The Blue Angel Skyhawk A-T Chronograph Men’s Watch, made by Citizen Watch Company, is a technological masterpiece of the Japanese watchmakers. It is a real evidence of the company’s leadership in timekeeping business.
This exceptional product is the official watch of the United States Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron. These skilful aviators, better known by their nickname Blue Angels, are the oldest aerobatic team in the world. Six aircrafts that form Blue Angels performed for the first time in 1946. Since then, this prestigious Navy’s squadron has performed for around 427 million spectators around the world!
Because of its original intent, the Eco-Drive Blue Angels Skyhawk A-T features impressive technological functions and has a distinct appearance and colors that match the emblem of Blue Angels.
This exquisite Citizen watch for men features Eco-Drive, which means that this timepiece is powered by any light, either natural or artificial. The light passes through the crystal and a dial and then it gets converted and stored by a solar cell. This means that all the owners of this groundbreaking watch do not have to worry about batteries, because they have power for the entire lifetime. Even without an additional exposure to the light, Eco-Drive enables this Citizen watch to function for another 6 months!
Another modern function is its revolutionary precision. Citizen’s popular model, named Eco-Drive Blue Angels Skyhawk A-T, has a multi-band atomic receiver which enables radio-controlled accuracy because it synchronizes with the extremely precise atomic watches in North America, Europe and Japan. This Citizen watch for men also includes reliable Japanese quartz chronograph movement.

The bezel of the watch is also adapted for pilots and therefore features unidirectional stainless steel bezel with a slide rule for all the necessary calculations. The blue and circular dial is protected with a window made of a resistant and non-reflective mineral. The case of the Eco-Drive Blue Angels Skyhawk A-T is 47 millimeters in diameter and 13 millimeters thick.
The dial of this Citizen model is a combination of analog and digital dials.

I have the Skyhawk and it is a great watch. It looks classy yet rather discrete, and includes all the cool functions like radio control, which means you always have the exact time. Another good thing it’s that it is powered by solar light. I highly recommend this watch, especially the titanium version that i bought.
I also have the titanium Skyhawk, which is very important for me, because i have sensitive skin and titanium is actually hypo-allergenic. And i also like the aviation watch theme.
For $700, you can have the ultimate pleasure every day and you can enjoy the beauty of Citizen watch. Also, for that money, you can always rely on the accuracy of the Citizen mechanism.
As soon as I read the name of the watch – Blue Angels Skyhawk, I was thrilled and I was filled with positive energy. I knew that this watch has to be mine! So it was!
And, my friends, I can tell you that I was absolutely right, this watch is amazing. Buy it without hesitation, you will not regret!
No doubt that this is the great watch. I can only regret because there is no model with a leather strap which I like very much. Never mind, all other models are nice. If I buy some of these models I`ll choose the one with titanium because it is better than steel.
