Every good watch collection should have a pilot’s watch, and if you are looking for a low-maintenance Flieger style timepiece that looks great and functions flawlessly, check out this model from Citizen.
This is a large watch, don’t get me wrong, but as an pilot’s watch, it’s supposed to be. (When you’re flying an aircraft, a big dial with easy to read numerals is a must!) This is actually a bonus if like me, you have larger wrists, but for you that have normal size wrists, fear not, this watch will look great on you, too!
The hour hand is thick, outlined with an attractive orange, which is also used on the 1-12 hour numerals outside the inner dial. The minute hand is more narrow, but still substantial, lined in black. Both hands have a considerable amount of lume, giving them a distinct white appearance which makes for easy accusation in daylight, and lights up like a flashlight in the dark. While I wish Citizen also applied lume to the numerals, the hands are large enough to tell time without the hour markers at night.
I like what Citizen did by printing the 13-24 hour numerals on the inside of the inner dial. It fits with the pilot’s watch, and it makes for an interesting dial.
The date wheel is awesome. It fixes a problem that plagues other Citizen watches where the date window is far too small. On this watch, the date window is narrow but long, showing three dates at once. With the middle date being the correct date. It is clearly marked, and easy to read. I love how the date works on this watch!
This watch is extremely accurate. I own several watches with Citizen’s Eco-Drive movement, and there are several reasons that I keep coming back for more. This watch is as accurate as any quartz watch I have ever owned. I reset my watches when Daylight Savings Time comes and goes, and this watch is never off more than a few seconds from when I set it six months before. Unlike most other quartz watches, the Eco-Drive movement is solar powered, and does an amazing job. With this watch, you don’t have to worry about changing batteries every year or two. Wearing this watch outside for one day a week is enough to keep it “charged” up and ready to go. If you store the watch on top of a dresser where it gets some sunlight, you won’t ever have to worry about the power reserve. If you are like me and wear watches on rotation, this Eco-Drive powered watch will work for you. On a full charge, you can store the watch in a dark drawer for more than 6 months without it missing a beat. Simply wear it in the sun for a few days or leave it under a lamp to charge back up.
The brown leather strap is of good quality, and I have kept it on the watch. It is soft, yet strong enough to keep a good hold onto this pilot’s watch.
In summary, this is an amazing pilot’s style watch at a very affordable price. Citizen’s EcoDrive Quartz movement will keep going for years without any maintenance, all you have to do is make sure it sees some sunshine.
Whether your adventures take you into the cockpit of an airplane, coach class, or just watching Topgun on TV, this Citizen will be by your side, just ticking away.

Love this watch
Looks even better than the pictures. Nice big face. Easy to read. I changed the watch band to suit my preferences, but the original band was pretty nice too. Highly recommend the watch to anyone looking for a “reasonably “ priced watch for every day use.

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2021
I was looking for a nice quality every day watch that was classically styled, had a date and was easy to read at a quick glance. This beautiful aviator styled watch from Citizen is perfect! It is very accurate and features the "Eco-Drive". The face of the watch is a solar cell that recharges the internal battery while the watch is worn. So you never have to replace the battery as long as you wear the watch more than once every six months.
Features I love about this watch:
1. Hard mineral crystal face is resistant to scratching.
2. Awesomely cool aviator styling.
3. Shows 24 hour "military" time and 60 seconds right on the main face.
4. Has a date that's easy to read.
5. The watch is large and easy to read the time at just a glance.
6. Water resistant to 10 bar! Suitable for skin-diving! Which means I can wear it in the pool or the beach without concern.
7. Hands do glow in the dark which is slightly helpful.
8. Classy and beautiful watch with a classic genuine leather band. SWEET!
Features I don't love:
1.What? No light so it could be easily read in a dark car at night. Meh...
Conclusion:
This is my first watch from Citizen I've added to my watch collection. It does everything I need and looks great while doing it. It also gets lots of compliments on the cool aviator styling and general good looks. I feel that although this isn't inexpensive (just under $200 from Amazon), it's still a great watch and a great value. It certainly won't be the last watch I buy from Citizen!
