Come summertime and the Philippines becomes an oven. Between temperatures that soar above 35°C and humidity that leaves you positively drenched in sweat, you need an outdoor watch that’s fit for the country’s heated climes.
Luckily for us, Alba has some of the best outdoor watches in the business. A subsidiary of esteemed watch manufacturer Seiko, Alba inherited some of the best techniques for making amazing outdoor watches that are not only tough and durable but stylish and wallet-friendly as well.
Get Ready For The Alba Active Collection
And if you want excellent outdoor watches, you should be heading to the Alba Active collection. These Alba durable watches have enticing features that make them perfect for the hot humidity of the Philippines.
First, most Alba Active timepieces are rated for 100m of water resistance. This is perfect for the occasional dip in the pool but also means that if your sweat soaks through your clothes, your watch is in no danger of internal corrosion. This comes in doubly handy when the rainy season comes along and you’re stuck out in the city without an umbrella.
And speaking of corrosion, the durable stainless steel cases are built exactly to resist rust. Toughness makes these true outdoor watches that can take some punishment. Alba watch durability is something you can count on.
Finally, inside each Alba watch is a reliable movement that can go through the unexpected with you. These quartz or mechanical movements are built to be sturdy partners for you.
With all these attributes, the Alba Active collection tags them as the best representation of outdoor watches for you to get.
