Turquoise-Stone: Pre-Credor Chariot
Seiko Chariot Tiffany-Turquoise, Pre-Credor StoneDial
- Time (Hour, Minute)
WHY WE LOVE IT? Because it is something so beautiful and at the same time exalted; artfully-manufactured with the best of the best in stones: turquoise, flawless.
Sure, there are stonedials some beautiful and some interesting. And then there is turquoise -- always outstanding. The crown of this stone: the top-quality turquoise that is so clean, so clear, so Tiffany-blue and without any clouds and minerals that you have to look twice, or trice.
The Chariot was made in 1973-June and was made in two variants: the more common but not less beautiful yellowgold with Jade-dial and this whitegold with a unique Turquoise-stonedial. We assume Seiko made in total less than 300 pieces of this reference, with the majority in yellowgold with Jade-dial (>200 pcs) and significantly less than 100 examples in this exclusive setting: turquoise in whitegold.
The watch is in very good and probably unpolished condition, with the original hammered bezel and the accented & faceted 18K-whitgeold case. The caseback shows deep stamps and proves: this is one of the first of these icons ever made in June 1973.
