This is truly a rare find and one of the most captivating dial executions Seiko produced during the 1970's. The unique Azurite green\/blue dial features a marbled pattern that shifts beautifully in changing light, creating depth and immediately drawing the eye to the dial. The rectangular stainless steel tank case offers a refined, classic profile with excellent proportions, making it equally suitable as a dress piece or an elevated casual watch. The case remains in honest vintage condition with light scuffs and hairline scratches consistent with age and appears to be unpolished. The case back dates production to July 1974. The dial is the star of the show, bold yet elegant, and remains in excellent condition for its age with no major visible patina. Under loupe, there is very fait white speckling between the ten and eleven o'clock markers that is not visible during normal wear. The Seiko logo and Roman numeral markers remain crisp and bright white, and the matching white hands are also in excellent condition. The mineral crystal shows only minor surface wear that is not distracting. The original crown is fitted with a green cabochon accent, adding a subtle but distinctive touch. Powering the watch is the legendary Seiko 2220A manual wind 24-jewel movement beating at 28,800 bph, considered a high-beat movement for it's time. The watch has been recently serviced in January 2026. It is paired with a black lizard grain leather strap featuring green contrast stitching that complements the dial beautifully. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrand: Seiko\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReference: 2220-3410\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMovement: Seiko 2220A manual wind 24 jewel 28,800bph\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYear: 1974 July\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Pre-owned\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase Material: Stainless Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDial: Azurite Green\/Blue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase Diameter: 27mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLug to Lug: 39mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase Thickness: 8mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLug Width: 22mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystal: Mineral\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater Resistance: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrap: Black Textured Lizard grain leather \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBox \u0026amp; Papers: No\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServiced: Yes (January 2026)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHOUGHTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standout feature of this watch is its rare and exceptionally compelling Azurite dial, which immediately sets it apart from the crowd. You're unlikely to encounter another person wearing this exact green\/blue dial variant, and that exclusivity makes it especially appealing. The way the dial shifts and comes alive under the light with its bicolor marbled effect, it gives it a subtle psychedelic vibe that captures the spirit if the 1970's in a way that feels bold, but still elegant. This is exactly what I love about Seiko, during this era they were producing uniquely creative dial designs while still delivering reliable well built mechanical movements. There are countless Seiko variants out there, but every so often you come across one that truly stops you in your tracks. I had never seen this particular configuration before, and once I confirmed it housed one of Seiko's high-beat manual wind movements, I knew it was something worth acquiring. If you've been searching for a dress watch that leans slightly more casual with a unique expressive flair, this would make an outstanding addition to a collection and is sure to be a conversation starter!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52795464024380,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/8797\/3948\/files\/20260204_201329_780f4816-3737-45e3-9bbf-07ea4ce87b55.jpg?v=1771966791","url":"https:\/\/morryandkrichy.com\/products\/1974-seiko-chariot-2220-3410-azurite","provider":"Morry \u0026 Krichy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
