Star Wars Favorites
There are also two new watches capturing two central characters in a new way:
Luke Skywalker
Inspired by the daring adventures of the humble farm boy from Tatooine, the fight-ready watch is driven by Citizen’s proprietary Eco-Drive technology to provide light-powered vitality without ever needing a battery.
A silver-tone stainless steel case with a blue aluminum bezel serves as the canvas for the design, complemented by blue and green accented chronograph pushers representing the colors of Skywalker’s lightsabers. On the dial, a sectored blue style features an inner motif of the symbol of the Rebel Alliance, while an image of Skywalker’s X-wing and a scene of his iconic struggle with Darth Vader mark the top and bottom sub-dials.
The watch is presented on a brown leather strap, giving a soft detail to an otherwise robust design and providing an elegant touch to the bold chronograph.
Cost: $395
Darth Vader
The 44mm chronograph is bold in a black IP case, channeling the dark dominance of the Sith Lord with red detailing throughout and a unique case back reading, “Come to the Dark Side.”
The chronograph functionality is able to measure ⅕ second up to 60 minutes. An illustration of Darth Vader’s helmet, a TIE fighter, and details from a starfighter’s screen decorate the display’s sub-dials, while along the periphery of the dial luminous crimson hour markers harken to the Sith’s iconic red lightsaber.
The watch is sustainably powered by Citizen’s proprietary Eco-Drive technology, so it’ll never need a battery.
Cost: $395
