A relic of the high-octane partnership between Seiko and Nissan, the ALBA R390 “Super Dimension” is a bold, unapologetically sporty chronograph from the 1990s that screams racing pedigree. Born out of a collaboration with Nissan’s legendary R390 GT1 racing project, this watch wears its motorsport DNA on its dial, literally. From the “R390 NISSAN” logo stamped near 3 o’clock to the bold pushers, tachymeter bezel, and tri-compax chronograph layout, it’s a full-throttle design meant to live on the wrists of enthusiasts who crave adrenaline and precision. The black and gold contrast of the dial and subdials nods to racing instrument panels, while the oversized markers and red accents amplify its aggressive stance.
Encased in a robust 40mm stainless steel case with black resin surrounds, this Seiko V655-8000 doesn’t just look the part, it performs. Its quartz chronograph movement ensures reliable, to-the-second accuracy, and the 12mm thickness gives it a sturdy, wrist-hugging presence. The “Super-Dimension” engraving on the bezel adds that bit of quirky 90s flair, making it both a tool and a conversation starter. This isn’t your typical vintage Seiko, it’s a rare beast born from the track, built for the streets, and made for collectors who appreciate the fusion of motorsport and watchmaking heritage.
