Alba AKA dual dial

Sunday's watch is one from the Alba AKA group of watches. Alba is a subbrand of Seiko watches, started in 1979 with the name bring used mainly in Asia and the Middle East. The AKA range was designed to appeal to young fashionable people, and was in competition with the Citizen Independent 1481010 line (one of which was shown yesterday).

This Alba AKA has two independent watch dials, each can be set separately and has its own battery. The model/movement number is Y15W, but also shows (Y151 + Y150) reflecting that the two dials have slightly different movements (only the top one has a second hand). As the dimensions of the watch are quite narrow, I'd guess it was designed as a unisex or youth watch.
