Citizen Men’s Eco-Drive Promaster Sikorsky Watch, Blue Dial,
Product Overview
The Citizen Men’s Eco-Drive Promaster Sikorsky Watch is a limited-edition timepiece born from a collaboration with Sikorsky, the renowned American aircraft manufacturer. Inspired by the advanced S-92® helicopter—used globally in search and rescue, transport, and utility operations—this watch delivers professional-grade functionality with aviation-inspired design. Built for adventurers, pilots, and professionals who demand precision and durability, it combines rugged performance with sustainable technology. The watch runs on Citizen’s Eco-Drive system, harnessing any light source to power the movement, eliminating the need for battery replacements. With atomic timekeeping and a suite of high-tech features, it’s engineered for those who operate in demanding environments and value reliability above all.
Key Features
- Atomic Timekeeping with Global Synchronization: Automatically syncs with atomic clocks worldwide to ensure exceptional accuracy. The watch receives time calibration signals and adjusts to the correct time in 43 major world cities, making it ideal for frequent travelers or professionals working across time zones.
- Eco-Drive Technology: Powered entirely by light—natural or artificial—this watch never requires a battery change. A rechargeable lithium-ion cell stores energy efficiently, ensuring continuous operation as long as it’s exposed to light periodically.
- Advanced Chronograph Functionality: Features a 1/100-second chronograph capable of measuring elapsed time up to 24 hours. This precision timing tool is essential for pilots, athletes, or anyone requiring split-second accuracy in timing tasks.
- Perpetual Calendar & Dual Time Zones: The built-in perpetual calendar automatically accounts for varying month lengths and leap years, never needing manual adjustment. Combined with GMT functionality, it displays a second time zone, perfect for international coordination or travel.
- Multiple Utility Alarms & Timer: Includes two independent alarms and a 99-minute countdown timer, supporting time-sensitive operations. Whether managing flight schedules or workout intervals, these tools enhance daily organization.
- Digital Backlight & UTC Display: The digital display features a backlight for visibility in low-light conditions. It also shows Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), a critical reference for aviation and global communications.
- Power Reserve Indicator: Displays remaining energy levels, so you always know when the watch needs exposure to light for recharging.
- Sikorsky S-92® Inspired Design: The blue dial, accented with red, yellow, and white markings, reflects the color scheme and instrumentation of the S-92 helicopter. The bold 46mm stainless steel case and blue rubber strap offer a rugged yet comfortable fit, suitable for active wear.
- Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Crystal: Protects the dial from scratches and impacts, maintaining clarity and durability even in harsh conditions.
- 200-Meter Water Resistance: Suitable for recreational diving, swimming, and water sports. This level of resistance ensures the watch performs reliably in wet environments, from rain to deep submersion.

It is not user-replaceable and should be serviced by an authorized Citizen technician if needed. While water-resistant to 200 meters, it should not be used for high-impact water sports or saturation diving. The manufacturer’s warranty is available upon request through Citizen customer service. This model was first released on April 14, 2025, and may have limited availability due to its special-edition status. Always ensure the watch is exposed to regular light to maintain optimal power levels.
