Vintage Seiko Chariot – Ref. 2220-3031 – Hi-Beat Tank – Roman Numerals
This Seiko Chariot 2220-3031 is a refined vintage dress watch that showcases Seiko’s craftsmanship of the mid-1970s. Powered by the 2220 manual-wind movement, it beats at an impressive 28,800 bph (Hi-Beat), offering smooth timekeeping and precision in an ultra-slim profile.
The design is heavily inspired by classic tank-style watches, with sharp rectangular case lines that wear elegantly on the wrist. Its crisp white dial features Roman numeral hour markers, adding timeless sophistication and a distinctly formal look. Slim, elegant, and reliable, the Chariot Hi-Beat Tank remains one of Seiko’s finest vintage dress offerings.
