A new Citizen x Star Wars watch appears to be on the way, and it’s already been spotted at a US retailer ahead of an official release. Known as the Citizen Star Wars Duel and also identified by model number AW0160-09W, this unreleased timepiece looks set to become the latest addition to Citizen’s growing Star Wars collaboration lineup. A new Mandalorian-inspired model is also expected to arrive in the near future, adding even more momentum to the collection.
The Citizen Star Wars Duel watch leans heavily into one of the saga’s most unforgettable moments: the confrontation between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader on Cloud City in The Empire Strikes Back. The design centers on a dramatic black dial featuring silver-toned outlines of both characters, positioned to evoke the intensity of their duel. Red and blue accents are used throughout the watch, a clear nod to the iconic lightsaber colors seen in that scene. These flashes of color carry through to details like the lume-filled hands and the strap loops, helping the theme feel integrated rather than just printed on.
Framing the dial is a brushed stainless steel case measuring 42 mm (about 1.65 inches) wide, giving the watch a modern, wearable size that should suit a range of wrists. The case back continues the Star Wars detailing with an engraved “It is your destiny” inscription alongside two lightsabers, a collector-friendly touch that fans will appreciate.
In terms of functionality, the AW0160-09W uses a three-hand analog layout and includes both day and date displays for everyday practicality. Power comes from Citizen’s J800 movement with Eco-Drive technology, meaning the watch can run on light from indoor or outdoor sources—no regular battery changes required. It’s also rated for 100 meters of water resistance, and it’s paired with a black leather strap that matches the dial’s dark, cinematic look.
Pricing and availability details are starting to emerge as well. The listing shows a suggested retail price of $350 and is currently marked as temporarily out of stock. While Citizen hasn’t confirmed an exact launch date, there’s a hint that it could arrive before mid-June 2026, as the product description suggests it would make a “fitting Father’s Day gift.” For fans of Star Wars watches, Eco-Drive collectors, or anyone wanting a subtle but unmistakable tribute to a legendary movie showdown, the Citizen Star Wars Duel AW0160-09W is a release worth watching.
