The character has been beloved since he first made his debut back in 1962 in the AMAZING FANTASY #15. To mark the special milestone, the duo launched a [limited edition CITIZEN watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-citizen-rebel-starfighter-boxed-set) with an exclusive run of 1962 pieces to commemorate the year of his debut. It has a 43mm stainless steel case with red and blue aluminum at the ring held by a PU strap. Additional details include the blue 3-hand dial with a classic webbing emblem, the superhero's mask, and an etched design of Spider-Man at the back of the watch.
