Vintage ALBA AKA J-PHONE quartz wristwatch, reference V743-5A10. This unusual Japanese promotional/collaboration model features a striking blue dial with AKA, ALBA, and J-PHONE branding. The colorful outer minute track, applied hour markers, and distinctive central blue disc give the watch a unique late-1990s design. A practical day-date display is positioned at 3 o’clock. The case measures approximately 41.7 mm excluding the crown, giving the watch a relatively large wrist presence. The battery was replaced in August 2026, and the watch is currently running. The watch is fitted with a metal bracelet measuring approximately 16 cm in wrist circumference. The case, bezel, bracelet, crystal, and case back show scratches, scuffs, discoloration, and other signs of age and previous use. Please carefully review all photographs for the exact cosmetic condition. The case back is marked Water Resistant 10 BAR, Stainless Steel + Base Metal, and Japan. However, the watch has not been pressure-tested, so the original water-resistance performance cannot be guaranteed. A distinctive and collectible ALBA quartz watch featuring nostalgic J-PHONE branding and a bold Japanese 1990s design. ⸻ Shipping & Customs Policy For items with a final auction price of €250 or less, shipping will generally be carried out via Japan Post ePacket Light (registered airmail).
