[ Product Overview ]

This is a sophisticated vintage "SEIKO ALBA" quartz wristwatch featuring a beautiful white dial with classic Arabic numerals, a distinct dark sub-dial tracking the small second hand at the 6 o'clock position, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal (SAPPHIRE). It comes housed in a polished stainless steel case with a compact 30mm diameter, paired with its original black crocodile-embossed genuine leather strap featuring a branded Alba silver-tone buckle clasp.

[ Item Condition & Status ]

Status: Currently Not Running (For Parts / As-Is)
The quartz small second movement was previously confirmed to be functional, but it is currently missing a battery and is not in running condition (電池は入っていない状態です). The front premium sapphire crystal remains completely intact and clean. The polished stainless steel case and fixed smooth bezel show standard fine surface scratches and light scuffs from normal handling. The original black leather band is fully secure and fits a wrist size of approximately 16.5cm on the gauge, though it exhibits noticeable wrinkling, standard creasing, and typical cosmetic wear/darkening on the inner lining from previous use. The case back is clearly stamped with "ALBA", "WATER RESISTANT 5 BAR", "STAINLESS STEEL", "MADE IN JAPAN", the movement-case code "VD78-D015", and the serial number "610116". Due to its vintage nature and current non-running state, this item is sold completely "AS-IS". We cannot provide any future guarantees or warranties regarding its continuous timekeeping accuracy, battery replacement compatibility, or internal component longevity. Perfect for watch collectors, repair practice, or restoration parts.
