Still riding the wave of the legendary Giugiaro x Seiko collaboration, this JDM Seiko Speedtimer 7A28-6000, affectionately nicknamed the "Bishop," is a masterpiece of asymmetrical design. It earned its sci-fi fame on the wrist of Bishop, the synthetic humanoid from Aliens (1986), cementing its status as a cult classic among collectors and movie buffs alike.

 

At first glance, there's a lot to take in, and that’s exactly the point: The offset case design is a bold departure from traditional chronographs, making this an exceptionally rare asymmetrical model. The rotating bezel, featuring striking red numerals on a black background, adds to its aggressive, futuristic aesthetic. The trio of sub-dials, inspired by an aircraft cockpit, reinforces its high-tech, precision-driven heritage. And then there are the two eye-catching red pushers, unmistakably Giugiaro in their bold placement and function.

 

The PVD-coated case and bracelet give it a unique shine, one that doesn’t feel like a typical black watch, but something more refined and stealthy. Beneath this iconic design lies the legendary Seiko 7A28 caliber, the world’s first quartz chronograph movement, A reminder that it was a game changer in the horological world.

 

This particular example is as pristine as they come. It includes its original box and papers, with remnants of the blue sticker still visible on the caseback, a strong indication that it was barely, if ever, worn.
