Duel For The Best $200 Aviation Watch - Citizen Nighthawk Vs Seiko SNA411 + SARW025 Unboxing

Күн бұрын

Today a long over due duel is finally held. The Citizen Skyhawk Eco-Drive verses the Seiko Flightmaster SNA411 aka the "Flighty". There is no doubt that at the entry level these two Japanese aviation watches are at the top of the list for around $200, but which one is king? There is only one crown.
Not only do we settle the score but I also unbox a stunning 2016 release from Seiko. The Presage SARW025 pays faithful tribute to the very first Seiko wristwatch from 1913, the iconic Laurel and I give my first impressions. Full review coming soon, so stay tuned!

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,

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.

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.

TGV, I am not really into watches very much, but for some reason I hang on your every video lol. I do like how you are as enthusiastic about $50 watches as $5,000 watches. I especially enjoy your ramblings about non-watch things. Thanks for educating/entertaining me for hours.

Really appreciate the inner rotating bezel of the nighthawk. It also has a slight chamfer to it, that works well transitioning to the face of the watch. The Citizen appears less busy, and a little better thought out, even evident with the faces in the dark.

Great thoughtful comparison! It’s the Citizen for me in readability alone. The Seiko for me personally is too busy, cluttered and fiddley. Having a modest variety of Seiko automatics as well as assorted quartz and hand wounds I must say my current lone Citizen Eco Drive is really growing on me. I’ll be adding a Nighthawk next.

Hello, TGV! Excellent duel as always! I really like those intro (w/ beautiful shots and good scores (Predator is AMAZING!)). I was wearing my Nighthawk today @ work and, as always, this is the one that gets lots of compliments, even from the non-watch fans. I reallt was hoping tht the duel would finish with a draw, but I accept the result. Both are very unique, a nice addition to any collection and for this price range, almost unbeatable. P.S.: In terms of quality the Citizen's bracelet is superb. You didn't see it in person (because this came in a strap), but it is very well built and the clasp, finishing and fit are so good. Cheers from Rio, Brazil, my friend.

@@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. I am currently checking its' timekeeping accuracy again just verify to my first calculation.

@@michaelbarlow6610 my Nighthawk is accurate to +0.1 seconds per day. I measured it from the 13 Mar to 30th Apr '21 and it gained 1.7 seconds in total. These eco-drive movements have a reputation for being extremely accurate.

@michaelbarlow6610 2 жыл бұрын

@@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 love that you appreciate quality and heritage at every price point. Doesn't hurt that your tastes are similar to mine. Keep up the great work!

Hi TGV, I do enjoy your videos and these got me into appreciating watches and in starting a collection since last year. I usually save up and buy a used watch in mint condition. 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.

Thanks for another great comparison TGV, I enjoyed this! Some food for thought: I am trying out a modification of the categories you use, particularly in different order, to compare some watches: *1: Movement* (or Caliber or Module) - self explanatory and stands alone. *2-4: Design, Quality, Style* - more intrinsic characteristics related to the conception of the watch. *5-7: Performance, Versatility, Durability* - more related function & everyday use. *8: Value* - stands alone and affected by all above. *9-10: Brand, X-Factor* - the special "intangibles". I thought this may be a more logical ordering of the categories - I guess I shall see how it goes! :)

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.

Anyway thanks for the informative, very enjoyable uploads.. Chris UK

Thank you Chris, You can get a ton of great watches for that money, not to mention vintage wise. The Hammy is a wonderful place to start and a classic IMO, happy hunting. Best regards, TGV

Fantastic channel, love what you do, keep up the good work! For me the Citizen just pips the post as I like the Legibility, particularly with the loom and mostly because the large 12 and 6 making it easier to work the time in the dark when you are half asleep. Both great watches however, there are many watches that I now want inspired from your channel. P.s I own a cheapo Citizen Eco drive (S006597) to cost me 60 quid 4 years ago, I never take it off, swimming, cycling, work it has never missed a beat, touch wood.

Wow. That's another one I found myself scoring essentially the same. I just scored the seiko with a 2pt advantage in x factor. I think the external bezel aesthetically is such a plus on the seiko, despite the engineering of the internal bezel on the citizen

Ahhhh... Looks like a close one... But... It's the Citizen that worked for me I guess. 😁 Thanks for great video man. Good stuff. 😊 👍🤗

I own both watches and the nighthawk is the only Citizen in my collection. IMO the Citizen is a better timepiece love how the slide rule functions and it's dial is so much easier to read especially when you hit middle age the eyes aren't the same. Thanks for the great review.

Love this channel more and more. Especially with an intro that features audio from the Predator. Do you have a video that showcases watches 40mm and under for us small wristed chaps?

Took the plunge into entry level.....look at loads of very nice pieces but i just wanted an understated quality starter...so ended up with the Hamilton Khaki 42mm auto eta......loving it!!!....really bright and clear lovely second hand sweep....nice leather strap (though a bit on the stiff side lol)....only one problem ...and its a really big problem....I am already lusting after something else to add to my collection!!..... The retailer had on display a vast collection from Hamilton , Omega .. the Rolex stuff (Though for some reason Rolex does not do it for me) Anyway i can see why this really so compelling.... Cheers Chris.
