Hi All; I have has a Citizen as well and it has been bullet proof skiing, cycling and such well over five years. I did a quick search because when I purchased it was really pricey but a quick search and Zales has what appears the exact model:
Analog Citizen Eco-Drive® Skyhawk Atomic Titanium Solar 200M Flight Chronograph Watch (Model: JY0010-50E) $233 shipped. I know that is a bit more expensive but it is amazing.

The solar powered versions have gotten a bit better over the years. They nave never had a “hand slip” problem that I have noticed.
