With the summer season officially over and monsoon winds breezing across the country, turning over a new leaf with the passing of seasons means adjustments and changes to our daily outfits. The rainy season can get extreme in tropical countries like the Philippines, and failure to adapt can be catastrophic, leading to heavy losses.
Being unprepared under such circumstances and dressed poorly not only causes health risks but also damage to our accessories and necessities. Changing into season-appropriate outfits and bringing with us other rainy season essentials isn’t enough. We also have to reconsider our choice of everyday accessories.
You’d obviously need a water-resistant watch for the rainy season, and something with a decent water resistance rating as part of your rainy season essentials.
But it doesn’t stop there; durability is something that we should consider as well, other than simply having decent water resistance ratings, because in worst cases, you won’t just be scurrying away from the sudden downpour for the nearest shelter. You might end up struggling against strong winds, the possibilities of treading through floods, and the chaos accompanying these kinds of situations can bring about other unforeseen risks that demand the reliability of a durable watch.
Something that wouldn’t yield under intense situations like those. Something like Alba Active watches.
We’ll also be featuring some of the latest additions in the Alba Active Collection with today’s blog, so be sure to check them out below!
AS9K81X1 Active Black: Sizzling with style on a rainy day
The AS9K81X1 is part of the latest additions to the Alba Active Collection, showcasing a redefined take on a practical timepiece with a modern twist. The sleek carbon fiber dial is reminiscent of a sports car dashboard, with outer dial markers paired with high-contrast tapered pencil watch hands and indices that offer good visibility even during intense downpours. This stylish textured dial also features a date window.
The Caliber VJ42 Quartz Movement used in this Alba Active watch allows for a slim, minimalist profile and stainless-steel casing size of just 40mm in diameter, making it an easy fit for most wrists. This is also secured with durable mineral crystal glass and a 5 Bar water resistance rating, making it an indispensable inclusion to your rainy season essentials.
The stainless-steel bracelet ensures that not only does this durable watch stay safe during the rainy season, but it is also comfortable to wear for prolonged periods as an everyday accessory.
Its classic black and silver colorway delivers a professional edge, complementing business attire and casual weekend fashion with refined versatility and reliability that doesn’t bend in the elements and unrelenting rain during typhoon season.
AS9K83X1 Active Blue: Confidence and class without the rainy season blues
The AS9K83X1’s aesthetics bridge the gap between formal and daily wear watches. As part of the recent additions to the Alba Active Collection, this variant features a blue carbon fiber dial with contrasting yellow indices, the same tapered pencil watch hands, and a date window.
Inside the 40mm stainless-steel casing lies the reliable Caliber VJ42 Quartz Movement, purpose-driven and specifically built for an active-wear lifestyle like its other variants in the Alba Active Collection. The versatile dial design and proportionate casing size are protected by durable mineral crystal glass and a solid 5 Bar water resistance rating.
With its robust stainless-steel bracelet, getting caught in a sudden rain as you cross the street eliminates the worries associated with leather straps, while complementing the overall modern minimalist profile for an everyday accessory.
And whether you’re taking this practical timepiece for a weekend date or a regular day at work, the AS9K83X1 proves that you don’t have to sacrifice prestige for practicality, so save a spot for it among your rainy season essentials.

Keep your head up and spirits high even while riding through this rainy season’s vicious thunderstorms with the Alba Active AS9K85X1. Its vibrant carbon fiber dial, with contrasting blue inner rim accents, provides an uplifting sight for tired eyes.
The high-visibility indices and tapered pencil watch hands ensure visibility even during a harsh downpour, and it also features a date window. The striking choice of colors might seem odd at first, but given the circumstances and the reflective textured dial, it provides a substantial amount of presence amidst the chaos.
The Caliber VJ42 Quartz Movement powering this vibrant, water-resistant watch is framed by a 40mm diameter stainless-steel case and mineral crystal glass. At the same time, its 5 Bar water resistance rating guarantees it’ll live through all the storms nature could throw at it.
Its stainless-steel bracelet provides maximum durability and reliability to go with these features, so you can ease your worries away as you brave the storm with this practical timepiece, along with the rest of your rainy season essentials.
Rainy season gear doesn’t always have to be dull, and this little sunshine on the wrist demonstrates that.
