Rare Alba NX04-0A20 Zic World Time Ana-Digi Watch, World Map Dial, NYC City Display, Stainless Steel Bracelet, 47.4mm, 10 Bar Water Resistant — JDM Seiko Family

This is a genuinely uncommon and highly collectible piece from Alba's Zic World Time line — the Alba NX04-0A20, a bold ana-digi world time watch produced under Seiko's Alba brand, confirmed on the caseback which reads: ALBA / NX04-0A20 / S.STEEL / WATER RESISTANT 10BAR / MADE IN CHINA. The "Zic" sub-brand was Alba's premium sporty designation, and the World Time function combined with the stunning world map dial graphic makes this one of the most visually arresting watches in the entire Alba catalog.

The dial is the centerpiece and the reason collectors seek this watch out. A frosted silver-white background is overlaid with a detailed world map graphic printed in grey/charcoal — continents rendered across the full dial face, creating a globe-trotting aesthetic unlike anything else in the Japanese sport watch segment. The digital display prominently shows the current world time city code in large bold characters — "NYC" in the photos — confirming the watch is actively cycling through global time zones. 

Additional digital segments below show local time and seconds. The analog section features a red-tipped seconds hand for instant visual drama against the pale dial. The rotating bezel is a black diver-style unit marked FORWARD and REVERSE with index marks for LIGHT, MODE on the left and FORWARD, ALBA, REVERSE on the right — giving the wearer full manual control over the world time city selection.

Six pushers surround the case — three on each side — providing access to all functions including light, mode, forward/reverse city scrolling, and alarm. The case measures a commanding 47.4mm in diameter and 17.7mm in thickness, with polished and brushed stainless steel surfaces combining for a premium, substantial look and feel.

The bracelet is a wide, brushed stainless steel solid-link design with a substantial double-fold deployant clasp — the kind of bracelet that communicates quality the moment you pick it up.

Condition

This watch shows honest wear consistent with its vintage age. The dial is fully intact and all digital segments display correctly — the world time city function is confirmed working in the photos (displaying NYC). The analog hands operate correctly. The caseback shows surface scratching typical of removal and handling over time, visible in the photos. The case flanks and pushers show light wear marks. The bracelet retains solid structure with no stretched or damaged links, and the clasp functions securely. Overall this is a solid, working example of a genuinely hard-to-find JDM Alba Zic World Time that presents well and functions as designed.

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.
