Early 1980s Seiko Chariot dress watch drawing inspiration from the classic Ronde de Cartier, with a traditional round case and a particularly well-executed formal dial. The white enamel features black Roman numerals and a Cartier-style chemin-de-fer minute track, paired with elegant black sword hands. A coin-edge bezel adds subtle texture to the otherwise minimal gold-tone case.
The dial and hands show no visible wear, and the Hardlex crystal remains very clean. The case has some light signs of wear, and overall the watch is in very good vintage condition. It is paired with a new handmade brown textured calfskin strap with a matching gold-tone buckle.
The watch is modeled on a 16cm (6.3 inch) wrist.

Quality vintage watches are durable and designed for regular wear, but should still be treated with care due to their age. Like all vintage watches, this piece is no longer considered water resistant. It is currently running well at the time of listing, though future servicing or adjustment may eventually be required, like any watch of its age.
