The cushion-shaped dial (square with rounded corners) features an elegant, gold-colored finish with Florentine texture and applied, polished gold indices (double index at 12) as well as fine minute track. In the upper half, the lettering "CITIZEN QUARTZ", below it the "CQ" emblem (Citizen Quartz logo); at the bottom edge, the factory designation "JAPAN 2820-266509-Y". A time-only dial with central seconds, without date – a high-quality dress design.

A sought-after original part for collectors, watchmakers and restorers who want to authentically restore a Citizen Quartz caliber 2820 (cushion shape).

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 of the late 1970s/1980s. The applied indices and the Florentine gold background elevate this dial above the simply printed standard dials.
