Citizen Eco-Drive Men's Promaster Nighthawk

Product Information

However, if there is one area of criticism, it would be the quality of the lume. In my opinion, it is merely average and could benefit from additional layers of Citizen’s proprietary lume formula. Movement

There are many watches available in the same price range as the Nighthawk, but few offer as many features. Additionally, the high-quality bracelet is a standout feature that sets it apart from other watches. The Nighthawk uses Citizen’s proprietary, Eco-Drive, solar-powered movement B877. These solar powered movements can be charged from natural light or actual light bulbs. Citizen states the watch is accurate to +/- 15 seconds a month, I am getting almost +1 second per month on mine. I’ve yet to have the watch run down on me and a full charge seems to last well over six months. On the left hemisphere, you’ve got the most distinctive implementation of a GMT/dual-time analog display. Citizen accomplishes this by using one central hand with two airplane-shaped tips – a red and a white one.Let’s dig into the specs and reasons why the Citizen Nighthawk is the best tool watch that every man should own. Accuracy is just one aspect I consider when evaluating the performance of a quartz watch. The Nighthawk excels in terms of wearability, making it a versatile, all-purpose timepiece. Whether worn on its bracelet or a strap, it exudes a sporty or rugged vibe, respectively. In addition to its precision, the Eco-Drive movement’s solar power capability is a valuable feature to have in a watch. The lug width is a standard 22mm, so it can take all of your 22mm NATO and leather straps. If you’re a rebel like me, you’ll put 20mm straps on it as well if they look good. The shape of the case is very angular and aggressive, but without detracting from comfort. This gives it a very robust military aesthetic, adding ot the entire design. Citizen got a lot of things right with this watch, and the case size and construction are no exception. The Nighthawk is 42mm in diameter and sits very comfortably on the wrist. The dial is the perfect size to show off everything without being too large or too small.

The main feature in common is the case and bracelet – although it does add the increased functionality of a quartz chronograph – useful for measuring elapsed time. The first thing you’ll notice is the striking dial design. You’re instantly met with a sea of information besides just the time. When I first lay my eyes on a watch, the initial impression it leaves on me carries a lot of weight. In most cases, if a watch fails to impress me within the first 30 seconds, it becomes an uphill task for it to win me over. While this approach has proven to be reliable, there have been instances where I have grown to like watches that initially seemed unimpressive. According to Citizen, the watch is accurate within +/- 15 seconds per month, though my own experience with the watch shows it to be off by less than one second per month. The watch has never run out of power on me, and a single charge typically lasts well over six months. The Nighthawk’s brushed and slightly polished case and lugs give it a sporty look that is suitable for a variety of settings, ranging from a casual work environment to outdoor adventures or even a day at the beach. It is, without a doubt, a versatile timepiece that can handle anything you throw at it.
