I wore the Nighthawk on active military operations for years and years. It served me very well. I finally gave it to my son when I simply could not read the dials any longer (eyes start to go after 40!). I told my son that the only jewelry that most men wear is a watch, so wear a good one. He took it and had the crystal replaced as it had served a hard life. He still wears it to this day and he tells me he gets complimented on it daily. Kind regards,

For my 10th anniversary at my job in Aerospace (UTC) I allocated myself 2k for a watch. After two weeks of considering what watch is most appropriate I purchased a NightHawk and put the remaining funds back into savings.

I own both and as a pilot, the Knighthawk is my go-to watch for flying. Having the Citizen's dual time for the Zulu time checks is invaluable especially for flight plans and aviation weather briefings. The Flightmaster is a smart looking watch but the reflections from the domed hardlex and smaller face on the Seiko make it less useful for making instant time checks. For some reason, the Seiko impresses the ladies more than the Citizen, so it is the timepiece I take to aviation events and airshows.

@@nico-zh4eo . Incredibly, I misread Nick Post's comment about the timekeeping accuracy of his Citizen Nighthawk watch. But it is very unlikely, almost exceedingly unlikely, that any Nighthawk watch is accurate to +/- 0.1 seconds ( i.e., 1/10 of a second) per day because radio-control watches are inaccurate by a half second (0.5 seconds) just before receiving the automatic time calibration signal every 24 hours. If his Nighthawk watch was actually accurate to +/- 0.1 seconds per day, that would mean that it is only inaccurate by +/- 3 seconds per month ( or 3.1 seconds per month in a 31-day month). and there is no way any Citizen Nighthawk watch is that accurate in timekeeping accuracy! My Citizen BJ7019-62E Nighthawk watch is accurate to + 9-9.5 seconds per month, the last time I calculated its' timekeeping accuracy.

@@MrSlurry . You must have an exceedingly unusual Nighthawk watch that has that kind of phenomenal timekeeping accuracy because non- radio-control, non-GPS quartz watches are accurate to +/- 15 seconds per month and the overwhelming majority of non-radio-controlled, non-GPS quartz watches cannot achieve an accuracy of +/-3 seconds per month (which would be a freakishly accurate +/-36 seconds per year)! I'm going to check my Citizen Nighthawk BJ7005-59E watch on March 28, 2022 to see what its' accuracy is since it was in perfect synchronization on February 28th with my radio-control Citizen CB0025-56E watch. By the way, "Eco-Drive" does not refer to a Citizen watch's movement. It refers to the solar cells below the watch dial that utilize light (sunlight or artificial light) to charge the watch's capacitor to power the watch movement and features.

After not wearing a watch for almost 20 years, about a year ago my obsession was reborn with the purchase of two watches that I blame for that rebirth...one of them being the all black steel Nighthawk (BJ7019-62E). That was June 2016 and less than a year later I've added about a dozen more watches ranging from less expensive watches with odd designs to an elegant Seamaster AquaTerra, but my Nighthawk is my go-to daily watch. My friends are only half-joking when they mention staging an intervention. I know I'm late to the game on this video, but I just found your channel recently and am making my way through your back episodes. Thank you for not being the typical watch snob!

I have both the Citizen Nighthawk Blue Angels(much cooler than the black/red dial) and the Flighty(black sna-411 and the white/blue sna-413 version). The Citizen is easier to read, has better lume, has the gmt hand, is solar powered eco-drive, and has that great bracelet with the wing cross section links. A great, cool watch, and by all stats, the better watch. If I had to make a choice of one watch to keep? I’d have to go with…. The Flighty! It’s comfortable wear, layout, cool slide rule bezel( although it’s impossible to read without a magnifying glass). When you look at it, the symmetry of the lumed round indices, the multiple complications, the alarm, the perfect color choice of the yellow second and minute hands, the hypnotic, soothing effect of the second hand reset, and the split polished bracelet links, and that beautiful domed crystal all contribute to that incredible X-factor that leaves the decision to your gut, rather than your brain! TGV, I completely understand your love affair with the Flighty. I’d never part with my Flighty, never, ever, I just won’t do it!

As a pilot I am buying the Flightmaster as my 100 subscriber reward. I did not choose the nighthawk because it doesn’t have a chronograph. We need a stop watch for timing in an emergency a rate one 180 degree turn to get us out of trouble. We also use a stopwatch for establishing field length on a precautionary landing and of course for basic land navigation. I am using a Casio G-Shock M5610, but I am going to see how the Flighty stands up. I will probably change the crystal for an anti glare sapphire. Thanks for doing this comparison.

Have been wearing the Flightmaster for a few weeks now. The slide rule feature gets used constantly. I even obtained a Post Versalog slide rule circa 1951 just to sharpen my slide rule skills. Visually I am drawn to the Nighthawk as its dial is not so congested. Citizen gets another up with the Eco-Drive movement compared with the aging 7T62 movement w/399 battery. I now have 2 watches that use this cell. Citizen gets a down with no duel time and chrono feature. Seiko gets a down for clipping the tachymeter scale to the point it is not seriously useable. Bottom line is I enjoy USING the Flightmaster very much. It is stylishly very different than most watches out there and its functionality tips it over the top. I was not going to purchase the Flightmaster without putting it to work for me. It is quick and does not require cell phone or calculator. My kind of world where brain is still involved.

The first one I bought for my dad's birthday was this Seiko flightmaster after watching your review of it. It is a great watch with so many features. The only thing I was not able to do was to set the alarm even after going through the manual. Other watches I now have is a Orient King diver from the 70s, a Seiko 5 Sports automatic, a Seiko V657 OB38 R2 for which there is little info on the net,, a Citizen 23 Jewel Automatic, an unusual swiss watch made by Brizo, a 20 year old swatch chrono, a mint Tissot PRS200 I grabbed by chance on ebay for cheap, a Casio edifice and my F-91W from primary school (still working). Thank you for your detailed reviews and tips.

The crystal exposed is kind of a let down if you do use the watch for what it is. However, in that same respect all the information on the bezel on the Seiko will scratch away and be illegible. Not only that but the diameter of the viewable space is bigger will all the information enclosed and protected within the watch. All that the Citizen would ever need is a good polish on the stainless steel and maybe eventually a new crystal. When all the information rubs off or becomes scratched on the bezel, that functionality is lost or tainted.

In fact the watch review that got me back into watches was your SARB017 video, I went with the SARW019 instead because of the higher beat and "chronograph styling"....thanks again!

My eco drives have been spot on for time consistency, just as good as any of my Seikos

It's amazing how accurate my nighthawk has been. I've never had to reset it in 3 years

Very nice duel review, TGV. I'm most interested in your mechanical watch reviews, though. Keep 'em coming!

The Citizen Nighthawk movement (B877) is also +/- 15 s per month, not +/- 30 s per month.

Great review. I find it tough to pick between those two: the Nighthawk is super cool looking but that mineral crystal does put me off a bit. The Flightmaster is more of a pure tool watch so wins for me just because it's more what I need day to day. Both lovely watches though. I think the international reference for the Seiko at the end is SPB041, which might be helpful for anyone who wants to get hold of one.

My first watch was a citizen and I took it to Afghanistan with me (2008). Mine was one of the few watches to make it through the whole year deployment. The sand and dryness is the devil on a watch but my Citizen never missed a beat.

here in prestige between the brands there is a 3 point difference but in the one between the citizen ny0040 and the skx(same brands) there is only 1 point difference. so the nighthawk wins afterall?

I don't why but Citizen is always my favorite one in any category. I'm talking not just about this watch but in general.

Nice comparison buddy, like always. I own a Citizen AW1365-01H (pretty much a IWC's Topgun hommage) and I'm quite pleased with the piece. Keep up the good work !

Very close call, to be sure. Seiko is my favorite brand, and I do like the Flightmaster, but the Nighthawk edges it out for me for a few reasons. First, I adore the GMT display (especially the plane hands). Second, I wanted to try an eco-drive (I love my Seiko recraft solar chronograph SSC667). Third, I like the internal rotating slide rule. Fourth would be the lug width. Fifth is the clarity of the lume display. And the sixth reason came down to price. I had been looking back to the Nighthawk and kicking myself for not getting one a few years ago. At the moment, now in 2020, the Nighthawk featured here is going for $500 or so. *But* I found the Blue Angels version -- which I actually prefer -- for $199, so I ordered one of those. I might have to get a Flightmaster in the future, though. Why settle for just one of these beauties?
