Red Arrows a have a long-standing history with Citizen watches and over the years Citizen have produced some spectacular watches for the iconic Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team. Some of the watches have been simpler in design and then some are more of this ilk. The new Skyhawk A-T; limited edition of 9999 timepieces has all the gadgets that are key to an air force pilot in jaw-dropping styling.
Configured in the Red Arrow colours of red, white, and black the turbine inspired case is made from stainless-steel with a chunky look. The red is used to highlight features of the case whilst the white pops against the mainly black backdrop for readability at a glance, key for any pilot. A pilot slide rule bezel adds a hearty feature to the case and we love the attention to detail that has gone into finishing the push-buttons and crown on the side of the watch head. The stainless-steel case back features the famous RAF Red Arrows Diamond Nine inscribed on the individually numbered watches.
The Promaster comes from Citizen’s Skyhawk A-T collection and boasts many tools built into the powerful Eco-Drive system. A movement with a small radio signal can pick up the atomic frequency to set itself to the correct time zone from a staggering 43 different cities. This techy piece also has the added tools of a perpetual calendar, alarms, countdown timer, stopwatch, power reserve and UTC display with backlighting. Presented on a stainless-steel bracelet with a bracelet deployment clasp fastening this timepiece is water resistant to 200 meters.
Every Citizen watch is powered by their patented Eco-Drive movement. This sophisticated technology is powered by any light, not just solar power, that charges the lithium-ion cell within creating what we believe to be the most reliable battery powered watch movement in the world today.
Capping off this collector’s item, is the beautiful red presentation box with presentation plaque. This watch is the watch for any Red Arrows fan or anybody who loves the world of Aviation. More Citizen watches can be viewed here.
