Citizen’s new $1,500 Mandalorian watch is a Beskar-inspired Attesa with radio sync

Citizen has just launched the Attesa x Mandalorian Beskar, a new limited-edition watch based on the popular Star Wars franchise. The watch is inspired by Beskar, the near-indestructible metal from The Mandalorian, found exclusively on the remote planet of Mandalore and used to forge the Mandalorian’s iconic armor.

Priced at $1,500, the new Attessa (AT8385-55E) chronograph aims to replicate the strength of Beskar using Citizen’s proprietary Super Titanium, which is used to craft the 42mm silver-tone case and triple-link bracelet and is said to be 40% lighter and five times harder than stainless steel. 

The overall design appears relatively restrained. The textured black dial features three sub-dials and silver applied indices, with most of the Mandalorian references tucked into the details. There’s a mythosaur emblem engraved on the crown, while the case back is etched with the text “The Mandalorian” alongside his iconic helmet.

Under the anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the black dial is packed with the impressive tech you would expect from the premium Attesa lineup, including a perpetual calendar, a one-twentieth-second chronograph that tracks up to 60 minutes, a power reserve indicator, and 12/24-hour readouts. Concentric subdials add depth and function, while the city-coded world time bezel frames the dial with a technical edge. 

On the inside, the watch packs the H800 Eco-Drive movement, which pulls energy from any ambient light source to keep the internal battery topped up. Being part of the Attesa series, it also offers multi-band atomic timekeeping capabilities, meaning the watch can automatically sync with radio towers to adjust the time across 26 time zones for superior accuracy.
