Rare Vintage Alba Y486-5000 Men’s Alarm Chronograph Digital Sports Watch JDM 80s

Up for sale is a rare vintage Alba Y486-5000 men’s alarm chronograph sports watch, produced exclusively for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1980s. Powered by Seiko’s reliable Y486 module, this model captures the bold yet practical aesthetic of early Japanese digital watchmaking. The watch is in full working condition, and all features and functions operate properly, including timekeeping, alarm, dual time, and chronograph. Some of the pixels on the LCD screen are dead, as shown in the photos, but this does not affect the functionality of the watch—it simply cuts off portions of some of the numbers. The buttons are responsive, and all operations perform as intended. The watch is fitted with an aftermarket stainless steel expandable strap. It shows signs of use and age but remains in good physical condition overall. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully by interested buyers.
