Discover the Vintage Seiko Lord Marvel 36000: A High Beat Marvel

Introducing the Seiko Lord Marvel 36000, a timepiece that transformed the Japanese watchmaking industry in the 1960s. As the first true high beat movement in Japan and the second in the world, this Vintage Seiko watch stands as a testament to Seiko's innovative spirit.

Vintage Seiko dress watches are renowned for their superior finishing and technological advancements, and the Lord Marvel is a prime example. Despite the prominence of the Grand Seiko and King Seiko lines, Seiko awarded the pioneering high beat movement to the Lord Marvel. This decision underscored the line’s role as a technological trailblazer within the brand.

The Birth of High Beat Seiko

During the 1960s, most watch movements operated at 18,000 beats per hour. However, Seiko aimed to enhance accuracy with a high beat movement. Following Girard Perregaux's introduction of the first 10 beats per second movement, Seiko launched the manual winding caliber 5740C. This groundbreaking movement, running at 36,000 bph, was the first of its kind in Japan and the second globally.
