Unlock the Weird and Wonderful World of Vintage Seiko Watches: The Most Iconic and Sought-After Timekeepers

Ripley

Check out the Seiko Ripley, a chronograph named after the iconic character from the 1986 movie Aliens. This sci-fi-inspired watch is part of the collaboration between Seiko and renowned automotive designer Giorgetto Giugiaro. The Ripley’s popularity led to its reissue in 2015, and today it’s still an affordable quartz-powered option.

Mohawk

The Seiko Mohawk is another unique watch that takes a different approach to the traditional dive watch design. Instead of adding color or markers to highlight the critical first 20 minutes on the diving bezel, the Mohawk’s first third is dramatically raised. This not only makes it easier to grip and turn but also adds to the watch’s already quirky, asymmetric design. You won’t find many dive watches like this, and that’s what makes the Mohawk so distinctive and, dare we say, lovable.
