Alba Mechanical Watches
Alba Mechanical is for buyers who want an automatic movement as part of the pleasure of the watch. That is a different priority from choosing quartz for a simpler set-and-go routine.

Alba Mechanical buying guide
Two substantial cases, different characters
AL4543X1 has a blue-to-black gradation dial in a 43 mm steel case. AL4719X1 moves to 44 mm and a cream dial. Both use the Y676 automatic movement and a steel bracelet, so the change in colour and size does more to separate these two than the movement does.
A view of the movement is a separate choice
AL4719X1 has a see-through case back and a 10 bar water rating; AL4543X1 has a 20 bar rating. Do not assume that every Mechanical model includes the same back or calendar display. If the automatic movement is less important than sporty styling, Alba Active offers another starting point.
