Pre-owned Price 650 AED

This watch is a vintage Seiko Alba Y448-6010 Chronograph Quartz watch, originally produced in the 1980s. Alba is a sub-brand of the Seiko Watch Corporation, known for combining Seiko’s engineering with more accessible, trendsetting designs.
Key Features
Movement: Calibre Y448 Quartz movement, noted for its high accuracy even decades later.
Functions: Includes a chronograph (stopwatch) with 1/100 second increments, a calendar (day and date), and a backlight.
Build: Features a silver-colored stainless steel case approximately 34.7mm wide and an 18mm lug width.
Display: A digital LCD showing time, day of the week, and date indicators.
How to Set the Time
While specific manuals for the discontinued Y448 calibre are rare, vintage Alba digital watches generally follow this logic:
Enter Setting Mode: Press the MODE button (lower left) repeatedly until the digits on the main time display begin to flash.
Select Digits: Use the SELECT (lower right) or LIGHT SET (upper right) buttons to cycle through seconds, hours, minutes, and the date.
Adjust Values: Once the desired digit is flashing, use the START/STOP or LIGHT SET button to change the numbers.
Confirm: Press the MODE button one final time to exit the settings and lock in the new time.
Maintenance Tips
Battery: This model typically uses a small silver-oxide button cell. For Seiko/Alba watches, Seizaken (Seiko) or other high-quality silver-oxide batteries are recommended for longevity.
Water Resistance: Even if originally rated for water resistance, vintage gaskets often degrade over time. It is recommended to avoid water exposure unless the seals have been recently tested.
