Here is another watch released in the late 90s under the Seiko subgroup Alba.
This watch has been designed by Stefano Giovannoni, who is an Italian industrial designer and architect, most known for his work with Alessi (especially the Girotondo line which featured metal and plastic household appliances and accessories with a distinctive cut-out stick man figure). The watch was a limited edition release, and was issued in 1998.
The watch uses a W803 module, where the display is dominated by the large seconds in the centre. The time and date are shown in smaller characters below and above the seconds display respectively.
Mode-wise, the watch has a chronograph, timer, alarm, and an unusual BPM (beats per minute). feature. The BPM mode shows the text PACE-3 at the top, which was the only hint I could find as to how it works. When in this mode, you press the go-stop button (top right) to start, and again on the 3rd beat. The watch then uses this interval to calculate the BPM!
The full model number is W803-4000
