The Seiko site says that this watch was also designed to be used on the handlebars of a motorcycle.

All of the first Speedmasters had innovative and practical ideas in their designs: https://by.seiko-design.com/140th/en/topic/55.html

      I was alive back in the 80’s, and to me and (seemingly) loads of people around me, it was fluffing cool to wear stuff like this. Even as… less than a fully-developed adult, lol.

      But in truth, we wore this stuff 100% more for the ‘the look’ than actually whatever the hell the actual watch was supposed to do. XD

    Giugaro was head of Ital Design. They designed all kinds of things, not just automotive.

    They even made Marille, a pasta design to hold optimal sauce.

      Oh wow, that’s… wow. oO

      Ugh, my aunt’s family in Firenze would kill me if they saw how hard I’d screwed this post up.

      Any idea how to correct the title…?
