Citizen Unveils Promaster Nighthawk Sikorsky: A Tribute To Black Hawk S-70
Citizen has unveiled a special edition of its iconic Promaster Nighthawk, crafted in partnership with Sikorsky, the renowned North American leader in helicopter manufacturing. This exclusive timepiece takes inspiration from the Sikorsky S-70, a versatile helicopter developed in the late 1970s and famously recognized as a variant of the UH-60 Black Hawk, used extensively by the United States Army and Air Force.
The watch features a robust 42.40mm stainless steel case with a fixed blackened bezel, embodying the rugged spirit of the Promaster collection. Its functional design includes knurled crowns—one positioned at 3 o’clock for setting the time, date, and second-time zone, and another at 8 o’clock for operating the internal rotating bezel. Enhanced by a shatter-resistant mineral glass and a screw-down case back, this model is water-resistant up to 200 meters, making it a reliable companion for adventurers and aviation enthusiasts alike.
The dial, in a striking grey with yellow and white accents, reflects the tones of the Sikorsky S-70 helicopter. It boasts a vibrant and busy layout, including orange and white striped luminescent hands, an orange GMT hand for tracking a second time zone, and a white centre hand dedicated to the 24-hour display located on the left hemisphere of the dial. A date window resides at the 3 o’clock position, while an array of scales for aircraft fuel measurements and other functionalities adorns the bezel and outer edges of the dial. Notable details include the “S-70” inscription at noon and the logos of both Citizen and Sikorsky, along with the silhouette of the S-70 helicopter at 3 o’clock.
Powered by Citizen’s Eco-Drive Caliber B877, this timepiece harnesses light from any source, eliminating the need for battery replacements. The solid case back, decorated with the Sikorsky S-70 motif, further emphasizes the partnership’s aviation heritage.
The Promaster Nighthawk Sikorsky S-70 comes in a specially designed stealth-themed box and is paired with a durable black rubber strap featuring a signed steel pin buckle. An additional yellow rubber strap is also included, providing versatility for wearers. Priced at $595, this special-edition watch offers both functionality and a tribute to one of the most iconic helicopters in aviation history. Perfect for enthusiasts of aviation, military heritage, and durable timepieces, this watch combines Citizen’s technical expertise with Sikorsky’s legacy in a unique design.
