The Death Star Watch has been designed by Studio Kross in partnership with Lucasfilm as a darkly demure timepiece that puts the namesake space station front and center for avid sci-fi fans to admire. The timepiece features a 45mm titanium case that is capped with a domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal, which accommodates the tourbillion within and further enhances the skeletal aesthetic. The hands on the timepiece appear as an Imperial-Class Star Destroyer for the hour hand and a Super-Class Star Destroyer for the minute hand to further enhance the sci-fi nature of the accessory.
The Death Star Watch is limited to just 10 examples priced at $150,000 each and comes packaged in an Imperial kyber crystal container.
