NOS Vintage Alba Reiji Matsumoto Astro Voice Talking Watch Y825-4010 JDM 1980s

Up for sale is an ultra rare vintage Seiko Alba Astro Voice talking watch, model Y825-4010, designed by legendary manga artist Reiji Matsumoto and produced exclusively for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1980s. This highly unique and futuristic creation embodies the imaginative spirit of Matsumoto’s designs and represents one of the most unconventional electronic timepieces ever made by Seiko’s Alba division. Unlike typical digital or analog watches, the Astro Voice features no visual display — it communicates entirely through sound. When buttons are pressed, the watch responds audibly with clear, spoken time announcements. The voice playback is crisp and of good volume, making it a remarkable example of 1980s Japanese innovation and novelty watchmaking. This particular example is new old stock (NOS) and remains in mint physical condition, complete with its original hangtag and factory strap. All features and functions operate properly, and the sound system works as intended. Every part of the watch is 100% original, including the casing, buttons, and strap. This is an extraordinarily rare collector’s piece, almost never seen on the market — especially in such pristine, unused condition. It’s a must-have for serious Seiko, Alba, or Japanese pop-culture watch collectors.
