Full Lume Dial. Pepsi Chapter Ring. Built for the Dark.

The Alba AM3A53X is a men's Active quartz chronograph with two design signatures that watch enthusiasts will immediately recognise. The full luminous dial — the entire dial surface charged with lume for maximum low-light readability — glows pale yellow-green in darkness, making this one of the most legible sport watches in the range at any hour. Surrounding it, a blue and red "Pepsi" chapter ring with chronograph scale adds one of watchmaking's most beloved bi-colour references as the dial's inner frame. A red chronograph centre seconds hand and 1/10 second accuracy from the VD57 calibre complete a chronograph built for those who push into the night. Japan movement backed, Seiko quality assured.

Why You'll Love It

The AM3A53X is a watch for people who know what they are looking at — and for those who discover it for the first time. The full lume dial is genuinely rare at this price point: most watches apply lume only to hands and indices, but here the entire dial surface glows, giving it a presence in low light that other watches simply cannot match. The Pepsi chapter ring is a nod to one of watchmaking's most celebrated bi-colour references, brought to an accessible chronograph without apology. The 1/10 second VD57 calibre gives it the technical credibility to match the visual ambition. A natural companion to the AM3A51X silver tonal dial for those who want both faces of the same precision story.
