Alba Ana-Digi V041

I'm out at concerts today, so needed one of my more practical watches.

So I chose one of the more rugged design Ana-Digi watches by the Seiko brand Alba.

The watch works on the Seiko/Alba V041 module which has been used across a range of watches.

It is a standard design ana-digi with a dial across the top 2/3 of the face, and a smaller LCD display below. The analogue part is a 3 hand dial, with a crown for setting. The LCD is a small 6 digit LCD display where the other modes lie. As normal, the modes are time, date, alarm, and stopwatch.

The design is rugged with a thick bezel and an easy to read dial (with glow in the dark hour markers and hands). The strap is fabric and leather, and the loose end is held in place with a presstud.

Date-wise, I think this is from 1992 (as 82, and 02 don't seem as likely for this design). The full model number is V041-6020.
