Pick up a rugged, zero-fuss piece of genuine Japanese sports watch history with this vintage Alba JDM sports timepiece. Alba is a premier, highly respected sub-brand entirely owned, manufactured, and powered by Seiko—giving you the legendary build standards and precision of a Seiko timekeeper in a tough, utility-focused layout.
This Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) reference features a striking matte black dial layout highlighted by sharp silver "Mercedes-style" hands and highly legible contrasting white indices. Styled with an elegant fixed sports bezel frame and a practical bilingual Kanji/English day-date calendar window, it delivers brilliant daily functionality.
Boasting a versatile 40.5mm case diameter, it balances a bold tool-watch aesthetic with a clean, low-profile wrist presence that slides effortlessly under a shirt cuff. It serves as an exceptional daily beater for smaller to medium wrists, or a stylish, understated casual look.
Condition Notes (Good Condition):
  • Case & Bezel: The stainless steel case architecture and fixed sports bezel ring are in beautiful, excellent cosmetic condition, showing only minimal signs of wear.
  • Dial & Crystal: The deep black dial face is completely immaculate, sitting under a clean mineral crystal.
  • Bracelet Sizing Warning: Fitted on its original stainless steel factory link bracelet. The bracelet is crisp and comfortably fits up to an approx. 17.5cm wrist. Please measure your wrist before buying, as this length is ideal for smaller or unisex wrist sizing!
