Our take on the Citizen Promaster Skyhawk A-T JY8078-01L

The Skyhawk A-T is Citizen's pilot-style analog flight watch, driven by Eco-Drive solar quartz and synced by radio to atomic clocks in the US, Europe, Japan and China. It packs a lot into one dial: world time across 43 cities, a 1/100-second chronograph, countdown timer, alarms, perpetual calendar and a UTC sub-dial, all in a 200 m stainless steel case with sapphire crystal. The leather strap and busy, instrument-panel dial suit pilots and travelers who want a set-and-forget watch; buyers wanting a clean everyday piece or a bracelet should look at the steel-bracelet Skyhawk versions or a simpler Promaster. Owners praise the solar charging and radio accuracy and the legible lume, but many find the dial crowded and the leather strap the weak point on a 200 m watch.

Questions and answers

Does the Skyhawk A-T need a battery?
No. It runs on Citizen's Eco-Drive solar movement, charged by any light, and the rechargeable cell typically lasts many years.
How does radio-controlled timekeeping work?
The watch syncs nightly with atomic clock signals in the US, Europe, Japan and China. If no signal is available it runs as a normal quartz watch until the next sync.
Can I swim with it?
Yes. It is rated 200 m water resistant, so swimming and showering are fine. The leather strap is the weak point in water, so a rubber or steel strap suits pool and sea use better.
What is the case size?
The case is roughly 45 mm across, which wears large. Shoppers with wrists under about 7 inches should try it on first.
What functions does it have?
World time for 43 cities, a 1/100-second chronograph, countdown timer, alarms, perpetual calendar and a UTC display, plus a light for the dial.
How does it compare with the steel-bracelet Skyhawk?
The movement and functions are the same. The bracelet version is heavier but better matched to the 200 m rating and needs no strap replacement.
