The Seiko Chariot is powered by the 2220 movement, 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 particular Seiko Chariot, crafted in a tank shape, showcases a silver sunburst dial from 1978. It exudes elegance and is a favored tank-style watch, distinguished by its unique sharp case design along the edges. The polished case, complemented by simple indices, houses a movement that beats at 28,800 beats per hour, ensuring both accuracy and a respectable power reserve.
A fascinating historical tidbit is that during its time, the Seiko Chariot series was priced higher than the Lord Marvel series, reflecting its premium status in the Seiko lineup.
