Original Seiko replacement dial, part no. 1400-0980 (dial code "JAPAN 1400 ⚡ 0980 R"), manufactured by Seiko (Hattori Seiko Co., Ltd.), Japan. Unused original part (New Old Stock, NOS) in the original Seiko blister packaging – in immaculate original condition.

The round dial features a warm, gold-colored finish with applied baton indices (gold/black) and fine minute markers. In the upper half, the lettering "SEIKO QUARTZ" with the "SQ" emblem; at the bottom edge, the factory designation "JAPAN 1400 0980 R". Pure time dial (central hands), without date cutout – a classic feminine dress design.

A sought-after original part for collectors, watchmakers, and restorers who wish to faithfully restore a small Seiko Quartz of caliber 1400.

Historical Classification: Caliber 1400 and Seiko's Dress World

The "SQ" emblem stands for Seiko Quartz, the high-volume Quartz world below the prestige lines King Quartz/Grand Quartz and the luxury dress lines Dolce/Exceline and Credor – those Quartz heirs to the claim that King Seiko and Grand Seiko had mechanically established. Notably, the Caliber 1400 even extends into this upscale ladies' world – it powered, among others, Exceline, the licensed Nina Ricci, and even Credor. Although this dial bears the simple "Seiko Quartz" signature, it technically belongs to precisely that small, high-quality ladies' Quartz family.
