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. 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 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. NIGHTHAWK – the name of the watch, accompanied with the distinctive Promaster Logo that looks like a jet flying up in the air

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. Personally, I simply appreciate the utilitarian appearance of tool watches. Although the lume is just satisfactory, the generously sized hands and markers make reading the time effortlessly. The watch sits comfortably on the wrist and feels great all around, aided by the top-notch bracelet. Conclusion 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.On the other hand, this watch evokes a very “Special Operations” component of air missions, like the famous/secret 160 th SOAR (Special Operations Aviation Regiment) which, among many missions, famously transported Seal Team 6 to the Bin Laden raid. 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 watch features Citizen’s solar-powered movement B877, which is Eco-Drive proprietary technology. This movement can be charged through exposure to natural or artificial light sources, including light bulbs. 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 first thing you’ll notice is the striking dial design. You’re instantly met with a sea of information besides just the time.

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. Your new Eco-Drive timepiece is specially powered by proprietary ECO-DRIVE TECHNOLOGY, which converts any source of light (natural and artificial) into usable energy. The harnessed energy is then s... Let’s dig into the specs and reasons why the Citizen Nighthawk is the best tool watch that every man should own.The dial of the Nighthawk is the primary draw for most consumers, and in this regard, Citizen certainly delivers. The intricate markings on the dial are protected by a flat, mineral crystal that features an anti-reflective coating. In the first example below (Edge engraved) the caliber is E870 and on the second example (Center Engraved) the caliber is C050
