Citizen have revealed the Star Wars Tsuno Chrono Collection of four watches coming this Autumn with designs inspired by R2-D2, C-3PO, Darth Maul and Darth Vader, all based on the 1972 Citizen Chronograph Challenge Timer, the brand’s first chronograph family.
Tsono is a reference to the pushers, which appear at the top of the case on either side of a crown at 12 o’clock looking like a pair of horns.
Each of the quartz-based watches has the Star Wars logo and an illustration of each character engraved on the back of their 38mm cases and dial designs that pick up features of the characters they represent.
Star Wars Citizen Tsuno collection
R2-D2 – £249
The dial has a raised design echoing the panels on R2-D2’s body, and the white dial is accented with R2-D2’s distinctive blue. The sub-dial at the 6 o’clock position also has a miniature R2-D2.
C-3PO – £279
The dial features C-3PO’s gold colour and dual layered structure provides an almost three-dimensional version of C-3PO’s face. The sub-dial “eyes” feature a lume that glows in the dark.
DARTH MAUL – £279
The design incorporates the distinctive red and black of Darth Maul’s face and his yellow horns on the dial, push buttons, and crown. The watch evokes the powerful and dangerous nature of Darth Maul with a colourful, eye-catching design.
DARTH VADER – £279
The design evokes different aspects of Darth Vader’s story – the colours of the chronograph hands echo Darth Vader’s transformation from Jedi™ to Sith™, and the sub-dials feature design elements from his life-support system.
