Citizen Skyhawk AT BLUE ANGELS
Stepped off the aircraft at Boeing Field and walked straight into a Blue Angels jet on full display, while wearing the watch built in its colors. Some pairings you plan, and some the day just hands you. The submitter runs operations for a maritime force protection outfit in the Pacific Northwest, and the watch goes where the work does.

Citizen Skyhawk A-T, Blue Angels Edition
The Citizen Skyhawk A-T is a pilot's analog-digital chronograph that runs on Eco-Drive, charging from any light and never needing a battery, and on atomic timekeeping that syncs the watch to a radio time signal for accuracy measured against an atomic clock. It carries multiple time zones, an alarm, a countdown timer, and a slide-rule bezel for the kind of math pilots once did by hand. This is the officially licensed US Navy Blue Angels edition, finished in the squadron's blue and gold.
The Blue Angels
The Blue Angels are the US Navy's flight demonstration squadron, flying the F/A-18 in the same colors worn on the watch. The submitter, who directs operations for a maritime force protection company in the Pacific Northwest, photographed his on the ramp at Boeing Field beside a Blue Angels jet on static display. The watch was designed around the cockpit, and for one afternoon it stood in front of the real thing.
