Released in late 2015, the Seiko SCED035 reissue is a compliment to the original Seiko Giugiaro 7A28-7000 used in the movie "Aliens." The case and links are steel and have a nice feel to them. The watch links have a 3 square milled out design which really adds to the overall industrial look of the watch. The weight is pretty hefty and it can be felt on the wrist. It is a good quality watch if you are a Aliens/Seiko fan and can look past the complaints. Limited to 3000 unit production and only released in Japan, there should be a healthy following on this watch. Seiko also released the Bishop (black version) of this piece if one prefers a darker color. I found the chronograph function to work really well with the extended pushers; they are functional like a dedicated stop watch some coach would use at a sporting event. Complaints - No lume or light function making this not a good choice if you need more than a fashion watch - Chronograph pushers have too much lateral movement (in a $290 watch this is not acceptable) - watch band known to pull hairs when sliding around wrist (though i personally haven't had too much of a problem in this area) - Can be mistaken for a plastic watch due to finish - Case made in China (at this price point it should be a Japanese Seiko) - Hardlex Crystal watch glass (Sapphire Crystal would be ideal, though we typically don't see sapphire until about the $500 price point in Seiko Watches) If you can look past the shortcomings this is a very cool collectors piece, would buy before price spike due to limited production.Read full review

If you own a DeLorean, also designed by Giugiaro, you need this watch. But we know you are getting his watch because the original version of this watch was featured on Ripley's wrist in James Cameron's Aliens.
