hands for changes in daylight savings or time zones without stopping the watch or moving the smaller (secondary) display, which is very useful indeed. Citizen Japan also has its own Nighthawk for its domestic sales – the rather expensive PMD56-2771 with a Duratect-treated titanium case and bracelet. The Navihawk range of pilot styled watches are battery operated as opposed to the more expensive Skyhawk range, which are Eco Drives. Citizen cleverly disguises its solar panels into the watch dial or sub-dials, you wouldn’t notice them unless you looked carefully!

The round face showcases a jet black dial and is enhanced by bold and luminous baton and Arabic numeral hour markers, a date window at 3 o'clock, a pilot's slide rule dial ring operated by a crown at 8 o'clock, finished with flashes of red for a powerful edge. The difference between the Asian/Euro and the American version are slightly different lume/indices and an engraved caseback on the Asian Euro vs an etched caseback on the American version.If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

That said, rather than primarily updating its aesthetics, adding a sapphire crystal and a new movement with a proper independently adjustable hour hand would have made the new Nighthawk an absolute home run, and you could even justify the removal of the screw-down crown on the grounds that it makes it easier to quickly update the local timezone. Both index extend a little past their end time to create an overlap area (hence the about 8 extra degrees). The numbers are too small to see in a small airplane while in flight, and operating the mechanism takes some finesse (which isn’t available in the wonderful bumpy world below 10,000 feet). It is important you read the certificate as this details the terms, conditions and any restrictions in cover. Rather than having the internal track of the slide rule scale printed along the outermost edge of the flat section of the dial, the entire slide rule has been moved to the large angled chapter ring.The build quality is decent enough, it doesn’t feel cheap or light, but at the same time doesn’t feel like an expensive bracelet. The case is constructed of 3-parts, as is standard, but has a very pronounced outer bezel that houses the internal slide rule. When operating the Citizen Eco-Drive B877 movement, pulling out the crown to the first position and rotating it in one direction will jump the local 12-hour hand forward in one-hour increments, while turning it in the other direction will advance the date display.

I have no trouble reading the time for at least six hours in total darkness once I energize the lume sufficiently.

The Nighthawk is a very full-featured watch, designed as a tool for pilots, but is also handy for traveling.
