At 12 o'clock, the printed \u003cstrong\u003eSEIKO QUARTZ\u003c\/strong\u003e lettering is located, below it the stylized \u003cstrong\u003eQuartz \"Q\" logo\u003c\/strong\u003e from the mid-1970s. Slim, faceted and applied baton hour markers, as well as a precise minute track, give the dial a clear, elegantly emphasized appearance. It is a time-only dial without a date aperture; at the bottom edge, the factory designation \"JAPAN 4120-9010 T\" can be found. The green \"QT\" marking on the box indicates its assignment to the Quartz line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA sought-after original part for collectors, watchmakers, and restorers who wish to faithfully restore a Seiko 4120-9010 (\"Chariot\") or a compatible model from the early 41-series Quartz family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBackground: Seiko's Early Quartz Era\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCaliber 4120 originates from the 41-series family developed by \u003cstrong\u003eSuwa Seikosha\u003c\/strong\u003e – one of Seiko's first mass-produced compact quartz movements (movement production started in June 1975). During this period, Seiko produced movements in two competing factories, \u003cstrong\u003eSuwa Seikosha\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eDaini Seikosha\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose rivalry had previously given rise to the top mechanical lines \u003cstrong\u003eGrand Seiko\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eKing Seiko\u003c\/strong\u003e. The same rivalry also drove the quartz race: At the forefront were \u003cstrong\u003eKing Quartz\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eGrand Quartz\u003c\/strong\u003e as direct quartz successors to these prestige lines, while the 41-series family presented here (Emblem\/Chariot) occupied the high-quality, but deliberately slimmer upper mid-range. The 4120 is thus one of the technical pioneers that paved the way for the later King and Grand Quartz models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hattori Seiko Co., Ltd.
