Promaster Sky Blue Angels JY8078-52L Watch

The Watch

This timepiece is brought to you by Citizen. From the Promaster Sky collection, the Citizen Promaster Blue Angels JY8078-52L watch pays tribute to the Navy's elite flight demonstration squadron. It features a stainless steel case measuring 45.4 mm in diameter and 14.4 mm thick, with a winding crown and two pushers on the right side. The bidirectional bezel is a slide rule bezel - an invaluable tool for pilots. The dial is protected by a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a hallmark of fine watchmaking. The snap-on caseback on this model delivers a water resistance rating of 20 ATM. The caseback is engraved with the Blue Angels logo.

The Dial

This piece features an elegant round blue dial. Around the perimeter, you'll find white baton hour markers. The markers at three, six, and nine o'clock take the form of Arabic numerals. Between the hour markers, a subtle yet highly practical white minute scale runs around the dial. At 12 o'clock, an additional subdial displays universal time. At 2 o'clock, a subdial shows a second time zone, and at 10 o'clock, a subdial displays the watch's power reserve. The two digital displays at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock give access to the watch's various functions via the selection menu at 6 o'clock. At the center of the dial, three hands - the hour and minute hands in gray with a luminescent coating - keep the time. The seconds hand sports a bold yellow finish. Finally, the brand signs the dial at 12 o'clock and notes the collection details at 8 o'clock.

The Movement

Inside this case beats a solar Eco-Drive movement - specifically the U680 caliber. This movement displays hours, minutes, seconds, along with a range of additional functions detailed in the sections above.

The Bracelet

The bracelet on this watch is a gray stainless steel bracelet, ensuring the watch remains fully water-resistant. You can easily slip this watch onto your wrist thanks to its deployment clasp.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 20 atmospheres, or 200 meters. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a watch built to go deep with you on your underwater adventures! Designed for freediving, it doesn't shy away from water - you can even use it while operating a pressure washer. Showers, baths, swimming, and freediving are all on the table. However, for scuba diving with tanks, we recommend a timepiece with a higher water resistance rating. Also be sure not to use the crown or pushers while submerged, to protect the integrity of the movement.
