Its principle is constant: a case reduced to the essentials, a dial without complications, and a quartz movement chosen for the slimness it allows. This reference, with its 5.2mm thickness, is a direct illustration of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the dial show IIII and not IV?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is the watchmakers' IIII, an old usage retained on a large number of Roman numeral dials, on both watches and public clocks. Many explanations have been put forward and none has reached a consensus; what is certain is that it is a trade convention and not a printing error.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the green specks on the outer edge of the dial?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThese are marks caused by humidity over the decades, where the lacquer meets the edge of the dial. They are located along the lower left edge, do not reach the numerals or the centre, and do not progress any further as long as the watch is kept dry. Our photographs show them in close-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the strap be changed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The Lug width measures 17mm, a standard size that allows for all commercially available straps. The fitted leather strap is not original: it can be replaced without any constraint specific to the case, unlike watches with integrated lugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this piece suitable for a slim or larger wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 30.5mm wide, 35mm Lug-to-lug and 5.2mm thick, it suits wrists of around 15 to 18cm — a guide, never a rule: everyone wears what they like. Its short lugs and curved sides allow it to sit flat, including on a slender wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54727375978833,"sku":"122667 6030-5320","price":378.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/montre-seiko-dolce-6030-5320-tonneau-cadran-noir-romain-1981-atelier-victor-1.jpg?v=1789538484","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/vintage-seiko-dolce-watch-6030-5320-black-roman-dial-1981","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
