CITIZEN Introduces a Series of Tsuno Models Inspired by the Star Wars™ Galaxy
Known for their unique retro designs, the four Star Wars™ inspired CITIZEN Tsuno models will be released Fall 2022.
Star Wars x CITIZEN Tsuno Collection
Four models, available Fall 2022
May 4, 2022 – CITIZEN announces the upcoming release of four timepieces harnessing the power of Star Wars™ and portraying iconic heroes and villains from the Star Wars galaxy. Representative of a historic CITIZEN timepiece design, the Star Wars x CITIZEN Tsuno collection will appeal to the Star Wars afficionado and CITIZEN fans alike, becoming not just a wearable timepiece but a collectors piece. Watches inspired by R2-D2™, C-3PO™, Darth Maul™ and Darth Vader™ showcase the essence of each character with an extreme amount of detail, enabling the wearer to feel more connected to the Star Wars galaxy than ever before.
This vintage design is inspired by the Chronograph Challenge Timer, CITIZEN’s first watch with a full-fledged chronograph function, released back in 1972. The model was appropriately known as the TsunoChrono thanks to tsuno (horns) placed on both sides of the 12 o’clock position. The collection includes artwork featuring characters from the Star Wars Skywalker™ saga including loveable droids R2-D2™ and C-3PO™, iconic villain of the series Darth Vader™ and the fan-favorite Darth Maul™ with his double-bladed lightsaber.
Product Features
― Each watch features the Star Wars logo and an illustration of each character engraved on the case back
― Iconic bullhead design with the crown at the 12 o’clock position with push buttons on either side
― Rounded form and smooth lines of the case contrast with the sharp edges of the bezel
The R2-D2™ watch
The dial has a raised design echoing the panels on R2-D2’s body, and the white dial is accented with R2-D2’s distinctive blue and red. The sub-dial at the 6 o’clock position also has a miniature R2-D2.
