Commuting in Metro Manila can be a daunting task. Good thing you have an Alba Mechanical watch to keep you always on time.
Whether it's riding the LRT through Taft or taking the bus to Cubao, you're best served with a timepiece that can keep up with you. Alba Mechanical watches are exactly what will get you through the day and be with you during the long ride home at night.
But what makes an Alba Mechanical watch different? Let's take a look.
An Introduction to Alba Mechanical Watches
Let's start by explaining what a movement is. Basically, it's the engine of the watch. It determines how a timepiece will keep time.
Something like a quartz movement works by the use of a battery sending electrical currents to a quartz crystal which vibrates at a precise frequency. Then a circuit translates this into one pulse per second.
On the other hand, a mechanical movement is powered by a mainspring that gets wound and stores energy. As the mainspring uncoils it goes through a series of gears which in turn turns the hands at a precise rate.
An Alba Mechanical watch by process of deduction uses a mechanical movement.
The Alba Mechanical Watches for You
To better explain the Alba Mechanical watch specifics, let's take a look at three watches in the collection. Introducing the AL4735X1, AL4763X1 and the AL4765X1 for your consideration.
The Y676 Mechanical Movement
Ticking inside these three watches from the Alba Mechanical Collection is the ever reliable Y676 movement. Developed by Seiko, it is every bit a workhorse. Because it can take a beating, you're safe to wear this in your helter skelter commute through the tough streets of the metro.
And what's more, this is an automatic movement. Although you have the option to manually wind the watch, it is also powered by the regular movements of your wrist, making this great for a daily driver.
Finally, this also powers a day date display on the 3 o’clock side of the dial. With this, you won't ever forget what day it is today.
Solid Construction For The Tough Streets
What also makes this set great is that these are very solidly built. Here you have a 43mm (44.5mm for AL4735X1) stainless steel case that can take quite a beating. It also has a durable and shatter resistant mineral crystal so your dial is well protected from the elements.
Speaking of the elements, two of these Alba Mechanical watches are rated for 20 bar water resistance (AL4763X1 and the AL4765X1) while the AL4735X1 comes in with a solid 10 bar water resistance. This comes in especially handy when the torrential rains that flood the Philippines come monsoon season. And in the summer? Well, no better time to go to the beach to cool off with your water resistant watch.
Stylish Sporty Design For The Road
And if nothing else, these Alba Mechanical watches are lookers. The AL4735X1 features a blue ocean motif dial matched with rotational red and blue dial. This is a classic color combination that is sought after by watch enthusiasts everywhere.
On the other hand, the AL4763X1 has this gorgeous black dial with a red and black bezel. Consider this if you're riding a motorcycle taxi as the wind blows through your leather jacket (which you wear even though it's so hot here).
Last but not least, the AL4765X1 has a silver white dial paired with a silver and black bezel. It's a cooler color combo that lets other people know that you keep a cool head even while in bumper to bumper traffic.
