Another SkyHawk

As a Citizen fan i do love a nice Skyhawk especially if it’s a nice price. I had bid on a Blue Angels SkyHawk but lost it as i was busy doing other stuff when the Auction ended, it sold for £5.00 more than my maximum bid.

Citizen Fujitsubo under the microscope

Welcome to another installment of the occasional series “Watches Under the Microscope.” Today, we’ll take a close look at a watch with a rather lengthy name: the Citizen Fujitsubo Promaster Marine Automatic Diver’s Super Titanium Promaster 35th Anniversary Limited Edition NB6026-56L. I’ll familiarly refer to it as the Citizen Fujitsubo. The watch is made from a titanium alloy equipped with technology that prevents scratching of this otherwise soft metal. The entire case is brushed. The gray…
