New Citizen Navihawk Honors RAF Red Arrows Aerobatic Team

Following the success of the “Snowbirds” and “Blue Angels” releases, Citizen’s Promaster Air Navihawk collection welcomes its third aviation-inspired special edition — this time honoring the Red Arrows, the Royal Air Force’s renowned aerobatic display team. Known for their synchronized flying and bold red jets, the Red Arrows embody excellence, discipline, and spectacle in the skies. This new Navihawk channels that spirit into a compact, performance-driven timepiece built for those who admire precision both in flight and on the wrist.

Bold, Tactical, and Distinctly British

As with its predecessors, the Red Arrows edition features the 40 mm stainless steel case that redefined the Navihawk line’s wearability and versatility. What sets this model apart is its bidirectional bezel, finished in a black and red ion-plated coating, complementing a stealthy black dial adorned with sharp red accents. The result is a modern, tactical aesthetic that reflects the Red Arrows’ iconic aircraft and dynamic energy.

The slide-rule bezel, a staple in the Promaster Air line, remains fully functional for navigation calculations, while the navigation scale around the dial perimeter continues the aviation theme. Applied indexes, luminescent sword-shaped hands, and a red 1/5-second chronograph seconds hand ensure strong legibility and a bold visual identity.

Tribute Details That Matter

At 7:30 on the dial, enthusiasts will recognize the Royal Air Force Roundel next to the Red Arrows insignia, a subtle yet significant touch for those familiar with the team’s legacy. Flip the watch over, and the solid case back proudly displays the Red Arrows crest, signed in full color—sealing the watch as a wearable tribute to British aviation history.

The dial layout is consistent with the previous Air Navihawk editions, with a 24-hour register at 3 o’clock, running seconds at 6 o’clock, and a 60-minute chronograph counter at 9 o’clock, paired with a discreet date window at 4:30.

Eco-Drive Technology with Everyday Ruggedness

Powering the Red Arrows Navihawk is Citizen’s Caliber B620 Eco-Drive movement, a light-powered quartz engine that removes the need for battery changes and underscores Citizen’s commitment to sustainability. The watch also offers 200 meters of water resistance, a screw-down crown, pushers, and a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating—all of which enhance its durability for both daily use and adventure.

Completing the look is a 3-link stainless steel bracelet with a signed folding clasp, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.

A Complete Aerial Collection

With this latest release, Citizen has created a cohesive and compelling aviation trilogy — the Snowbirds, Blue Angels, and now the Red Arrows — each celebrating a different nation’s premier aerobatic squadron. These special editions bring together form, functionality, and heritage in a compact 40mm platform that is as wearable as it is meaningful.
