Citizen Promaster Skyhawk A-T Atomic Timekeeping JY8146-54E

Citizen celebrates 35 years of Promaster with a Skyhawk A-T that pairs serious flight-watch functions with an unexpected color scheme. Sakura pink-tone accents brighten the bezel, crown, pushers and busy analog-digital dial against a dark gray case and black bracelet. The edition comes in a matching Sakura pink Promaster tackle box.

The 46 mm stainless-steel watch uses Citizen's light-powered U680 movement, with radio-controlled time synchronization, time settings for 43 world cities, a second time-zone display and UTC readout. It also has a 1/100-second chronograph that measures up to 24 hours, two alarms, a 99-minute countdown timer, perpetual calendar, digital backlight and power-reserve indicator. Sapphire crystal and 200-meter water resistance complete the watch. Production is limited to 5,600 unnumbered pieces worldwide.

Our Take

We like the contrast between the Skyhawk's instrument-packed dial and its Sakura pink details. The anniversary colorway makes this unmistakably different from the usual dark aviation watch without giving up the functions that make a Skyhawk interesting.
