Rare Alba Y789-5060 Alarm-Chronograph Digital Quartz Watch, Stainless Steel, Black Dial, 100m Water Resist, 43mm, Vintage JDM Seiko Subsidiary Collector Piece This is a truly outstanding find for fans of vintage Japanese digital watches — the Alba Y789-5060 Alarm-Chronograph, a feature-packed and beautifully designed piece from Seiko's prestigious Alba subsidiary, built for the Japanese Domestic Market. Alba was Seiko's premium domestic brand, and pieces like this represent some of the finest engineering of the early digital era. This one is a must-have for serious collectors. The case is a boldly styled octagonal stainless steel design measuring 43mm wide as confirmed by digital calipers in the photos. The bracelet fits a 7-inch wrist as shown on the EZ Bracelet sizing tool. The dial is a striking matte black panel with the "ALBA" logo prominently positioned at top left and "ALARM-CHRONOGRAPH" designation across the top. Four decorative rectangular indicators sit above the main LCD display window, giving this watch an unmistakable and aggressive retro aesthetic. The display shows time with seconds, day of week, and date simultaneously. Full function labeling is printed cleanly below the display: Light, Mode, Date Select, Start-Stop, Alarm, Set, Lap, Reset. The reference number Y789-5060 T is printed on the dial face along with "JAPAN" designation. The watch is rated Water 100m Resist — a significant specification for a vintage digital piece of this era. Two pushers are positioned on the right side of the case for chronograph and function control. The caseback is stainless steel with the distinctive Alba spiral logo embossed at center, with serial number 294686 and "Y789-5060" and "WATER RESIST" engraved around the perimeter. The bracelet clasp is stamped AA/9A. The watch comes on its original matching stainless steel multi-link jubilee-style bracelet, which is a handsome and substantial complement to the bold case design. Condition This watch is in very good vintage condition overall. The LCD display is fully operational and reading correctly across all functions as shown in the photos. The black dial face is clean with all text remaining sharp and legible. The stainless steel case shows light to moderate surface scratching consistent with its vintage age, visible on the case sides and bezel, but no dents or significant damage. The case sides show some darkening in the recessed areas typical of aged stainless. The pushers are present and functional. The stainless steel bracelet shows light surface wear throughout but remains fully intact, flexible, and solid. The crystal has light surface marks but does not significantly obstruct the display. This is an honest, working vintage example that presents very well overall. This watch ships same day or next business day, carefully packed for safe arrival. #Alba, #Y789-5060, #Alba chronograph, #vintage Alba watch, #Seiko Alba, #JDM watch, #LCD digital watch, #alarm chronograph, #vintage digital watch, #Japanese watch, #100m water resist digital, #retro digital watch, #Alba collector, #vintage chronograph, #stainless steel digital watch All listings are AS-IS. I have made every effort possible to describe the item in this listing accurately. All the items I sell are authentic and in working order unless otherwise noted as parts. By bidding on this item, you completely accept these terms. I pack items I sell extremely well. I make no statement whatsoever about support for watch function after the item has left my warehouse. In addition, every watch that I list on eBay has been photographed extensively and been videoed. This means that once the watch leaves my warehouse, it is in the same identical shape as described in the listing. I will not take back a watch and return especially one that has been tampered with previously nor falsely declaring that a watch is not working, when the proof says otherwise. Do not leave negative feedback as a means of leverage over me. I will willingly work with every buyer to assist with issues that arise, or if by chance a 30- or 40-year old vintage watch decided to be unstable. If you choose to leave negative feedback as a means of gaining leverage over me to mischaracterize the accuracy of the listing, you will face overwhelming proof on my side that the item listed was in the shape as described in the description and I WILL CONTACT eBAY WITH OVERWHELMING PROOF THAT THE ITEM WAS ACCURATELY DESCRIBED AT THE TIME OF THE LISTING.
