Citizen has released a new limited-edition model in its Promaster line, partnering with the Royal Air Force’s Red Arrows display team. The new Red Arrows Limited Edition Promaster Skyhawk (model JV2007-52E) is a hybrid analog-digital watch that focuses on aviation tools and durability. It is available now on the Citizen UK website for £695.
Design Details
From a hardware perspective, the Skyhawk is built around a 43mm case made of black ion-plated stainless steel. It comes with a matching triple-link stainless steel bracelet that fastens with a standard fold-over clasp and push buttons.
The top of the case features a rotating slide-rule bezel, which is a traditional mechanical tool pilots historically used for manual fuel and distance calculations. The watch face is covered by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a standard material for watches in this price range that prevents scratches and reduces glare.
The dial itself uses a black background with white and red accents. Because it is a hybrid watch, it combines traditional physical hands with digital readout screens to display its various functions. The feature set is extensive and geared toward travel and timing. It includes atomic timekeeping, meaning the watch syncs via radio signals to maintain exact accuracy, alongside standard world-time functions for tracking different time zones.
Additionally, the watch includes a perpetual calendar, a daily alarm, a 99-minute countdown timer, and a 1/100-second chronograph that can measure intervals up to 24 hours. Despite being an aviation-focused watch, it also carries a water resistance rating of 200 meters, meaning it will easily survive swimming or heavy rain.
Citizen is limiting the production of this specific Red Arrows model to 9,999 pieces globally. Each unit ships in a specific limited-edition presentation box.
In related news, Timex has launched a new fall-themed Peanuts Waterbury Classic watch, along with the affordable Expedition Sierra Chronograph featuring a bold military-inspired dial.
