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

My next hunt begins.
You sound like someone who might be in a position to share some photos of your collection, here!
I actually love this
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.
sauce levels nominal, over
Oh wow, that's... wow. oO

Dammit, the floor is yours.
Name the watch please and I'll update the title, thank you.
This looks way cooler than my Apple Watch
Apple ruined industrial design.
Lately yes. Originally no though!
