The hang tag explicitly names Seiko Watch Corporation (セイコーウオッチ株式会社) as the issuer. The watch is specified with 5 bar water resistance (5気圧防水) and Seiko's luminous material LumiBrite (ルミブライト) – a comparatively comprehensive feature set for the brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe hang tag allows for a temporal classification: The stated ratio of net to gross price corresponds to a consumption tax of 5 percent, which was in effect in Japan from April 1997 to March 2014. The link originates from stock from this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe link has a gold-colored coating and a brushed finish. Replacement links are the critical wear and loss component for metal bracelets: Anyone who wants to extend a shortened band again – when reselling, after a change in weight, or if the watch changes owners – regularly faces the problem that the links that were removed at the time can no longer be found. With gold-colored bands, replacement is particularly difficult because, in addition to the dimensions, the color tone of the coating must also match; foreign links are immediately noticeable visually. Since ALBA models of this series have not been produced for years, original links are only available from remaining stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe link is unused. Due to storage, at most minor, purely cosmetic traces are possible, which do not impair the function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNote on attribution: The reference comes from the original hang tag. Since bands of the same design were used across several references, the link may also fit identical bands of other ALBA models. Please compare the band width, link length, and connection type with your own band before purchasing – ideally using a photo of the inside of the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eManufacturer: Seiko Watch Corporation, Japan (ALBA brand).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty (used)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an original part (NOS) stored for years.
