It's a very early post today as the rest of the day will be rather busy taking photos.
The watch I've chosen today is by the Seiko brand Alba, and was released sometime around 1994. It is part of their Aqua Gear line of watches, which were a range of water resistant fashion watches - this one is 20 bar resistant (approx 200m). Alba had several Gear lines of watches including Hot Gear, Field Gear, and Aqua Gear (examples from all of these can be found elsewhere on my blog).
The watch is a 3 hand dial movement using a V701 quartz module (the full model number is V701-1Y20), with a crown at the 4 o'clock position. It has a rotating bezel, but this is mainly for decorative purposes. The entire watch face glows in the dark for easy night use (- I've tried to get a picture, but it's a little dark).
It has a very colourful design in purple, turquoise, yellow, orange and white, so is pretty noticeable. The strap is also printed with the Aqua Gear name (and has a part number of FAV4FB 20).
The catalogue number was APBT075, and it was originally sold for 9,000 yen.
