The Seiko caliber 5Y23A is a vintage quartz movement with a day-date calendar complication. Technical documentation for this caliber was found dated June 1988, so this movement was produced at least that long ago.

Similar Calibers:

The cal. 5Y23A shares the same technical documentation as calibers 5Y22A, 5Y30A, 5Y31A, 5Y32A, and 5Y39A.

Although they are all based on the same 5Y framework, there are various differences between them including the following:

  • 2-Hander – 5Y30A, 5Y39A
  • 3-Hander – 5Y31A, 5Y32A, 5Y22A, 5Y23A
  • No Day or Date – 5Y30A, 5Y31A
  • Date – 5Y32A, 5Y39A, 5Y22A
  • Day-Date – 5Y23A

The heights and diameters also vary slightly between the calibers, therefore they may not be fully interchangeable.

  • 24mm Outside Diameter – 5Y30A, 5Y31A, 5Y32A, 5Y39A
  • 25.4mm Outside Diameter – 5Y22A, 5Y23A
  • 2.1mm Thick – 5Y30A, 5Y31A
  • 2.5mm Thick – 5Y32A, 5Y39A
  • 2.7mm Thick – 5Y22A, 5Y23A

Watches with this movement:

The example of caliber 5Y23A pictured above was found in a Seiko watch with a case number of 5Y23-7089.

I like the rounded date window on your watch.

I really didn’t pay that much mind to the day/date window until you pointed that out. Although they made these a dime a dozen in the late 80s/early 90s, it’s a gorgeous little watch, and it’s very thin.

Am I guessing this is the Seiko variant of the Pulsar V733? Or is the V733 the Pulsar version of the VX33?
