Their partnership resulted in a collection of exceptionally unique timepieces, even by contemporary standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne standout creation from this collaboration is the iconic Seiko Giugiaro Speedmaster 'Ripley' 7A28-7000 Chronograph, famously featured in James Cameron's 1986 blockbuster, Alien. Among Giugiaro's early ventures into watch design, this model showcased a striking Seiko quartz chronograph, powered by the pioneering Seiko quartz Cal. 7A28 movement. Notably, the Seiko 7A28 quartz chronograph was the world's first analog quartz chronograph movement, having debuted just a few years prior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpon its debut, the 'Ripley' was undeniably unconventional: Its distinct rectangular housing on the right flank of the case positioned the chronograph pushers vertically—an uncommon yet instantly recognizable design choice. Complemented by a vibrant yellow seconds track and a bold orange handset against a brushed steel backdrop, the watch exuded a unique charm, earning it a reputation as one of Seiko's quirkiest (and most coveted) references.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn pristine, unworn condition, this classic JDM Speedmaster variant retains its original allure, with the protective blue film on the case back still intact. It stands as a testament to the ingenuity of its design and ranks among the most captivating chronographs ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition report\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chronograph is in excellent condition: The watch is unworn and the case has no visible scratches.
