Up for sale is a rare vintage Alba Success ladies quartz dress watch, reference V891-0060, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1980s. This elegant model is part of Alba’s refined Success line and features a distinctive multi-function dial that reflects the brand’s higher-end design approach from the era.
The watch is in full working condition, with all features and functions operating properly. All parts of the watch are original. In addition to standard timekeeping, the dial includes a calendar display along with a day–night style indicator that visually shows the transition of the sun rising and setting followed by the moon rising and setting. This display serves as a clear indication of daytime versus nighttime hours rather than a traditional lunar moon phase complication.
The gold-tone case is paired with a refined dial featuring Roman numeral hour markers and the animated sun and moon display, giving the watch a classic and elegant vintage appearance. The watch shows signs of use and age consistent with a vintage timepiece. Please review the photos carefully, as they best describe the watch’s physical condition.

► ARCHIVE FILE: SEIKO — BRAND HISTORY
Seiko begins with Kintaro Hattori, who opened a shop selling and repairing clocks in Tokyo's Ginza district in 1881, at the age of twenty-one. He founded the Seikosha factory in 1892 to manufacture wall clocks, built Japan's first wristwatch, the Laurel, in 1913, and put the Seiko name on a dial for the first time in 1924. By mid-century his successors ran one of the most vertically integrated watch companies on earth, making everything from hairsprings to cases under its own roof.
