Seiko Giugiaro 7A28-7000

Worn by Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley. Giugiaro's asymmetric quartz chronograph, known ever since as the "Ripley". Montres de Luxe, writing under the film's French release title Alien, le retour, independently identifies the same 7A28-7000 by its export Speedtimer branding rather than the Giugiaro design credit. (Montres de Luxe) Hodinkee, which credits the film's props to Bert Hern, places the clearest view of the 7A28-7000 at 00:47:32, as Ripley chases Newt down and pulls her into her arms, and notes that the 7A28 was the first analog quartz chronograph movement, timing to a tenth of a second. (Hodinkee) Monochrome's Giugiaro piece corroborates the 7A28-7000 on Ripley, "refinished in a gun-metal/blasted silver color instead of black", against Bishop's 7A28-6000. (Monochrome)

Seiko Giugiaro 7A28-6000

Worn by Lance Henriksen as Bishop. The android science officer Bishop wears the black-cased, offset-crown 7A28-6000, the Giugiaro-designed sibling to Ripley's silver 7A28-7000; the watch is visible several times, most memorably in the "knife game" scene at the mess table. (I Know Watches) (Peachy Exotic Watches) Montres de Luxe, writing under the film's French release title Alien, le retour, independently corroborates the Giugiaro Design chronograph on Bishop's wrist. (Montres de Luxe) Hodinkee times Bishop's introduction at 00:21:15, the all-black Seiko visible throughout the knife trick he performs on Hudson's hand at the mess table, and distinguishes the 6000 from the 7000 by its dive-style external bezel, red pushers and red bezel numerals on a black case and bracelet. (Hodinkee) Monochrome's Giugiaro piece corroborates the pairing: "The one (Ref 7A28-6000) was worn by the android Bishop played by Lance Henriksen while the other refinished in a gun-metal/blasted silver color instead of black was worn by the Ellen Ripley played by Sigourney Weaver (Ref 7A28-7000)".

Seiko Pulsemeter S234-501A

Worn by Michael Biehn as Corporal Dwayne Hicks. Hicks and several other Colonial Marines wear the black-buttoned Seiko Pulsemeter S234-501A, visible when the marines first assemble to brief Ripley and again during the mess-table knife game. The button colour is the identifying detail: production examples fitted with a yellow pulse button belong to a different execution, the S234-5010. (Replica Prop Forum) (I Know Watches)

Seiko H556-5050

Worn by Paul Reiser as Carter Burke. Weyland-Yutani company man Carter Burke wears the analog-digital Seiko H556-5050, a movement cousin of the H558 "Arnie" diver. (I Know Watches) Hodinkee likewise reads Burke's watch as a simpler analog-digital Seiko, printing the reference as "H556-550", one digit short of the H556-5050 recorded here. (Hodinkee)
