Giorgetto Giugiaro and his love of bold design. I can't picture a more perfect creative partner for Seiko than the legendary Italian. After being made famous by its inclusion in the original Aliens film (1986, dir. James Cameron), the Ripley was reissued in 2015 in limited numbers.

Features: 

7T12 movement. A 60-minute chronograph, 24-hour dial, stop-watch with split/lap time, and a subtle date window at 3 o’clock. I’ve just changed the battery, and according to Seiko it should last 5 years with normal usage. +/- 15 seconds per month.

Limited Edition. Numbered 2161 out of 3000 (which is between the years Alien and Aliens were set!).

Unique Design. Originally designed by the legendary car designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, and faithfully recreated by Seiko in 2016. The 1980s 7A28 version of the “Ripley” was originally designed by Giugiaro to give racing car drivers easy and quick access to the chronograph pushers. However, the outlandish visuals of the watch landed it a role in Aliens as James Cameron decided the watch, and other Giugiaro designed Seiko watches, looked futuristic enough to be worn by the cast of Aliens!

Tank Tread Bracelet. Feels as fantastic to wear as it looks. A matte, almost bead-blasted titanium-grey finish. The bracelet is fits a maximum 7.5 inches wrist.

Condition: In very fantastic condition overall. The hyper-polished case back, like many SCED037, has been scratched by its own bracelet. The rest of the watch is in great condition.

Scope: Original box and papers.

Movement: Quartz

FAQs

Are your watches authentic?

Everything we sell is 100% authentic.

All of our watches are inspected and verified for authenticity - both inside and out. We have over 15 years of sourcing and collecting rare watches in Japan, which is often considered to be one of the best markets for authentic and fully original vintage watches.

Do you ship globally?

We are based in Japan and regularly ship all over the world. We typically use FedEx and it takes:

  • 3-7 business days to reach North America
  • 3-7 business days to reach Europe
  • 3-7 business days to reach Asia and Oceania.

All of our packages are securely shipped, fully insured, and trackable door-to-door.

Are all of your watches serviced?

Most but not all of our watches are serviced. The "Condition" section of each watch will confirm if the watch has been serviced.

All of our watches are tested by an independent watchmaker - if a service is needed, the watch will be serviced. If a service hasn't been conducted, it's because the watch itself is too new to need a service, or there is evidence of a recent service.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept payment by all major Credit Cards and Wise.com

What condition are your watches?

Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of the watches we typically sell, the condition varies from watch to watch. However, our photos are high resolution and our descriptions are accurate. You can buy with confidence knowing there won't be any nasty surprises.

If the condition of a watch is ever misrepresented, we would offer a full refund.

Do I have to pay customs or taxes?

It depends on so many factors, including but not limited to the cost of the watch, the type of watch you've bought (vintage or new), and the import laws of your country. If you're unsure we recommend checking the import laws that relate to your country before ordering.

Are your watches water resistant?

Our serviced watches are typically tested to their original water resistant specifications, but we would never recommend pushing vintage or neo-vintage watches to their depth limits.

What is your returns policy?

Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of most of our watches, we do not offer returns under normal circumstances. All sales should be considered final.
