Vintage Seiko Chariot “Cartier” 6030-5210 SGP 1980 Watch
In the late 1970s and 1980 Seiko released a whole range of models that had European or Swiss Influences on the design - because at that time everything Western was very popular in Japan.
This Seiko Chariot "Cartier Tank" Reference 6030-5210 is a perfect example of that. The black dial with golden roman numeral indices is clearly inspired by the style of watch Cartier made their Tank Model famous with, but with enough uniqueness (in for example the 30mm SGP case-shape) to still let it be a Vintage Seiko Watch.
It's a great true dress watch in dimensions too with 28mm case diameter and 37mm lug to lug. The 6030 Caliber made it possible to fit it in 6mm of thickness.
Since 2023 these models have been rediscovered and are a sought-after vintage seiko dress watch for collectors that love the cartier-esque style but dislike the price point.
I've paired it with a fresh new Herzog Smooth Leather Strap and matching gold-buckle (New Price €25!)
This is model CFS988 from 1981 Catalog costing 33,000 Yen!
