Death Watch Armor

Concurrently with the armors seen being worn by the New Mandalorians were the armors worn by the terrorist faction known as the Death Watch, a splinter faction who still believed in the traditional warrior culture of Mandalore’s past. These designs are much more closely aligned with the Mandalorian armor we saw worn by Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and then by his father in the prequel’s middle chapter, Attack of the Clones.

Death Watch iterations on this aesthetic are visually identical to the designs worn by Jango and then eventually inherited by Boba, but in place of the clean look of Jango’s armor—which Boba would then paint over in his own color scheme—the Death Watch unified their look with darker metallics and blue accents.
