Since its foundation in 1930, CITIZEN has promoted a multi-cultural mindset that fosters excellence and creativity. The very name of the brand conveys a deep respect toward craftsmanship and considered as familiar by citizens the world-over. So as a “citizen” of the world, we bear the responsibility to help cultivate a culture of positive change and on-going evolution through our craft. We take that mission seriously and steadfastly welcome what the future may bring.
As a true manufacture d’horlogerie, CITIZEN integrates a comprehensive manufacturing process from creating individual components to a watch’s final assembly. It’s an artisan’s approach to watch making based on pushing forward the boundaries of technology and leveraging our experience toward exploring new possibilities.
One pivotal technological breakthrough was the development of a light-driven watch. CITIZEN pioneered this engineering innovation well ahead of other watch manufacturers as early as 1976, which led to the launch of the highly acclaimed Eco-Drive in 1995. Utilizing electrical power converted from virtually any light source, this extraordinary innovation changed forever the way watches could be powered. Eco-Drive eliminated the need to ever replace batteries, which made it especially beneficial to areas where such specialist batteries were not obtainable. This leveled the field for citizens of virtually every country to be able to experience unrestricted joy of wearing and using a CITIZEN watch.
The product development policy, “The Fusion of Technology and Beauty,” remains a constant motivation for us to merge cutting-edge technology with perfection of design beauty, which as a consequence inspires people to strive to be their best at any time.
CITIZEN launches a new campaign in collaboration with Wieden+Kennedy, Better Starts Now. This is the simple belief that no matter who you are or what you do, it is always possible to make something better — and now is the time to start doing it. We believe that better and now are both infinite, and that there is always a next ‘better’ and a new ‘now’ in which you can start pursuing it. It was clear from the onset of this project that we are dedicated to this ideal…not to the past but to the present, and all the way we can improve it. To help communicate this belief to the world we have created a new global CITIZEN brand movie, brand identity and brand website that represents out Better Starts Now philosophy.

Reasons for 5 star rating:
1. Classy and beautiful looking: It is one of the major reasons which have me made the purchase decision. It has a very classy and serous looking timepiece but with senses of modern technology design. I like the simple face layout and easy to read at any circumstance. Very solid build quality and has a perfect weight (personal favor) on my wrist.
2. Performance and accuracy: This watch runs very accurately so far, I have set this watch in matching with my atomic clock in home when I received it month ago. There is about 6 second ahead of my atomic clock in a month of period. So I can say, it is very accurate and well within manufacturer's +/- 15"/month SPEC. This is the another major reason for keeping make me happy after the purchase.
3. Easy setup and Eco-Drive performance: It is very easy to set up, even for two time zones because there are no too many other fancy features which are not that important to me. Solar battery charge seems very efficient since I never put it directly under the sunlight, it is mostly charged under the standard office light and it runs very smoothly so far. I understand it will take longer time to reach to its full charge. The quick start feature works very good, it only take about 5-10 minutes of normal room light charge to have this watch ramp up from stop to normal running.
4. Other useful features: Slide rule is useful under certain circumstance. I have to wear a pair of eye glass to take advantage of this feature if I need to.
5. Vendor performance: Amazon.com has been one of my most favorite online shopping places. Amazon did same great job on this transaction. Great pricing, on time delivery and, more importantly, Amazon is authorized Citizen dealer, so your watch is covered by the manufacturer's 5 yr warranty. Wonderful buy!!!
6. A few improvements which could make this product even better:
* A power reserve gauge which shows the current reserved power level.
* A non reflective sapphire glass instead of standard mineral crystal.
7. Other thoughts: Before I purchase this watch I also looked following related models:
* Citizen CB0010-53L: which is an AT watch with 26 city world time and perpetual calendar. Local Costco (California) is selling it for $249.00/each which is the best price you can get for this unit. But Nighthawk has much better looking over CB0010-53L.
* Citizen JY0040-59L: Blue Angels Skyhawk AT watch with 43 city world time, perpetual calendar and a lot other fancy features. It is a very nice timepiece I almost got that but it's face layout gets a little too busy and cluster and a $200 cost justification which hold me up.
* Citizen AT4009-59L: Perpetual AT watch with 5 time zone (US, London plus one customer define zone) atomic time keeping accuracy, perpetual calendar, alarm and non-reflective sapphire glass. In addition, it is an "Eli Manning Limited Edition" (only 1000 pcs supplied globally). Current best retail $540.00/each from Macy's.com. This unit really looks great too. Planned to add this one into my collection by end of this year.
Pros:
-This watch is tough as nails. It’s built to take a beating, and it has held up extremely well.
-Citizens amazing Eco Drive solar cell. Battery? Who needs that?
-200 Meters of water resistance. This watch has been in the ocean and pool at least about 7 times and has had ZERO issues.
-The dial looks terrific. It is busy, but remarkably legible. it’s just a beautiful design and extremely unique. Without question, this is the best feature of the timepiece.
-Great GMT feature. You can easily change the hour hand by itself while the second hand continues to tick and the minute hand stays in place. This is a terrific feature for a watch under 300 bucks.
-Outstanding stock bracelet at this price point.
-Wears much smaller than the actual dimensions.
-Slide rule is really neat (albeit a bit of a challenge to use for the uninitiated)
-Comfortable and well balanced. A very masculine and manly watch. Although a pilot watch at the core, this is s no frills, tough as nails tool watch.
Cons:
-The biggest is most certainly the mineral crystal. This could be a design feature as mineral crystal is far less shatter proof than Sapphire (and for pilots, this would be critical), but the average person who wears this watch doesn’t fly a plane. Please Citizen, at least make an offering with Sapphire glass.
-Lune is decent. For being called the Nighthawk, would be great if it had more powerful lume.
-Has three micro adjustments on the clasp. Decent enough, but would like to see 4 or even 5.
-Speaking of the clasp, it does feel like the cheapest part of the bracelet, but it’s absolutely good to go.
Overall this is an OUTSTANDING watch for under 300 dollars and usually can be had for under 250. It’s really cool looking, tough as hell, extremely accurate, and comfortable to wear. It’s just a great everyday driver that you can grab and go on the whim and it’s for anything you throw it’s way. Citizen nailed it.
Top reviews from other countries
Build quality is great, but I'm a bit spoiled by my Omega Seamaster, so I would give a 8/10 for overall quality. The -2 points goes to less comfortable bracelet than the Omega (not very fair considering the price difference). Without a reference, I think I might give a solid 9.5/10
Very easy to size the links, took me 10 minutes to adjust with just a hammer and a small pin. I have a very small wrist, so I've taken out all the links and it fits great. (6-6.25"?)
Haven't tested with water, but not planning to swim or shower with it unless necessary.
Watch wears a bit heavy, but that's what I prefer.
Overall, elegant look and great build quality. can't go wrong with this piece.
It's been a week now since I received it and it's a very nice watch so far. Built quality is awsome as I expected, for both the casing and the band. The ruler is a cool feature as well as the screw down crown. The lume is ok but could have been brighter! It's a good good good watch overall, so buy with confidence.
Pros
- Built Quality
- Nice features
- Screw down crown
- Blue lume
- GMT time
Cons
- Weight
- Many infos on the watch might make it a bit difficult to read at first.
- No lume on the seond hand
