Today's watch is yet another line of watches from Alba. This line is called the Neatnik and was released by Alba starting in the late 90s (this one was made in 1999). The word Neatnik is defined as "someone who is habitually neat and tidy".
The watch is very lightweight, and is made from Aluminium (or Aluminum depending on which country you are from) and plastic. This leaves the weight down, but makes the watch prone to scratches.
This, like most of the Neatniks, has very small dials, and this particular watch has 4. The central silver dial shows time, and the bottom dial shows just hours, but with 24 hours for one rotation. The side dials are for the date (left = days, right = date).
The Neatnik range also often have this aluminium link strap with a plug and socket clasp. This straps part number is F1B7AZ.I
The watch label is Alba Neatnik Aluminum H.A.O.C, and has a model number of V33J-5A20. The watch takes the SB-AJ/SR961SW battery. I do not know what H.A.O.C means - anyone out there who knows?
The back of the watch is also imprinted with the word oshidori which is either a type of mandarin duck, or a name.
This particular model appears to have been released either at the end of 99, or the start of the 00s, as it does not appear in the 1999 vol. 1 Alba catalogue.
