A Citizen JY8078-52L with a chronograph function and blue dial

Overview

In the Promaster range, the JY8078-52L is an Eco-Drive men's watch: it draws its energy from light and has no battery to replace. From the 45.4 mm case to the bracelet, everything is made of stainless steel. A radio receiver sets the watch to the official time. On the blue dial, the time is indicated by Arabic numerals and indices. The Promaster range includes the brand's tool watches. This model is covered by a 2-year warranty.

Case

Made of stainless steel, the case sits on the wrist with a 45.4 mm diameter and 14.4 mm height. A sapphire crystal protects the dial; a fixed bezel secures the strap. With a water resistance of 200 m (20 ATM), the watch is suitable for swimming and snorkeling, not scuba diving.

Movement

Inside the case, the U680-08A caliber runs on light energy: the solar cell powers a rechargeable battery that takes over in the dark. In terms of practicality, it features a 24-hour display, an alarm, a backlit dial, a chronograph, and shock detection. A full charge provides approximately 3.5 years of operation without any light. To complement the time, the dial displays the full date digitally. In use, it displays the time in numerous time zones thanks to the world time function and resists magnetic fields thanks to its anti-magnetic construction.

Bracelet

Citizen has fitted a silver-tone stainless steel bracelet to this case, with a 22 mm lug width. The bracelet measures 220 mm in length and the entire watch weighs 189 g.

Supplied with: Storage box, presentation pad, user manual.
