Citizen's new Star Wars watch replaces the Moon with the Death Star, limited to 1,500 units

Citizen has launched a new limited-edition Star Wars watch. Called the Attesa Death Star Phase Model (BY1004-50E), it replaces the traditional Moon illustration in its moonphase display with the Galactic Empire's infamous space station. Production is limited to just 1,500 units worldwide.

The watch features an all-black design, with a 41.5 mm Super Titanium case and matching bracelet treated with a black DLC coating. Its dial houses a moonphase complication at the six o'clock position, where the Death Star takes centre stage. Other design elements are relatively more subtle. 

Under the hood is Citizen's tried-and-tested H874 Eco-Drive movement, which also powers the Attesa Ever Since Limited Edition announced last month. It incorporates the company's Luna Program technology, which automatically calculates and adjusts the moonphase display using calendar information. Users can also switch between Northern and Southern Hemisphere representations.

Additional features include radio-controlled time synchronisation, a perpetual calendar, world time, and a power reserve indicator. The movement can operate for up to 2.5 years on a full charge with power-saving mode enabled. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, and the watch is rated to 100 meters of water resistance. The watch measures 10.8 mm thick.

This isn't Citizen's first collaboration with the Star Wars franchise. Earlier this year, the Japanese watchmaker introduced the Imperial Battle AW1857-57W, which also featured the Death Star, alongside a considerably more expensive Mandalorian-themed Attesa.

According to a Japanese retailer, the new Death Star Phase Model launched in Japan on November 5 for ¥162,800 ($1,019). It has also appeared on Citizen's US website, with a listed retail price of $1,500.
