Vega 9238-390016 Dual Time Quartz Chronograph Vintage Digital Watch, JDM, Running, Original Bracelet
You are looking at a genuine vintage Vega 9238-390016 Dual Time Quartz Chronograph — a rare and visually distinctive Japanese digital from the late 1970s to early 1980s. Vega was a boutique JDM brand that produced a limited range of high-quality digitals during the golden age of Japanese LCD watchmaking, and pieces like this are increasingly difficult to find in running condition. This watch is fully functioning and ships on its original stainless steel bracelet.
The dial is immediately striking — a cool grey-blue face with gold-accented text throughout, giving it a sophisticated, almost futuristic look that stands apart from typical digital watches of the era. The layout is information-rich: the upper section displays DAY and SECOND/YEAR with a full Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa day indicator and 1/100 second chronograph capability. The large lower display shows HOUR/MONTH and MINUTE/DATE. The brand name "VEGA" is flanked symmetrically by "DUAL TIME" on the left and "QUARTZ" on the right, with "CHRONOGRAPH" spanning the full width below — a remarkably clean and well-designed dial for its era. Functions include Mode, Light, Start/Stop, and Read/Set/Lap/Reset, operated via the side pushers. A SELECT pusher is positioned on the right side of the case.
The caseback is marked 9238-390016 / 91018105 / GN-4-S / Japan-TA / Stainless Steel / Water Resistant. The bracelet reference is D169A7.F.
Case measures 38.2mm wide and 13.6mm thick — a nicely proportioned, wearable size that works on a wide range of wrist sizes.
Condition — Based on Photos:
The LCD display is active and fully legible with strong contrast. The grey-blue dial face is clean and presents beautifully, with the gold-accented text remaining crisp. The case shows light scratching on the sides and lugs consistent with age — nothing distracting from normal viewing distance. The caseback has surface scratches typical of a vintage daily wearer. The bracelet shows light to moderate wear and oxidation on the links, consistent with its age, but remains structurally intact with a functioning clasp. The pushers are present and operational. Overall a very presentable, working vintage digital piece with excellent visual appeal.
Shipping is same day or 1 business day. Item is carefully and securely packed for safe transit.

All listings are AS-IS. I have made every effort possible to describe the item in this listing accurately. All the items I sell are authentic and in working order unless otherwise noted as parts. By bidding on this item, you completely accept these terms. I pack items I sell extremely well. I make no statement whatsoever about support for watch function after the item has left my warehouse. In addition, every watch that I list on eBay has been photographed extensively and been videoed. This means that once the watch leaves my warehouse, it is in the same identical shape as described in the listing. I will not take back a watch and return especially one that has been tampered with previously nor falsely declaring that a watch is not working, when the proof says otherwise. Do not leave negative feedback as a means of leverage over me. I will willingly work with every buyer to assist with issues that arise, or if by chance a 30- or 40-year old vintage watch decided to be unstable. If you choose to leave negative feedback as a means of gaining leverage over me to mischaracterize the accuracy of the listing, you will face overwhelming proof on my side that the item listed was in the shape as described in the description and I WILL CONTACT eBAY WITH OVERWHELMING PROOF THAT THE ITEM WAS ACCURATELY DESCRIBED AT THE TIME OF THE LISTING.
