1974 Seiko Quartz QZ – Ref. 0923-8020 – Blue Textured Dial – Kanji Day/Date

Introduced during the early days of Seiko’s quartz revolution, the 1974 Seiko QZ 0923-8020 represents both cutting-edge technology of its time and refined vintage design. Powered by the high-quality 0923 quartz movement, it offered accuracy and reliability at a time when quartz was still a luxury innovation.

The highlight of this model is its striking blue textured dial, which plays with light and adds depth to the watch’s understated design. Paired with sharp applied indices and slim hands, it embodies the elegance of Seiko’s early quartz era. The Kanji/English day-date display underlines its Japanese domestic market origin, making it a collectible piece with historical significance.
