New Citizen Skyhawks

Citizen recently introduced a couple of impressive looking new additions to the enormously popular Skyhawk collection. Two new models, dubbed "Black Eagle Skyhawk", incorporate all of the great features that define the Citizen Skyhawk collection including dual analog/digital display, rotating slide rule bezel, three world time alarms, time and calendar in 22 separate time zones, a chronograph, a countdown timer and of course Citizen's Eco Drive technology, which to the uninitiated means you never need to change a battery -- they're solar powered! Model JR3155-03E comes equipped with a tough polyurethane strap and model JR3155-54E has a black PVD plated link bracelet.

New Offerings from Swiss Army Watches


As we've come to expect each Spring, Swiss Army Watches has added a number of impressive new watches to its lineup including new diamond watches for ladies, some ladies' automatics, and additions to the Swiss Army Ambassador, Dive Master, Officer's 1884, Maverick II, and Alliance watch collections.

Among Swiss Army's new releases are two automatic watches for women to bolster its very popular Ambassador collection. Swiss Army models 241075 and 241076 are both very traditionally designed Swiss watches in a smaller case size for ladies. Each watch features a fine Swiss ETA self-winding movement with an exhibition caseback, jubilee bracelet and a sapphire crystal.

Following the success of the diamond watches for women Swiss Army released last year, they have added several pleasing new models with diamonds this year to both the Swiss Army Alliance and Swiss Army Officer's 1884 collections. Mother-of-Pearl dials, sapphire crystals and diamond encircled bezels characterize both Swiss Army model 24831 and model 241032.
