When it comes to watches, Citizen has always been one of those stalwart brands that was willing to venture out of their traditional wheelhouse for a good collaboration timepiece, but no so far that the watch wouldn’t feel like something they created. This is most certainly not the case when it comes to their new Star Wars watches with the Rebel Pilot and Trench Run you see here. Based on the classic 1980s watch silhouette that combined both analog and digital features–and was very much a Casio / Timex focal point at the time–these two distinct watches combine nostalgia, fandom and modern technology for the better. Whether you’re a fan of the dark side with it’s black stainless and Tie Fighter cockpit detailing, or the Rebel Alliance option that’s pure stainless with appropriate logos / graphics, if you’re a fan of Star Wars and fun watches on any level, you’ll find something to love about either (or both) of these dual-time, subdial-filled and retro-styled timepieces.
