My Phasar watch

SeikoWatch · February 22, 2017

Hello, sorry for the poor image quality but I can not do better .. I found this afternoon this watch in a flea market. It was given to me and changing the battery, I see that it works very well. As the photo shows, it is quartz with a black dial but also analogue-digital-alarm-chronograph and the movement has only this: VA41A And it is a PHASAR. So my question is: what is the model really and who manufactures this brand and what is the composition of the case because I can not find anything except on Ebay that does not have my model .. Thanks In advance .

The movement maker seems to be a Morioka Tokei (maybe a seiko of some sort...)

No, I can't date it... but if I were to take a guess I'd say late 80s, early 90s... maybe?

This movement is also made under the Hattori, Pulsar and Shiojiri names (search for hattori VA41)

example here: http://www.startimesupply.com/product/VA41.html

It takes a 396 battery and can be substituted with a v041 movement, by the same makers.
