Dolce was designed for the watch worn under a shirt, where the other Seiko lines of the same period were aimed at sport or diving. The name appears on the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Seiko 6030 calibre?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn analogue quartz movement from the upper range of Seiko, produced in the 1980s: eight jewels, 32,768 Hz oscillator, stated accuracy of around fifteen seconds per month. Its defining feature comes down to one figure: \u003cstrong\u003e2mm thick\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is what allows the case to remain at 5.1mm, Crystal included. Seiko also used it in its Credor and Emblem lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow can you tell the battery is weakening?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch tells you itself. The 6030 calibre incorporates an end-of-battery indicator: when the charge becomes low, the seconds hand stops advancing second by second and begins jumping two steps every two seconds. The time remains accurate; it is the signal that it should be taken to a watchmaker in the following weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the dial original?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The satin finish is even right to the edge, the markers are applied rather than printed, and the inscriptions — Seiko, Quartz, Dolce, and the reference code at the bottom of the dial — are sharp and correctly spaced, which a redial rarely achieves all at once. This dial has not been retouched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this piece suited to a slim or larger wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a width of 29mm, 34mm Lug-to-lug and a thickness of 5.1mm, it suits wrists of around 14 to 17.5cm — a guide, never a rule: everyone wears what they like. Its slimness matters here as much as its width: at 5.1mm, it disappears under a cuff. The Lug width measures 17mm, a size easily found for replacement straps.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55010481111377,"sku":"213701 6030-5500","price":1.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/VD_08176.jpg?v=1789811895","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/vintage-seiko-dolce-watch-6030-5560-octagonal-gold-plated-1982","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
