By the late 1970s the fight had moved from “can we make quartz” to “how thin and how dressy.” \u003cstrong\u003eDolce\u003c\/strong\u003e (ドルチェ) was Seiko’s answer for the Japanese dress market: extra-slim analog quartz, gold-tone or two-tone cases, quiet dials. It sat above everyday Seiko quartz and below Credor. Caliber 5930 also appears in Credor, Lassale and Chariot — the same thin Daini movement, different badges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0299\/7639\/5913\/files\/IMG_6906_600x600.jpg?v=1789056324\" alt=\"\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaliber 5930\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eDaini Seikosha, analog quartz, \u003cstrong\u003e6 jewels\u003c\/strong\u003e, 32,768 Hz, rated about \u003cstrong\u003e±15 seconds per month\u003c\/strong\u003e.
