Some Citizen goodies for your Christmas stockings from the latest Christmas Sale 2019 from StarBuy. As an added sweetener, any Citizen watch purchased until 31 December 2019 allows you to enter a competition for a trip to Japan.
The Nighthawk BJ700X series has recently been discontinued from production and is not readily available in Australia from Citizen dealers. I have only recently added a BJ7000-52E to my own collection from eBay US. The Blue Angels model has a rather flash looking blue dial with yellow details, PVD bezel edge and branded caseback compared to the "plainer" versions. Even though it looks quite busy in photos, it's easy to read the time with a quick glance, and plenty of other details to glean if you care to use the slide rule and GMT function. It also has a very nice bracelet with a milled clasp. 200m water resistance & a Citizen Eco-drive movement are the icing on the cake. A great watch for the money, a no-brainer for $279.

Next up is the CB5000-50L, another Promaster Eco-Drive Aviator, but with a Radio Control feature (which is redundant in ANZ), but perhaps suited to the international traveller. This has full chrono functionality, 200m water resistance, perpetual calendar, world time, slide rule and alarm functions. The list goes on. It's also quite sizeable at around 46mm. Stupendously priced at $399.

Citizen CA0718-13E Promaster Chrono Diver - Orange Bezel on Rubber Strap - $279
I'm in Brisbane and have a Citizen Promaster with the radio control feature and it works probably 50% of the time.
