The Star Wars Fossil Mandalorian Collection introduces two limited-edition watches: the Everett Mandalorian and the Neutra Grogu. Developed by Fossil in collaboration with Star Wars, the release translates character design elements into watch construction. The Everett model features a 42mm gunmetal stainless steel case and bracelet, referencing Mandalorian armor with a multi-layered chest plate dial, Clan Mudhorn emblem, and luminous indexes. The handset draws from Razor Crest weapon detailing, while the caseback is engraved with artwork tied to the “Clan of Two.”
The Neutra Grogu model contrasts with a 38mm silver stainless steel case paired with a robe-inspired suede strap. Its green dial includes disc hands, lume elements, and pram-textured exterior detailing linked to the character. Both watches are individually numbered and packaged in custom display boxes that include sound features, lapel pins, and certificates of authenticity. The collection is scheduled to release on May 4 through Fossil’s webstore and select retail locations.
