Citizen & the Blue Angels – A History of Precision
The Blue Angels are the U.S. Navy’s flight demonstration squadron, established in 1946 and now flying their iconic blue and yellow F/A‑18E/F Super Hornets. Their breathtaking precision and aerial acrobatics have made them a cultural phenomenon, drawing millions of spectators every year.
Citizen has collaborated with the Blue Angels for over 25 years, first launching the Navihawk in 1998 as a tribute collection. This partnership later evolved into the Skyhawk series – designed to meet the high demands of this elite flight team.
