Seiko SCED017 Giugiaro Reissue

April 8, 2018 By Stephen Leave a Comment

Seiko SCED017 Giugiaro Reissue

One of the most famous Seiko watch lines is the 7A28 chronograph series used in the movie, Aliens. These watches feature off-axis bracelet alignment and big boxy pushers that even regular people notice. In 2013, Seiko reissued these watches in their Spirit line, and today I’m wearing the 2014 SCED017 “Bishop” model.

Seiko SCED: A Modern Reissue of the 1980’s “Aliens” Chronographs

Seiko SCED: A Modern Reissue of the 1980’s “Aliens” Chronographs

Some of the most recognizable and sought-after collectible watches weren’t all that expensive when they were new. One example of the low-end grail is the line of 7A28 Seiko chronographs designed by Italian designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro. These odd asymmetric watches were used in the 1986 film, “Aliens”, but were not considered collectibles at the time. Now they are so in demand that Seiko has reissued them as limited edition models in their home-market Spirit line.
