Fossil turns to the Dark Side for latest Star Wars watches

Darth Vader is featured on one of the £379 watches with his red Lightsaber as a minute hand and an H-link bracelet inspired by his distinctive armour.

Forty years after Return of the Jedi hit theaters, Fossil has unveiled a galaxy of timepieces inspired by Darth Vader and the dark side of the Empire.

Four limited edition watches follow on from a drop earlier this month — on May the Fourth, of course.

In the battle between good and evil, it is the dark side that wins out this time.

Darth Vader is featured on one of the $370 watches with his red Lightsaber as a minute hand and an H-link bracelet inspired by his distinctive armour.

An Imperial Stormtrooper watch ($370) with a blaster bolt for its minute hand comes in a white, resin-coated stainless steel case and bracelet.

Fossil’s TIE Fighter timepiece has one of the Empire’s fighters on the dial with luminous X-wings in the targeting grid. It is available for $295.

And a Boba Fett model ($370) takes its cues from the utilitarian style and unmatched craftsmanship of Mandalorian armor.

All watches use Japanese-made quartz movements.

The limited editions are on sale from May 30.
