Seiko Chariot Tank 2220-3031 Hi-Beat Silver Sunburst Dial

The Seiko Chariot powered by the 2220 movement, is a manual winding caliber that operates at a high frequency of 28,800 beats per hour. Despite its compact size of only 17.2mm, it boasts a relatively high jewel count of 24 jewels, a notable feature for such a small movement.

One distinctive characteristic of the 2220 movement is its simplicity, featuring only hour and minute hands. The absence of a second hand contributes to the watch's classic and minimalist appearance.

This Seiko Chariot 2220-3031, produced in 1978, showcases a tank-shaped case with a striking silver sunburst dial. Its unique case design includes sharp, angled edges, combining brushed sides and a polished front, further complemented by minimalist stick indices and hands.

In great condition, the watch has a clean dial, with only minor hairline scratches on the case and crystal. It runs accurately with a good power reserve, and the manual winding function operates smoothly.

Historically, the Seiko Chariot series held a premium status in Seiko's lineup, even priced above the Lord Marvel series at the time, underscoring its prestigious position.
