Thirty-five years since the first instalment hit cinemas and still the Star Wars franchise remains as popular as ever. Which is presumably why Japanese watchmakers Seiko has decided to cash in with five limited-edition wristwatches based on various Star Wars characters.

The series of watches will go on sale on 12 October and include R2D2, Darth Vader, the Storm Troopers, Yoda and, erm...Darth Maul. Whereas the R2D2 watch is digital – according to Ubergizmo the 300dpi display is capable of showing clips from the films - the others feature analogue displays.

Emblazoned on the back of each watch is an image of the character whose watch you have purchased.

All the watches are limited edition, with between 500 and 1,500 of each. They also don’t come cheap. Amazon Japan has begun pre-order sales for around about £760. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Well it all depends how big a Star Wars fan you class yourself to be.

Star Wars Collectors Watches by Zeon

Fashion

Posted ImageStar Wars embarks upon another watch collaboration this year, this time teaming up with the United Kingdom based designers at Zeon for a five watch collection.

Fans of the galaxy far, far away need no reminder of the stunning Seiko Star Wars watch collection, and now Zeon looks to give the Seiko a run for their money with their new set of timepieces. The series includes five different analog watches inspired by our favorite movie franchise of all time. We have a Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, Stormtrooper and Boba Fett timepiece, all of which feature water resistant leather bands. Of course seeing that these are officially licensed Lucas Film collectibles, it’s no surprise that each watch comes packaged in individually numbered, velvet lined boxes complete with a collector’s certificate. Check out the Star Wars watches below. [Via]
