Unfortunately, the exact production date cannot be determined as Seiko does not print serial numbers for its limited edition watches. Quartzimodo's Time Journal.

This will present a problem because you may not be able to distinguish whether the watch was made in or The digits always range from 0 to 9.

The second digit denotes the production month. Seiko uses for January to September. October is represented by the number 0 zero, not the letter "O" while November and December are abbreviated to "N" and "D" respectively.

Comment by Quartzimodo Admin on March 21, am. To get the best chance of getting only one date returned it is best to enter your Seiko movement in the 2nd box.

The boxes are not case sensitive. The movement can contain the letter S, which can look very similar to a 5. Please note, the new Seiko 5 sports cannot be dated by serial number. If you have a or newer Seiko 5 sports, then the 6 digit serial is actually a production number and cannot be used for dating purposes. Wipe clean the face and back of your watch with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.

Turn over the watch face-down on a soft, cloth-covered surface to prevent scratching the watch face and dial. Using your magnifying glass, look carefully on the back plate and around the edges of the back cover for numbers and letters. Write down the series of numbers and letters you find engraved on the back of the watch. First numbers, from 1 to 9, represent the year of a decade in which the watch was made.

Letters represent the months of October, November and December. Each decade is represented in year spans using this format. The beginning of a new decade can present a problem because certain numbers overlap. The next character should represent the month, and can be a number or letter. Two sets of four-digit numbers with a dash between them represent the case and caliber numbers and can help you narrow down which decade you are working with.

The first four digits represent the movement.
