Up for sale is a NOS (New Old Stock) rare vintage Alba Thrasher men’s digital sports wristwatch, model W339-4A90, produced exclusively for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) in the 1980s. This model embodies the bold and rugged design of the era, featuring the signature Thrasher branding and durable 10BAR construction, making it a standout among Alba’s vintage digital lineup.
The watch is in full working condition, and all features and functions operate properly except for the sound, which does not appear to be functioning.
The watch is fitted with an aftermarket strap, as the original band has deteriorated from age. It comes complete with its original Alba box and paperwork, including manuals and guarantee papers—rare to find preserved together.
The watch shows only minor signs of handling from long-term storage, but overall remains in excellent, well-preserved condition for its age. The photos best describe its physical condition.

► ARCHIVE FILE: ALBA — BRAND HISTORY
Alba is Seiko's other answer to the 1970s upheaval it had itself created. Seiko launched the brand in 1979 as a youth-oriented value line, a name taken from the word for dawn, slotted beneath Seiko proper just as Pulsar, acquired in 1978, served the same role in export markets. Alba watches were designed and built within the Seiko group, using its quartz calibers and factories, but were sold almost exclusively in Japan and Southeast Asia, which is why most of the world has never seen one in a shop window.
