Seiko Chariot Automatic 2418-301A Tank Blue Sand Textured Dial

The 1974 Seiko 2418-301A is a rare and distinctive variant within the Seiko Chariot lineup. While most Chariots are known for their manual-winding movements, this model stands out with its automatic 2418 movement, maintaining the signature high-beat 28,800 bph characteristic of the series.

One of the most striking features of this watch is its captivating blue sand-textured dial. Enhanced by a tinted crystal, the dial shifts to a purple hue when viewed from different angles. The dial design is further accentuated by a uniquely positioned date window between the 4 and 5 o’clock markers, slim stick indices, and the absence of a seconds hand—resulting in a clean, minimalist aesthetic.

Encasing this beautiful dial is a tank-shaped case with elegantly curved sides and a brushed texture, retaining its sharp lines with no significant signs of aging. The dial remains pristine, with only minor scratches on the tinted crystal, visible only from certain angles.

The 2418 movement is keeping good time. With its unique combination of an automatic movement, an eye-catching dial, and vintage appeal, this Seiko Chariot is a rare collectible for any vintage watch enthusiast.
