Star Wars x Fossil Celebrates 40th Anniversary of Return of the Jedi

To celebrate 40th anniversary of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Fossil has released a new wave of merchandise, which includes watches, bracelets, and more, with items inspired by Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and the Millennium Falcon.

The second installment of the Star Wars x Fossil launches with four limited-edition timepieces. Each individually numbered watch is packaged in a collector’s box — showcasing cinematic sound effects, comic-book-style-inspired illustrations, and a replica movie ticket pin — and features quintessential Imperial details, including:

• The Darth Vader Watch ($370): The galaxy’s most-feared Sith Lord takes his place by your side in this watch featuring an ultra-precise Japanese automatic movement. With a red Lightsaber minute hand and a textured dial and H-link bracelet inspired by Vader’s distinctive armor, you’re going to want to wear this all the time. We have foreseen it.

• The Stormtrooper Watch ($370): Grab a blaster and take aim — with a precision Japanese automatic movement, a blaster bolt for a minute hand, and a white, resin-coated stainless steel case and bracelet (reminiscent of the stormtroopers’ pristine armor), you can’t miss.

• The TIE Fighter Watch ($300): Set your sights and lock on to this watch inspired by the Empire’s fighter ships. A TIE fighter window sits over the crystal with lume X-wings in the targeting grid. Don’t get distracted by all the hidden details; stay on the leader.

• The Boba Fett Watch ($370): Fearless and inventive, this timepiece takes its cues from the utilitarian style and unmatched craftsmanship of Mandalorian armor, featuring a Japanese automatic movement, a distressed case and strap (recalling Boba Fett’s beskar suit), and dimensional character-inspired details.

Expert craftsmanship meets Sith style with the special-edition Darth Vader backpack ($425), featuring a pattern of rich leather and suede mimicking Vader’s iconic armor. Special details include Death Star-inspired printed interior lining, Lightsaber-red contrast stitching, Empire symbol zipper pulls, and plenty of room for tech. Pair the backpack with keyfobs inspired by C-3PO, R2-D2, and the Millennium Falcon($45-$50). Further maintain order across the galaxy with a 2-in-1 wallet ($100) — featuring Darth Vader on the bifold and Luke Skywalker on the slide-out card case, depicting the movie’s ultimate fight scene — or an assortment of character-inspired card cases ($60).

Fans can also show their allegiance to the Empire with a special-edition jewelry collection inspired by Darth Vader and stormtroopers, including two beaded bracelets ($60) and an ID plaque necklace ($95). The shield-shaped ID plaque necklace features one plaque with Darth Vader and a second plaque with a dark sandstone inlay that is reminiscent of what you’re fighting for: the very galaxy itself.
