• Description

This SEIKO 2418-0030 belongs to the Chariot collection and features a distinctive textured dial reminiscent of traditional Japanese washi paper, combined with elegant Roman numeral hour markers.

At its heart is the Cal.2418 automatic Hi-Beat movement, a compact 23-jewel caliber operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour. Despite the watch's slim and refined proportions, the movement offers automatic winding, hand-winding capability, and a practical date display, making it an interesting piece of vintage SEIKO engineering.

The combination of the washi-like textured dial, Roman numerals, compact stainless steel case, and Hi-Beat mechanical movement gives this Chariot a distinctly Japanese vintage character. It is particularly appealing to collectors looking beyond the better-known Grand Seiko and King Seiko lines.

Produced in November 1973, this example was serviced in July 2026 and is running with a measured daily rate of approximately +3 to +18 seconds.
