# Reference: **Model:** Seiko SCED035 “Ripley” **Year Produced:** 2016 **Timestamp:**  [https://imgur.com/a/oyi3iwR](https://imgur.com/a/oyi3iwR) **Album:**  [https://imgur.com/a/NIkQ6ht](https://imgur.com/a/NIkQ6ht) # Features: **The Occasion.** The SCED035 is a limited edition re-release of the 7A28 “Ripley” - a watch accidentally made famous by James Cameron’s 1986 film *Aliens*. Unlike most watches worn in films today, there was no marketing deal between Cameron and Seiko. Cameron simply scoured the market for a watch that had the retro-futuristic charm to match the vision of his film. Fortunately for him, Seiko had recently collaborated with the king of retro-futurism, Giorgetto Giugiaro. Renowned for his work with Lamborghini that redefined the modern sports car, Giugiaro also dabbled in designing watches exclusively for Seiko. **The Man.** To truly understand Giugiaro's impact, it’s worth noting his vast and varied design portfolio. He has 46 car design credits. To be clear, I don’t mean he designed 46 individual cars - I mean he was commissioned to design new vehicles for 46 different car *companies*. Can you even name 46 different car companies? From Daewoo to Ferrari and Suzuki to Bugatti, Giugiaro has done design work for them all. **The Variety.** And his influence extends far beyond automobiles. He designed a dozen cameras for Nikon, firearms for Beretta, motorcycles for Ducati, a train, tractors, telephones, a bridge in Tuscany, a new pasta shape, an Olympic basketball, and, of course, *a handful of watches for Seiko*. The fact that there’s no Giorgetto Giugiaro autobiography is, quite frankly, criminal. **The Complication.** A 60-minute chronograph, 24-hour dial, stop-watch with split/lap time, and a subtle date window at 3 o’clock. **The Bracelet.** It looks and feels great. A matte, almost bead-blasted titanium-grey finish to this stainless-steel tank tread bracelet. The bracelet can fit up to a 7.2 inch wrist.  # Details: **Condition**: In very fantastic condition overall. The hyper-polished case back, like many SCED035, has been scratched by its own bracelet. There is one obvious mark near the top chrono-pusher.  **Scope:** In the original Seiko box, with no papers. **Movement**: Citizen A060 Solar HAQ **Dimensions:** * Case Width: 42.0mm * Lug to lug: 42.6mm * Case Thickness: 10.8mm * Lug Width: 20.0mm ·         Strap Length: Up to 7.2 inches **Price:** Priced at **$1475** \+ shipping.
