The dial bears a distinct code, here 5131, which identifies the dial alone. The caseback takes precedence over the dial when establishing the reference of a piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom what period do the Seiko quartz watches with calibre 4130 date?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe 4130 is found in Seiko from the mid-1970s: examples dated 1974, 1975 and 1976 can be found, notably in the Chariot series. The serial number of this piece indicates a year ending in 5, which places its production in 1975, consistent with the period of use of the calibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does a 30.5mm cushion case wear?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWidth alone does not tell the whole story: this case measures 30.5mm from side to side but 37mm from top to bottom, and its integrated lugs visually extend the case. It therefore takes up more space than a round watch of the same measurement, and suits wrists of approximately 15 to 18cm — a guide, never a rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan a 1970s quartz Seiko still be serviced?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBattery replacement and movement cleaning can be carried out without difficulty. Original electronic components, however, are no longer manufactured: for this type type of calibre, it is better to turn to a watchmaker accustomed to vintage quartz watches, who works with donor parts when a coil or circuit needs to be replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat strap for a Lug width with 19mm lug width?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e19mm is an odd measurement, less common than 18 or 20: it exists from most leather makers but takes some searching. A 20mm will not fit, and an 18mm leaves a visible gap on each side. The watch is delivered on a black crocodile-embossed leather strap already fitted in the correct size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Que signifie la référence 4130-5130 ?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Les références Seiko se lisent en deux parties : la première, ici 4130, désigne le calibre du mouvement ; la seconde, 5130, le code du boîtier, gravé au fond de boîte.
