Citizen has officially launched its limited-edition Attesa Death Star II watch in the US. It is available now through the company’s US website for $1,500. The timepiece combines premium materials with official Star Wars branding, with production limited to just 400 units worldwide.

Design Details

The hardware is built around a 41.5mm case and a matching bracelet, both constructed from Citizen’s proprietary Super Titanium. To increase durability and scratch resistance, this base material is treated with a gray Duratect Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating.

According to Citizen, this specific material combination results in a chassis that is 40% lighter and five times harder than standard stainless steel. The watch is secured with a fold-over clasp featuring push buttons, and the dial is protected by an impact-resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal.

Visually, the black dial incorporates a 3D inkjet-printed graphic of the second Death Star mid-construction. The most interesting custom design element is the watch’s lunar phase complication. Instead of a traditional moon graphic, the sub-dial displays a rotating Death Star to track the lunar cycle. This rotation is mathematically calculated and synchronized via the watch’s radio wave reception capabilities.

Internally, the Attesa Death Star II (model BY1004-50E) is powered by Citizen’s H874 Eco-Drive movement. This solar-powered caliber continuously charges from any natural or artificial light source, eliminating the need for traditional battery replacements.

It also features multi-band atomic timekeeping, which uses standard radio signals to automatically correct the time across 26 time zones. The watch additionally includes a perpetual calendar, day-date display, and power reserve indicator.

The watch is rated for 100 meters (10 Bar) of water resistance, which is sufficient for standard swimming and snorkeling.

In related news, Citizen has recently launched Promaster Dive Uncharted Waters watches with Eco-Drive and sapphire crystal, alongside a limited-edition Disney watch featuring Mickey Mouse floating over New York City.
