You are probably looking at the Skyhawk AT 4th gen successor, the Promaster Sky model #PMV65-2271 in full Ti + Duratect. Note the "Nighthawk" like case, slide rule bezel under the crystal and the updated U680 Radio controlled ana-digi module, with China (BPC call signal) atomic sync and 3.5 year power reserve (Up from 2.5 year in the outgoing U600 module). This one retails for around USD $800 from the Japanese 3 amigos.
This is the leather strap version, model #PMV65-2272:
Both of these Promaster Sky watches were released at the end of April 2010.

These are cool and everything, but I think I like the "old" (a.k.a. current) Skyhawk much better. The bezel seems more aesthetically pleasing on that one, and at least in these pics this bracelet looks a little too refined for this type of watch. Just my opinions. I will say, I am excited to see what else is coming to the U.S.!
