## History

Using Seiko's own family of movements but with modern styling designed to appeal to younger customers, Alba watches are primarily aimed at Asian[3] and Middle Eastern markets in the hope of creating long-term loyalty to the Seiko group as these customers' purchasing power increases.[4] The word 'Alba' translates to 'dawn' in Italian, and Spanish.[5]

Alba has often adopted parent company Seiko's watch designs, notably those of Italian automotive designer Giorgetto Giugiaro.[6]
