Citizen’s Promaster Nighthawk Is a Blackout-Watch You Never Have to Wind
CitizenSome of the most durable products available on the market are inspired by the military, so it should come as no surprise that Citizen’s ultra-rugged, outdoor-ready, blacked-out Promaster Nighthawk was inspired by military stealth helicopters. But rugged, outdoor ready watches are often bulky, chunky and anything but stealth. That’s where the Promaster Nighthawk bucks the trend. Its 42mm case is sleek, and wouldn’t look out of place during a night on the town. Plus, it’s powered by Citizen’s proven EcoDrive tech, which allows it to be charged on any available light — never wind your watch or replace a battery again. Top that off with lumed hands and markers to see in the dark (say in a pub or deep in the forest), dual time zones, a stylish black leather strap and water resistance down to 600 feet, and you’ve got yourself a wristwatch that can do just about anything.
