Wristwatch brand Citizen has a thing for Star Wars. More accurately, it’s a partnership. Or a deal, one that Disney hopefully won’t change any further. The newest creation stemming from this deal is the limited-edition Attesa Death Star II. You can guess what iconic Star Wars object is featured on the wristwatch’s face.

You can look at the device all you like, but purchasing one might be difficult. They each cost R25,300 ($1,500) but will be limited to just 1,500 units globally. That’ll make them as tough to locate as a certain exhaust port, even if you’re a Jedi.
You don’t strictly need the Death Star version of this watch. The company makes several Attesa models, some with the same H874 Eco-Drive movement found here. The Darth Watch comes in a black 41.5mm titanium chassis, with multiple complications on the face. The lunar complication, which shows the moon’s phases, features the iconic orbiting weapon from George Lucas’ films. After all… that’s no moon.
Also part of the Citizen Attesa Death Star II’s design is an engraved backplate. This might be the most detailed part of the watch, showing another version of the Death Star itself. It also includes the watch’s serial number and global time zone differences around its circumference.
Covering the watch’s face is reflection-resistant Sapphire crystal, while the device has a WR100 rating. In standard terms, you’ll need to sink it about 100 metres to drown it. You won’t do that, of course. You’ll be in space, piloting a T-65B X-wing starfighter.
