Citizen Nighthawk: спустя годы эти часы за 300 долларов с функцией «TRUE GMT» всё ещё остаются не...

The sub $500 and sub $300 market has a huge amount of options these days with the likes of microbrands, Aliexpress brands, and of course the big players like Casio and Seiko with their SSK GMTs. That said, when it comes to a solid watch with a jumping local hour hand “true” GMT function for less than $300, Citizen is the brand on top. The Citizen Nighthawk BJ7000 is an incredibly value packed pilot’s watch with a gmt complication all for less than $300. I have known about the watch for a long time, however, I never got around to buying it mainly because I was worried that the dial was too busy and the case was too big. But I quickly found out that neither of those things are a problem once I bought it years ago. So in this video I will go over the dimensions of the Nighthawk and how it wears on the wrist because the numbers on paper do not do the watch justice. And then I will get into the details of the dial, hands, case, and bracelet to prove that this is easily the best pilot’s watch available at this sub $300 price point.
