Citizen Takes To The Skies Again With The New Air Navihawk “Blue Angels” Edition
Just two months after honoring Canada’s iconic Snowbirds, Citizen continues its tribute to elite aerial precision with the launch of the Promaster Air Navihawk “Blue Angels” Edition. This striking new timepiece celebrates the U.S. Navy’s legendary flight demonstration squadron, known for their tight formations, daring aerobatics, and unmistakable blue and yellow color scheme.
Designed within the compact and wrist-friendly 40 mm stainless steel case introduced in the Snowbirds edition, the Blue Angels version retains all the technical prowess and rugged durability of its predecessor, while infusing it with a bold new aesthetic that reflects the spirit of American naval aviation.
Aviation Heritage Meets Modern Design
At a glance, the Blue Angels edition immediately distinguishes itself with a vibrant blue dial and matching slide-rule bezel, accented by bright yellow markers and details—a visual homage to the squadron’s aircraft livery. The outer navigation scale continues to serve its dual purpose of providing both visual flair and practical functionality for aviators.
Subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock mirror the configuration of previous models: a 24-hour indicator, running seconds, and a 60-minute chronograph counter, respectively. A discreet date window at 4:30 ensures added utility without disrupting the clean symmetry of the layout. The applied indexes and sword-shaped luminescent hands provide excellent legibility, even in low-light conditions, while the red chronograph seconds hand brings a dynamic visual touch.
A Fitting Tribute on the Reverse
One of the most striking details of this model is on the back: the solid secrewed case back is adorned with the Blue Angeles squadron insignia, a badge of honor for one of the most respected air teams in the world.
The case is completed with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, knurled crown with crown guards, and 200 meters of water resistance, offering dependable protection in both cockpit and everyday environments.
Powering Performance: Eco-Drive Movement
As with other models in the series, the Blue Angels edition is powered by Citizen’s Eco-Drive Caliber B620—a light-powered quartz movement that requires no battery replacement. This sustainable technology makes the Air Navihawk a reliable companion for those who value both innovation and environmental responsibility.
The watch is secured with a 3-link stainless steel bracelet and a signed folding clasp, delivering comfort, strength, and seamless integration with the case design.
Like the Canadian aerobatic team’s Citizen Promaster version, the new Air Navihawk “Blue Angels” comes with a price tag of USD 595.
Closing Thoughts
The Citizen Promaster Air Navihawk “Blue Angels” Edition is more than just a commemorative timepiece—it’s a wearable tribute to aerial excellence, blending form, function, and storytelling in a compact and robust package.
Following the Snowbirds release, this new model solidifies the Promaster Air Navihawk’s place as a standout platform for honoring the world’s elite flight teams—each edition designed with care, precision, and an eye toward legacy.
