Every model is designed to celebrate the franchise and as a unique touch, every design is numbered individually.

Each one is also packaged in a special collector's box. The six limited edition watches include motifs that nod to characters such as "Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo, Chewie, R2-D2, and [C-3PO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-c3po)." This can be seen through the selection of colors, highlighting the full gold tonal timepiece that honors C-3PO with a square-shaped case. THe five special edition pieces are also secured by rubber straps and finished with comic book-themed graphics on the dial.
