Could this well be the upcoming 4th generation Citizen Skyhawk AT? ??? ?

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.!

Star Wars is big in Japan, so you may be correct about the true design inspiration behind these.... )

There is something "Imperial" about these two models: ;D

This is sharp....hope they keep the overall design on the USA models.

I've always liked the ATD53-2753/2861/2981 and siblings

New JDM Promaster Radio Controlled divers, but none will sync outside of Japan :-[

This model looks nice. Additional RC features with no loss of diver attributes.

Holy smokes. Citizen have really stepped up to the plate - every watch on the first page is drool-worthy. Not one I wouldn't be pleased to see on my wrist. The first three are particularly extraordinary.

US$8k+ for the 18k is pushing it, however... :-[
