► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
For sale is a rare vintage Alba by Seiko Hot Gear Navigator digital men’s sports watch, model W358-4A00. This Japan-Domestic-Market (JDM) model was produced in the 1980s and is part of the highly sought-after Hot Gear series — a line known for bold styling and outdoor functionality. Designed for adventure and navigation, it features a rotating built-in compass module, 100-lap memory, and 10BAR water resistance, making it both functional and visually iconic.
The watch is in perfect working condition — all features operate exactly as intended, including the chronograph, lap memory, alarm, and compass module. It is fitted with an aftermarket strap, as the original strap had deteriorated over time.
Physically, the watch is in near mint condition, showing only very light wear on the case back. The front display, buttons, bezel, and compass remain extremely clean and well preserved. Please refer to the high-resolution photos for the best representation of its cosmetic condition.

Alba is Seiko at its most playful: a youth-focused, largely Asian-market label whose bold ana-digi experiments, cult Spoon models, and short production runs now reward collectors of uncommon Japanese watches.
