Story:
The Citizen Promaster series was launched as a tribute to professionals and enthusiasts who live for performance and precision. The Flyback Chronograph variant, in particular, was engineered for pilots and sports adventurers — those who required quick-reset timing capabilities and legibility in any condition.
The term “Flyback” originates from aviation, describing a chronograph function that allows the timer to reset and restart with a single press — a vital feature for measuring consecutive flight maneuvers or race intervals without losing precious seconds.
This model, with its TAP LIGHT innovation and hybrid analog-digital display, became a hallmark of 1990s Citizen technology. It represented the brand’s commitment to making professional tools accessible to everyday explorers — reliable, functional, and timelessly cool.
Today, the Promaster Flyback stands as a true icon of Citizen’s design evolution, bridging the gap between vintage charm and modern functionality — a perfect embodiment of the brand’s motto: “Better Starts Now.”
