The sun is back again today, and I'm blogging a solar watch again.
This watch is made by the Seiko brand Alba. The watch is part as their Solar Dynamic System or SDS line. The line started in the mid 90s, and this model was made in 1994 (and still for sale in 1996), and has a catalogue number of ASEC009. The watch is a 3 hand dial with no other functions. The solar panels are on the face of the watch and very visible (2 panels each with 2 sections).
It uses a V851 module, which was used in a few different designs in the SDS line. This one has an offset case with the strap on the right side of the case, and the shape of the watch had reminds me of the Millennium Falcon. It is 5 bar water resistant, and was made in Japan. When it was originally released, it sold for 6,500 yen.
The full model number is V851-5000, and has a FBC4EE 20 strap.
