A watch with ultimate ease of use

The ALBA Riki Standard Solar watch has a basic design that emphasizes the "watch quality" because of the popularity of smartphones and smart watches. While imagining the beautiful movements that can be confirmed with a wristwatch, it is a simple, easy-to-use, genderless watch that can be used by anyone in their daily lives.

After the war, when the word “design” had not yet taken root, the value of Japanese craftsmanship was reconsidered, and the question of what a better life would look like was pursued. Inheriting the spirit of Riki Watanabe, a product designer who lived in such an era, and placing value on "things that can be used for a long time," Riki's watches are made in Japan with a focus on reliability. Although it has a design that is loved over time, it seems to be a talisman that you want to wear at all times, as it is the closest to the "now" of the person who uses it.

Treasuring quality items for a long time

The watch ALBA Riki Standard Solar, which features a straight and clean shape, is a sustainable specification that does not require battery replacement as the dial absorbs light to charge and move the clock. A dial with Arabic numerals typical of Riki and a leather band with a basic design are used, and a special printing method is used to add thickness to increase visibility and make it look three-dimensional. Precisely because it is simple, the details give it an expression and make it a lively watch.

The band comes in 3 colors, “AKQD401/RED”, “AKQD402/CAMEL” and “AKQD403/BROWN”, which are popular among Riki, and has a modern design without stitching. Each case is a combination of high-class silver, gold, and pink gold, making it easy to use on a daily basis. The color of the glossy dial and numbers has also been finely adjusted to create a gentle and warm impression that is easy to see when worn on the wrist and fits in with modern life. Easy to put on and take off with a one-push buckle, this watch is easy to use for anyone.

No matter what scene you use it, it will continue to gently accompany your life, so I think it will be appreciated as a gift for your loved ones, or for those who want to choose simple and high-quality items.

Master of Industrial Design

In the 1940s, when design was not yet commonplace, he created numerous masterpieces based on the origin of design and function. Watch design can be said to be Mr. Watanabe's lifework, and he has created many watches that are loved over time based on the design base that the appearance must be light no matter how thick the letters and hands are used.
