This newer Eco-Drive model arrived in the US in January 2026, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Citizen-launches-new-Promaster-Land-GMT-watch-with-Eco-Drive-and-sapphire-crystal.1208463.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BJ7150-50W<\/a> featuring a burgundy dial.<br \/>&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Now, Citizen has unveiled the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citizen.com.hk\/html\/en\/products\/promaster\/land\/bj7155-05x.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external-link-new-window\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BJ7155-05X<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citizen.com.hk\/html\/en\/products\/promaster\/land\/bj7150-09l.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external-link-new-window\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BJ7150-09L<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citizen.com.hk\/html\/en\/products\/promaster\/land\/bj7150-50e.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external-link-new-window\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BJ7150-50E<\/a> watches at its online store in Hong Kong. Each uses a light-powered B878 calibre, which has a maximum run time of nine months. The watches have four analog hands, three for the hour, minute and second in your first chosen time zone, and a GMT hand marks the hour in another time zone. There is also a basic date display in the 3 o\u2019clock position, and a fixed 24-hour bezel.<br \/>&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">All variants of the Citizen Promaster GMT BJ715 use sapphire glass and have a stainless steel casing. The product pages on the Hong Kong website list the case as 38.6 mm (~1.52 inches) wide and 13.4 mm (~0.53 inches) thick; this is different to the Citizen USA page for the BJ7150-50W, which is said to be 39.5mm (~1.56 inches) in diameter.<br \/>&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">The Citizen BJ7155-05X is a green watch with an orange GMT hand and a khaki nylon strap, while BJ7155-05Y is a blue watch with a yellow accent hand and a matching blue nylon strap. The BJ7150-50E has a red second hour hand set against a black dial, and the burgundy BJ7150-50W has an orange GMT hand. Both of these watches have silver colored metal straps. All four have textured dials with white indexes.<br \/>&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">In Hong Kong, the Citizen BJ7155-05X and BJ7150-09L watches retail for HK$3,980 (~$510) each, while the BJ7150-50E and BJ7150-50W are more expensive at HK$4,280 (~$548) each. Whether or when these three new variants could be officially released in North America or Europe remains to be seen. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three new Citizen Promaster GMT watches have been launched in Hong Kong.
