Citizen Original Dial 2820-261167 "Citizen Quartz" (square, black/gold, textured, applied indices) – NOS

Original Citizen replacement dial, part no. 6-261167 (dial code 2820-261167-Y), manufactured by Citizen Watch Co., Ltd. in Japan (factory code IPCE). Unused original part (New Old Stock, NOS) in original Citizen "純正部品 / Genuine Parts" round box.

The square dial with rounded corners (cushion/TV shape) features an elegant black with a fine, woven-like texture (waffle/linen look) and applied, polished gold baton indexes (double index at 12 o'clock). The top half bears the "CITIZEN QUARTZ" lettering, below which is the "CQ" emblem; at the bottom edge "JAPAN 2820-261167-Y". A pure time dial with central seconds, no date – the woven structure charmingly catches the light and sets this dial apart from plain matte variants.

A sought-after original part for collectors, watchmakers and restorers who want to authentically restore a square Citizen Quartz of caliber 2820 in the structured black-gold version.

Background: Citizen "CQ"

The "CQ" emblem stands for Citizen Quartz – Citizen's counterpart to Seiko's "SQ" signature and a hallmark of high-end Citizen quartz watches from the late 1970s/1980s. The applied gold indexes on structured black clearly elevate this dial above the simply printed variants.
