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 Seiko and Citizen. However when it comes to a solid watch with a jumping local hour hand 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.
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 no 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.
Additionally my watch is for sale for $200 with free shipping in the (continental) US. The watch is in perfect working condition because its pretty much brand new having worn the watch a handful of time at home. So shoot me an email thewatchidiot@gmail.com and please include your zip code so that I can get myself a shipping quote!
