That is why we also ask for the model number. For many of Seiko's movements we know the first year they were produced and for most movements they were produced for less than 10 years. This helps us narrow down the decade. Using this additional information we can update our three examples: the was first made in so 1 is from or the was made from to so 2 is from the 7S36 was first made in so 3 is from or The second digit of the serial number is also useful.
