Solar Powered. Zero Batteries. Always Running.

The Alba AZ5013X is a men's Active solar chronograph that draws its power from light itself. The VR42 solar calibre charges from any light source — indoor or outdoor — eliminating the need for battery changes entirely. A power reserve indicator lets you see exactly how much charge remains at a glance. The deep blue sunburst dial carries a 30-minute chronograph accurate to 1 second, a 24-hour indicator, and a fixed bezel with elapsed-time scale — a complete sport timing package on a 43.8mm case with 100M water resistance. Japan movement backed, Seiko quality assured.
