The quick answer.
Citizen Promaster Skyhawk A-T 35th Anniversary is a 45.7 mm pilot / ana-digi watch at $638.01 after code SEBASTIANBASSOL (before code $708.90). We recommend it for a buyer who wants a large radio-controlled ana-digi watch and values the black-and-rose 35th-anniversary design enough to pay more than for a standard Skyhawk.
Why it belongs on the shortlist.
Citizen limits this edition to 5,600 pieces worldwide and pairs the black dial with rose-gold-tone details and an anniversary-marked back. The U680 Eco-Drive radio-controlled movement adds practical tools for travel and timing without a routine battery replacement. That combination, rather than a generic specification count, is the case for spending more on this reference.
The anniversary design has a clear reason to exist.
The black dial, rose-gold-tone details and matching bracelet accents give this reference a warmer character than the blue-and-yellow Blue Angels Skyhawk. Citizen’s official Promaster anniversary page states a worldwide limit of 5,600 pieces, and the back marks the collection’s 35th anniversary. We would choose this edition for that specific look and provenance, not because the word “limited” guarantees collectability or future value.
A complicated display with genuinely useful travel tools.
Citizen’s U680 is a light-powered, radio-controlled quartz movement. The feature set includes time synchronization in 43 cities, world time, a second time zone, a 1/100-second chronograph, perpetual calendar, alarms, countdown timer, UTC display and a backlight. We would use the functions that fit regular travel or timing needs; the dense dial is part of the exchange, not a free upgrade over a simple three-hand watch.
Judge the whole case before choosing the big display.
Citizen lists a 45.7 mm case, 13.8 mm thickness, 22 mm lug width, sapphire crystal and WR200. Lug-to-lug is not published in the official specification we checked, so use the case width as a starting point rather than a complete fit answer. The retailer lists a one-year warranty and conditional 30-day returns; confirm in writing whether the manufacturer warranty also applies to this purchase.
The code narrows the price gap, but does not erase it.
Watches of America listed this exact JY8146-54E at $708.90 and showed a 1–3 business-day shipping estimate. Our cart test accepted SEBASTIANBASSOL and reduced the item to $638.01, saving $70.89 before shipping and taxes. The same retailer listed the Blue Angels JY8078-52L at $565.90 without an exact-item code test. We would pay extra for the 35th-anniversary black-and-rose edition; if the look does not matter, choose the lower-priced Skyhawk or the already code-tested NY0086-16L diver for a different, simpler brief.

Before you choose
The 45.7 mm case and 13.8 mm thickness make it a large, information-dense watch. Citizen does not publish lug-to-lug in the official specification we checked. If the anniversary styling is secondary, Watches of America also lists the Blue Angels JY8078-52L at $565.90 with the same U680 platform; its code eligibility has not been tested.
Who it suits.
A buyer who wants a large radio-controlled ana-digi watch and values the black-and-rose 35th-anniversary design enough to pay more than for a standard Skyhawk.
When to choose something else.
Choose a smaller or simpler watch if you want a clean dial, a compact fit or an everyday price below the Skyhawk range.
Warranty, returns and ownership.
Watches of America listed a one-year retailer warranty and a conditional 30-day return window; its terms may include a restocking fee. Citizen’s product page lists a five-year limited warranty for direct purchases, but the retailer listing does not establish that the same warranty applies here. Confirm the written warranty coverage, return conditions and final delivered price before ordering.
