This weekend I'm working at a local convention as a photographer for the Nordic Garrison of the 501st Legion.
The 501st Legion are a international group of Star Wars characters (Stormtroopers, Clone Troopers, Boba Fett, Greedo etc.) who will be attending the event in their full uniforms and collecting money for charity. More info on these groups can be found here: 501st Legion and Nordic Garrison
Because of this, my weekend watches will both be Star Wars themed.
Today is another of the GSX Smart watches which I've mentioned about before (-you can use the tags on the right of the page to find the others I've blogged). GSX watches have produced many limited edition collaborations including a set in 2007 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars.
This watch is one of that range and is the Darth Vader version. In the range, it is Smart Style #38. The watch is in Darth Vader trademark black and has his face on the front. His mask is painted on the glass, but his real face is printed on the watch face so you can see that from some angles.
Around the edge of the (glow in the dark) hour markers are the hours, but these are in a font which makes them look a little like tie-fighters.
The back of the watch has an etched Star Wars image for the 30th anniversary, and the watch number. This watch was released as a limited edition with only 300 of this design being issued.
The watch itself is a 3 hand dial watch. It has 3 small dials for the chronograph function, but the top one of these (which counts 10ths of a second with 2 seconds per rotation) is hidden by Darth's helmet so can't really be used. The seconds dial (bottom) and minutes dial (left) are no problem to use though.
