Sky Pilot Chrono Radio controlled CB5000-50L is a great watch and it comes in 2 variants also with rubber strap. Great price and great watch.

Just bought one. I love it. I think they look really good. Even fun to play with the slide rule and work out how to do calculations, though I need magnifying glasses to do that. I got it very cheap, and as far as I'm concerned its got a dial that is much more true to the general history of pilot watches, being very clear with big numbers and marks and hands, and without too much busyness with multiple other dials.

@michaelwebster8389 10 ай бұрын

The only problem is the strap is a little tight, and took me a while to work out how to attach it.

This watch looks stunning. The only thing that really bothers me, and this is from having tried other Eco-Drive watches, is the left side bezel rotation. I tried playing with a watch that had this and it drove me nuts because I couldn't get my right thumb and index to grab it!

Regarding DST (quote from the manual): Special note about movement caliber H145 *When manually changing the Summer Time from OFF to ON to OFF, this engages the manual override built into movement caliber H145. This manual override precludes Summer Time from being automatically adjusted during the time signal update. If this function is not desired, the only way to cancel the manual override is to do the reset and 0-Positioning outlined on page 46.* Alternative: steel version sapphire (CB0241-85X), titanium with sapphire (CB0230-81L) - shop around for best price.

2:16 it's so weird what happened to the movement of the bezel, it's so loose! I had one (and have an old nighthawk), the bezel on the older model is way more solid, it doesn't float around.

Nice video! Informative and well presented. I am fairliy serious about purchasing this watch but have a qustions that I'd like you to answer if possible. I'm wondering if there is a way to account for Daylight Savings time vs. Standand time. Will the watch automatically adjust for the change during that biannual occurance? Thank you for considering my question.

@hammondwatch2808 Жыл бұрын

Being a radio controlled watch it will adjust for daylight savings.

Hey! Thanks for the great review! On your opinion, what is the battery life? When the battery (or capacitor?) should be replaced? The Citizen says that it s a life-time, but I didn't trust them.

@hammondwatch2808 Жыл бұрын

My experience has been that capacitors tend to go out sometime between 10- 15 years old. Its kinda luck of the draw though as I've had some pretty old citizens that work well with all original parts. I imagine it comes down to how long in spends dead in the dark.

Are you sure it’s a pressed-on caseback? With 200m WR I’d suspect a monocoque case.

@user-tk7km1sr7e 9 ай бұрын

I have the Nighthawk. Would that bracelet fit this watch? The case dimensions look similar. I like that the Skyhawk has a sapphire crystal. Is the AR coating work effective?

@michaelbarlow6610 7 ай бұрын

@user-tk7km1sr7e. No the regular Citizen Nighthawk bracelet (e.g., the black ion-plated, stainless steel bracelet found on the Citizen Nighthawk BJ7005-59E and BJ7019-62E watches) is not interchangeable with the bracelet on or compatible with the radio-control version of the Nighthawk watch because Citizen deliberately alters the pin hole placement on the watch lugs of their different series of Eco-Drive watches so that watch fans cannot simply substitute one bracelet that is more appealing with a less appealing bracelet on their Eco-Drive watches. Having said that, the black ion-plated, stainless steel bracelet on a Citizen Nighthawk BJ7005-59E watch is interchangeable with the black ion-plated, stainless steel bracelet found on the Citizen Nighthawk BJ7019-62E watch because those 2 Nighthawk watches utilise the exact same bracelet and both of those versions of the Nighthawk watch have the exact same pinhole placement on the watch lugs. Also, Citizen Skyhawk bracelets are not compatible with (interchangeable with Citizen Nighthawk bracelets) Citizen Nighthawk watches and vice-versa.
