Citizen unveils a new monochrome Nighthawk chronograph with tachymeter bezel

Hot on the heels of the limited-edition Attesa with recrystallized titanium, Citizen is dropping another stealthy monochrome watch in the form of the Citizen Nighthawk CA0890-54H. So far, the watch has only appeared on Citizen Canada's website, though it will most likely make its way to other markets, including the US, UK, and Japan, in the near future.

The new Citizen Nighthawk CA0890-54H chronograph features a monochromatic gray dial housed in a silver-tone stainless steel case. It also comes equipped with a prominent gray 60-minute rotating bezel and a tachymeter scale printed on the outer rim of the dial, allowing you to calculate a vehicle's average speed based on time traveled over a known distance.

In line with the Nighthawk’s cockpit-inspired aesthetics, the watch packs three subdials; the one at 12 o’clock shows elapsed chronograph minutes, the one at 9 o’clock displays the 24-hour clock, and the 6 o’clock register is for the running seconds. A handy date display sits neatly at 3 o'clock while large applied Arabic numerals and luminous hands, together with the monochrome color scheme, lend the watch an instrument-like appearance.

The watch measures 42mm across, paired with a stainless steel bracelet that fastens via a fold-over clasp with push-button release. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, while the watch itself is rated for 100 meters of water resistance, making it suitable for swimming and recreational water activities.

Under the hood, the Nighthawk CA0890-54H is powered by Citizen’s in-house Eco-Drive B612 movement, which keeps the watch ticking using energy derived from both natural and artificial light sources, and eliminates the need for battery replacements.

The Citizen Nighthawk CA0890-54H is priced at CA$775 and is currently available in Canada. Availability and pricing for other regions have yet to be announced.
