A fantastic and increasingly hard-to-find Star Wars Episode I R2-D2 die-cast watch, released in 1999 to celebrate the launch of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.
This watch is brand new and factory sealed in its original retail packaging, making it a great piece for both Star Wars collectors and watch enthusiasts.
The watch features a detailed die-cast metal R2-D2 design, with a clever spring-loaded mechanism that reveals the digital time display when pressed. A really fun and unique design from the late 90s Star Wars merchandising era.
