Product Description
Give a special gift to that special man with an eye on the sky with the Citizen Skyhawk JR3090-58L titanium watch that honors the Blue Angels, the legendary US Navy precision flying team, with an official Blue Angels insignia on the caseback. Titanium is nearly 50 percent lighter than steel, but 30 percent stronger. It's also particularly resistant to salt water corrosion. It's powered by Citizen's unique Eco-Drive, which absorbs sunlight and any artificial light through the crystal and dial to recharge the watch continuously. The fast-forward timekeeping features include time and calendar in twenty-two time zones, thirty cities, three world time alarms, a 99-minute countdown timer, one-touch interchangeable analog/digital time, and 1/100-second chronograph that measures up to 24 hours. The large round black bezel offers a bi-directional rotating slide rule with yellow triangle accents. The midnight blue dial background features large silver-tone hands and Arabic numerals. It also features a durable, lightweight satin-finished titanium bracelet, water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet), and a scratch-resistant, non-reflective mineral crystal.Similar Products

I have had a Breitling B2 watch, that could never keep time. I am a private pilot, and appreciate a nice watch. This is a great watch so far. I also travel to New Zealand quite often, so am looking forward to useing the multi-time zone feature. So far I can't fined anything wrong with this.

This is one sweet watch and I sell more of these watches by just wearing the timepiece--Now thanks to this Jewelry Beta here on Amazon I can verily and enthusiastically recommend this fine watch.
Many so termed "mens watches" lose their appeal with me and some other men because they look and feel effeminate. This is not the case here.
Solid, good looking, rugged and you'll never, EVER require a battery (unless you're a spelunker who dwells/resides in caves--if so bring along a candle because this miniscule light will recharge the internal batteries).
I also bought a "spare" blue leather band which gives it a different look and feel.
This is a great gift! Buy another one for me--PLEASE!

I purchased this watch in August of 2009 and have only set it once (the first day I owned it). You will need to read the manual since setting it is not like a standard watch. I find the controls very easy to use once you understand the setting process. The watch is extremely accurate, loosing only 9 seconds in 6 months. The face of the watch is very busy, but most technically-minded people will enjoy this feature. To me, the watch is beautiful to look at. I do get a lot of complements on the watch, and many people have asked to see it up close.
As a pilot, I find the E6-B calculator a handy feature to have on hand. I use it for simple calculations from time to time. The many time zones also come in handy while traveling. The ecodrive is amazing. Always maintains a full charge even in the gloom dark winter days of Michigan.
I'd highly recommend the titanium version; the stainless steel version is noticeably heavier (I've held both). There is not really much to say negative about this watch. Amazon's price is very competetive.

high quality, high style watch at a very good price! what's not to love?

I owned this model for about six years. I found the watch easy to use, and functional. It was my first titanium watch, and I found the strap held up fine relative to scratches. The reason I give this watch one star, is that it leaked. I recently noted condensation under the glass. I sent it back to Citizen and they indicated the case tube leaked. Now out of warranty, I can change the CASE and MOVEMENT to repair. So- basically I need a whole new watch.
So, while I enjoyed the watch I am disappointed that it failed in this manner.
I have bought several Eco-Drives for friends and family as gifts, but will no longer buy Citizen products.
