Introduction to Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver is one of the most respected actors of her generation, a three-time Academy Award nominee whose career spans five decades of film and theatre. Born Susan Alexandra Weaver in New York City in 1949, she studied drama at Yale School of Drama before breaking through in Ridley Scott's Alien in 1979. The role of Ellen Ripley defined her early career and remains one of the most celebrated performances in science fiction cinema. She followed it with back-to-back Oscar nominations for Aliens (1986) and Gorillas in the Mist (1988) in the same year — a feat matched by very few actors in Hollywood history. Her range extends well beyond action and sci-fi, taking in comedies, dramas, and prestige television.
The Sigourney Weaver watch collection is compact but carries genuine collector weight. The most talked-about piece is the Seiko Giugiaro Design Chronograph 100, reference 7A28-7000, worn on screen throughout Aliens and now referred to simply as 'the Ripley' in watch collecting circles. Seiko released the 7A28-7000 in 1983, and its angular, industrial design — penned by Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, responsible for the DeLorean DMC-12 — made it a natural fit for a film production designer building a credible near-future military aesthetic. Beyond the screen, Weaver has also been spotted wearing Casio, the Japanese quartz brand whose G-Shock and standard digital lines have long been favoured for their practicality and durability rather than luxury signalling.
What stands out about the watches associated with Weaver is that neither brand trades in prestige in the traditional sense. Casio and Seiko are workhorses — precise, unpretentious, and built to be worn. The 7A28-7000 in particular has appreciated sharply in the vintage market since the early 2010s, with demand driven almost entirely by its connection to the Ripley character. Examples in good condition with original bracelet now regularly change hands for several hundred dollars, a significant premium over original retail.

The Seiko 7A28-7000 holds a rare distinction in horology: it earned a permanent nickname — 'Ripley' — from a single film role. Powered by Seiko's Calibre 7A28, one of the world's first analog quartz chronograph movements accurate to ±1 second per day, the watch was chosen by costume designers for its credibly futuristic aesthetic when Giugiaro penned its angular case in the early 1980s. Sigourney Weaver wore it as Ellen Ripley throughout the 1986 James Cameron sequel, cementing both character and timepiece in science-fiction history.

The Casio F-100 predates the iconic G-Shock by four years, yet its most famous appearance may be its strangest: two units zip-tied together with orange rubber on Ellen Ripley's wrist aboard the Nostromo. Released in 1978, the F-100 was among Casio's earliest modular LCD watches, offering alarm, stopwatch, and calendar functions in a package that read as believably functional sci-fi hardware. Wardrobe's low-budget ingenuity turned a drugstore watch into a piece of film history.
