Thanks for viewing my listing! I have been a net collector of vintage watches over the years and now I've reached to point where I would like others to enjoy my watches/accessories or finish off projects I don't have time for. Description: Rare Seiko Alba JAL (Japan Airlines) Cream Dial Cal.
VX39 Dual Time GMT Jump Hour with Original Stainless Bracelet. Condition: Pre-owned; Very Good Condition. 37mm diameter excluding crown; 42mm lug-lug, 9.5mm thick; 20mm lug width. Accessories: Original 20mm Clasp Bracelet; No box/paper/tags. Notes: You have the opportunity to acquire a Rare Seiko Alba JAL (Japan Airlines) Cream Dial Cal.
The watch likely dates to the early 1990s but there's no caseback serial to confirm. The watch houses and uncommon Seiko Hattori Cal. VX39 movement that includes a 3-hands with central seconds; GMT hand; date with quickset and jump hour functions. I believe this movement was also used in Seiko Alba's Field Gear but less commonly used in dress watches. A couple to tiny hairline scratches on the domed mineral crystal; still in great shape.
The cream while dial with cool round and vertical hour marks remains in very good shape; there is a cool blue airplane accented seconds hand while the GMT hand is accented in red; lume is medium-weak despite age. Light wear on the gold plated 24h bezel.
Polished case in very good shape with minimal dings; snap stainless caseback in good condition. Unsigned gold plated crown in very good condition with minimal wear and the GMT jump hour and quickset date works well. Movement is clean, battery changed within the last 6 months and the watch is keeping good time. The original 20 unsigned stainless clasp bracelet easily fits my 7.5 inch wrist with all 4 microadjustments available. Watch is rated to 100mm but had not been pressure tested. This thin JAL Dual Time watch is rare and a worthy additional to your collection - don't miss out!
