Vintage Seiko 7A28-7000 Chronograph Speedtimer (Alien Watch)

Just picked this piece up, been looking at it for six months at a local guys shop! Not sure he knew what it was or did any of his customers! For that fact i didnt either until i brought it home and lets just say i did very well on it! Watch was in the movie Aliens so that is where the nickname came from, watch works great , chrono function is dead on and snaps back to 12! Missing one of the plastic pusher covers (found a set on ebay for 99 bones) lets just say i didnt pay that much for the watch! Most i've seen on google have taken the covers off. Came in a silver case with black covers or a black case with yellow pusher covers. I thought for sure it was the original bracelet but after looking around i would say its not and there is a few light marks on the crystal. It's about 43mm across and 40mm lug to lug and the only quartz pice i own and the first watch ive bought in a long time. ENOUGH, ENOUGH already on to the pics

Neat looking piece, never seen or heard of this one before. These are the pieces I like...one that everyone else isn't wearing. Congrats!!

just stole (borrowed) this pic from TZUK and the one on the right has the stock bracelet on it and from what i've read the last hour almost impossible to find! Alien watch was designed by Giorgio Giugiaro and is often referred to as the Alien ...

Cool pickup!! Here's a couple of pics I found from the movie:

Cool Watch. Congrats!
I've always been a big Alien(s) fan.
Hopefully you can still find the stock bracelet some day.

Thanks guys, JAW with a set of the pusher covers at 99 dollars i would hate to think what the bracelet would go for if i could find one!! Been going crazy without buying a watch in what seems like forever! This one wasnt much but i've seen them go for big bucks, not that i want to sell it just nice to know i did ok on it!

Sweet watch Trev!! Great find!!!!

Been sitting at this guys shop for at least 6 months, dont know why i never googled the seiko number but today i stopped by and looked at a 45mm Omega PO chrono he wanted 2700 bones for and since i havent bought anything from him in almost a year told him give me that seiko, Got home and did a little search and i'm really happy how it all worked out, if i could find the stock bracelet i would be in heaven!!!

Holy COW Trevor !!!! Is this watch something else or what ?!
Has to be one of the most unique, if not COOLEST Seikos I have
honestly ever seen ! The case, dial, and bracelet literally look like
they could have come from outer space ! ..It's just FANTASTIC !!!
Makes it even better, now that we know this model was actually
in the movie Aliens. Awesome pics there Chris ! The outer part
of the case kind of reminds me a little of an Omega Ploprof, but it
adds in a futuristic theme too, and the dial with it's accents could
not be any better imo. The shape is something you really never
ever see, and it looks like it is as comfortable as it is cool ! Must
have felt great to bring this one home Trev. I know I have never
seen it before, but this is REALLY something ! Thanks for showing
us something new ! I appreciate it, and hope you will have fun
wearing this watch. It's a REAL conversation piece !!! Congrats,
and of course ENJOY it sir !!!!..Oh, and I like that bracelet by the
way,..and SUPER photos here as well !

That is one different looking Seiko Trevor! I do LIKE IT! I need to pay more attention to watch details in movies. Never remembered seeing any watch in the Aliens movie let alone any watch in any movie.

Very "ploprof-ish"...

NICE vintage!

Very cool with the ALIENS tie in!

Enjoy!

Thanks guys, my goal is to find a original bracelet! Dont think it will happen but will keep an eye out for one!

So it's a woman's watch?

Pretty cool find, Trevor. Great provenance.
Some other things designed by Giorgio:

Thanks Tim, i got the same thing from Kenneth and his 6.5" wrist! 43mm is a mans watch in my book unless you are a watchgeek and hell Sigourney was almost a man as bad-ass as she was in this flick!!

That's a good find for sure! What a cool look.

Changed it out to another bracelet, this one came on my UFO and while they are close i like the look and feel much better on this one, plus the clasp is much better!

great find trevor, congrats and enjoy it. thanks for the pics. steve

Siggy was so kick ass in that movie, many started to wonder about her...

It really is a cool watch.

Not sure how cool but different for sure!

That is one COOL vintage piece!
