Description: Rare New Old Stock Seiko Alba Aqua Gear APBD077 V145-0J90 Solar Scuba 200m Diver with Original Alba Z-20 Strap
Condition: Pre-owned; Very Good Condition
Dimensions: Approx. 41mm diameter excluding crown (39mm without crown guard), 11.5...mm thick, 45mm lug-lug, accommodates 20mm strap/bracelet
Accessories: Original 20mm Alba Z-20 rubber diver strap; No box/paper/tags
Water Resistance: 200m
Notes: You have the opportunity to acquire a Rare New Old Stock Seiko Alba Aqua Gear APBD077 V145-0J90 Solar Scuba 200m Diver with Original Alba Z-20 Strap. The watch dates to September 2003 based on the caseback serial. This APDD07x series is the earlier harder-to-find discontinued model with the Seiko V145 movement while the AEFD5xx series with the later V147 movement garnered received rave reviews in the past by dive watch enthusiasts as a great value diver. The V145 solar movement with a 6 month power reserve and date complication was best known in the popular Seiko Prospex SBCB009 Titanium diver series, but was used in quite a few other dress and sporty watches by Seiko, Alba and Pulsar. The original domed mineral crystal in perfect sharp with no scratches/cracks (a light hazing was due to some external fogging since I took it off my cold windowsill when I took the photos). Black solar dial in perfect shape with beautiful cathedral hands; lume still good strength. Stainless case and screw-down caseback in excellent condition. Undirectional ceramic click-rotate bezel in perfect condition with no scratches. Unsigned screw-down crown secures well. The movement is clean and the watch keeps accurate time and power reserve seems normal (it's never gone down to 2-second ticks on regular wear); service recommend for all vintages. The watch is unworn so you get the original Alba Z-20 rubber diver strap in excellent condition. No box/paper/tags. Watch is rated to 200mm but had not been pressure tested. The Seiko Alba Aqua Gear divers have received a cult following as a great bang-for-buck go-everywhere diver. This black dial original series APBD077 is hard to find in this condition - don't miss out!
Given that this is a pre-owned watch, service history is unknown, water resistance is not guaranteed and warranty unavailable. Sold AS IS.
Shipping: Priority ConUS shipping is free. International shipping will be priced per USPS International Priority. Due to the continued challenges with buyer restrictions per eBay Global Shipping, I will list one fairly for all bidders. If you are restricted from bidding it will be only due to feedback or geographic restrictions. Buyer will be responsible for all potential customs fees.
Questions welcome.
