Alba Thrasher W339

One of the main problems with 90s watches is that the straps don't last as long as the watch. Today's watch is one that has that problem and so I can't wear it.

This watch is by the Seiko brand Alba and is part of the Thrasher range. It is a rugged looking LCD model with a slammed LCD panel in a large case. The watch uses a W339 module and is an alarm chronograph. The display has a 6 digit main display with a small 2 digit display above the seconds. There are also 2 other display segments; a semicircular LCD with segments and a small digit display in the top right. The module has dual time, 3 alarms, timer, and chronograph. It has a 10 bar water resistance which is shows printed on the strap.

The watch has a full model number of W339-4A90, and the catalogue number is ADPX017. It's original sale price was ¥7000, and I guess it was released in 1993 (but could be 2003).
