A new womens watch?with a vertical striped textured dial and crystal markers were introduced. It has rose gold toned with?cases measuring 34mm in diameter and use the VJ22 quartz calibre.

During the first half of 2022 Alba released 78 new models across all of their ranges. Alba is a lower cost brand that is focused towards value and often youth customers. They produce models with both quartz and mechanical movements with a wide range of designs. I think that the brand is often used by designers who are testing concepts that they may later move onto the main Seiko branded products, so it is interesting to keep an eye on the brand.
