The Citizen Star Wars Tsuno Chrono Collection is an upcoming line of timepieces created in collaboration between the timepiece brand and the science fiction franchise itself. The watch collection consists of four 38mm bullhead chronographs styled in the likeness of Darth Vader, Darth Maul, R2-D2 and C-3PO. Several of the timepieces feature an anthropomorphic design that sees the dials acting as eyes for its respective character, which is further reinforced with strategically colored finishes.
The Citizen Star Wars Tsuno Chrono Collection is expected to be available starting in autumn at participating Citizen retailers with price points ranging from £249 to £279, depending on the style. The timepieces are perfect for avid fans seeking out a more mature way to incorporate their fandom into their everyday style.
