For Star Wars fans and watch enthusiasts, a new timepiece has entered the galaxy. Citizen has officially launched the Citizen Star Wars Boba Fett AW1418-06W in the United States, a bold timepiece that channels the iconic armor and enduring mystique of the galaxy’s most famous bounty hunter.
This isn't just another licensed product; it's a wearable tribute packed with details that will thrill any Mandalorian devotee. The design directly mirrors Boba Fett’s legendary helmet, making a striking statement on the wrist.
A Dial Designed in the Dunes of Tatooine
The first thing you’ll notice is the predominantly green dial, instantly evocative of Fett’s Mandalorian armor. At its center is a raised circular motif that replicates the critical detail from the center of his helmet. Surrounding the dial is a vibrant red ring housing the indices, a perfect match for the helmet’s distinctive rangefinder. This green-and-red color scheme is unmistakably Boba Fett.
Housed in a 44mm brushed stainless steel case, the watch has a substantial, tool-like presence worthy of a galactic mercenary. But the true magic is in the Easter eggs:
- At the 12 o’clock position, the mythosaur skull—the iconic symbol of Mandalore—stands guard.
- On the engraved case back, you’ll find a detailed depiction of Fett’s iconic ship, the Slave I, ready to make the jump to hyperspace.
Powered by Light, Built for Adventure
True to Citizen’s innovative core, the watch is powered by their renowned Eco-Drive technology. The J810 movement inside converts any light source—sunlight or indoor—into lasting power, meaning you’ll never need to replace a battery. It’s a fitting feature for a character who thrives in the harsh light of twin suns.
Functionally, it offers three hands and a date window for daily wear. It’s also built tough, with a mineral crystal protecting the face and a stellar 200-meter water resistance rating. Completing the tactical look is an olive green Cordura nylon strap with black accent stitching, offering durability and comfort.
Where to Find It (And What Fans Are Saying)
The initial release is currently exclusive to the U.S. market. You can explore the official specifications and purchase the Boba Fett AW1418-06W directly from Citizen's online store for $395.
As with any highly anticipated release, the watch community is already abuzz. For a real-time look at unfiltered fan reactions, from wrist shots to detailed impressions, the dedicated thread on r/CitizenWatches is a fantastic resource. It’s clear this model has captured the imagination of collectors and Star Wars fans alike.
Whether this precise model will see a wider release in markets like Europe or Asia remains unclear at this time. For now, it represents a coveted piece for U.S. collectors—a functional, light-powered tool watch that proudly displays its galactic bounty hunting heritage on its sleeve, or rather, on its dial.
