If you’re a watch person and you’re a Star Wars lover, Citizen Watch has a rare gift for you. In celebration of “May the Fourth” (Star Wars Day), Citizen will create its first-ever Disney collab in its premium ATTESA line. That means that you’ll get all the incredibly nerdery of a Star Wars watch mixed with all the high-end luxury of an ATTESA watch. But you’ll really have to use the Force if you want to get your wrist into this watch—the limited edition ATTESA Beskar watch will only release 100 pieces worldwide. That makes it not only a first-of-its-kind watch, but a SUPER rare creation. Don’t worry, though, Citizen has you covered if you want a more widely available timepiece that celebrates The Mandalorian. Let’s see what Citizen Watch has in store for you this Star Wars Day.
Beskar, also known as Mandalorian iron or Mandalorian steel, is an incredibly rare metal in the Star Wars universe. It can be found only on Mandalorian worlds. So it makes sense that Citizen Watch would be inspired by Beskar to create its first-ever nerdy ATTESA watch. I mean, Beskar can repel even lightsaber strikes. That’s serious business.
Citizen shares of its new watch, “Where the strength of the Mandalorian meets Citizen’s ATTESA premium line, this high-performance chronograph is forged from lightweight, scratch-resistant Super Titanium™ – a nod to Beskar, the legendary metal used to craft Mandalorian armor. Advanced features include Atomic Timekeeping, world time across 26 time zones, a perpetual calendar, and a power reserve display. Subtle design details like the mythosaur emblem on the crown and the Mandalorian helmet etched on the case back underscore its collectible appeal. Finished with Mandalorian-themed packaging, the release is limited to just 100 pieces worldwide.”
We love the nods to Beskar’s wavy patterns in ingot form on the watch, as well. And the tiny Mythosaur emblem is just perfect. That’s the kind of attention to detail we expect from Citizen Watch. Having seen a preview of the watch, we can also exclusively share the nice heft of this creation, and the truly sleek design. Not to mention, all the Star Wars nuances are both really ornate and really subtle in the best ways. Our favorite part of any Citizen Watch is the incredible etchings on the back, and this watch is no different.
Of course, this watch will set you back as much as a Beskar helmet, it costs $1,500. And as we mentioned, with only 100 pieces created, it’s pretty dang rare.
But, of course, Citizen Watch wants all Star Wars fans to celebrate in style ahead of The Mandalorian & Grogu, which debuts on May 22. Not just 100. Even you can’t snag the limited-addition ATTESA Beskar watch, fear not. Citizen has made available a new timepiece inspired by The Mandalorian that all can own.
Here’s what Citizen Watch has to share about this one, “Inspired by The Mandalorian, this chronograph features a black dial, gold-tone bezel, and dark brown leather strap. Sub-dials highlight key elements from the series, including the Mudhorn, Mandalorian helmet, and Grogu, bringing subtle storytelling to an everyday wearable design.” This Star Wars watch will cost $450. And really, who can resist a glow-in-the-dark element?
If you’re looking to snag either one of these watches, the Star Wars ATTESA Limited-Edition will be available beginning 4/27, and The Mandalorian will be available on 5/18, ahead of the film release, both available on Citizenwatch.com.
