The Citizen JY8058-50L Promaster Sky
Our watch of the week this time is the Citizen JY8058-50L, an automatic watch with many additional functions and extras. Be surprised!
The Blue Angels
The Citizen Promaster Blue Angel is based on the Blue Angels, an elite flight squadron of the US Navy. They are known for their flight maneuvers, as well as their precision and elegance. This is, of course, also reflected in the Citizen radio-controlled wristwatch. It offers many functions such as a chronograph, a perpetual calendar, 2 alarms, four time zones, a countdown timer, dial illumination, an UTC display, and a rotating slide rule bezel for pilots, which also makes this watch part of the aviation watch category.
The Blue Angels are an aerobatic demonstration squadron of the United States Navy, which also includes members of the United States Marine Corps. The Blue Angels were founded in 1946 and perform every year in front of over 10 million spectators. They fly six fighter jets. Four of the Angels stay together in different formations during the air show, while the other two fly solo and perform individual maneuvers.
The radio signal of the Citizen JY8058-50L
Automatic - every day! With this automatic watch, no manual time adjustment is needed anymore. Because manual adjustment can be very annoying. If you do not set the watch correctly from the start, it will begin to run slow. Radio technology takes this task off your hands. Once a day, it automatically receives a time signal based on an atomic clock and updates itself to the correct time. It also synchronizes time, day, and date, but only late at night to avoid possible interference with the signal from smartphones or other electronics.
Signals from 4 geographic regions- The radio technology of the Citizen wristwatch is based on receiving a time signal from transmitters in four different regions: Europe, North America, China, and Japan. However, different Citizen models have different ranges and receive signals from different transmitters. Reception can also be affected by local topography, buildings, and weather.
