Owning Citizen's 9051 caliber I already knew how special owning the 9054 caliber would be as both are exclusive to Citizen watches as they should be and are considered an upgrade for sure! This watch screams beauty, legibility, symmetry, and is very masculine and has amazing presence on the wrist. The pilot helmet on the caseback is very cool to say the least and I'm glad Citizen didn't leave it blank as it makes the overall package even more special. Grip on both crowns is a breeze thanks to it's knurling, and the operation on both crowns are flawless and a pleasure to manipulate. I would say the dial in certain lighting is like a dark charcoal black, wow! Love LOVE the red gmt hand for immediate contrast, everything on this watch is perfect from the applied indices to the outrageous long lasting lume to the cross on the dial is in an almost sector or crosshair appearance is just flat out cool. The sword style hands are so perfect what else can you say this watch screams pilot gmt and it's execution is superb, also it's a great value for it's price point what your getting. Lastly the bracelet is also perfect I have a very big wrist and male or female end-links don't matter to me, the brushing and polishing on the watch head to the bracelet is done to a very high standard, love the angles Citizen did where the bracelet connects to the watch head, just another perfectly done design adding to the whole pilot theme. Winner!!!
I went to a Citizen store looking for this, but ended up buying it online. I love the Promaster aesthetics and overall quality construction. It is a large timepiece and I would recommend that this would best suit someone with a 7" or larger wrist. The indices and hands are very easily read in day and night.
This is my first automatic watch, it shipped really fast. Easy to set, easy to adjust sizes. Easy to read. As a pilot I love the simplicity of it, while still getting some cool pilot and GMT features. Only con: it is a fixed 24hr bezel.
Beautiful watch
