Vintage Watch | Seiko Lord Matic 5606 [Mint as New Old Stock]

Introducing the Vintage Seiko Lord Matic, a remarkable successor to Seiko's renowned Lord Marvel line. Watch enthusiasts may be familiar with the Lord Marvel 36000, featuring the 5740C (36,000 bph) movement, which holds a special place in the JDM market as the first true high-beat watch. Seiko's vision for the Lord Matic line was to carry on the esteemed legacy of the Lord Marvel, and with their exceptional design prowess, they succeeded.

Launched in 1968, the Lord Matic line featured sophisticated 56 series movements and high-quality case designs and finishes. Positioned just below the King Seiko line, the Lord Matic quickly gained market demand, with its 5605 movement becoming one of the most ubiquitous Seiko mechanical movements of its time. The technical development of the Lord Matic 5605 movement also laid the foundation for higher-beat variants used in many early to mid-1970s automatic King Seiko and Grand Seiko models.

The Lord Matic series showcases a wide range of dial and case configurations. This specific Vintage Seiko Lord Matic 5606-7001S we're presenting features a rare sunburst grey dial and a multi-dimensional mirror polish finished case, preserved in factory-fresh condition. Adhering to Seiko's Grammar of Design, the unique case shape allows the watch to capture and reflect sunlight, making it a true conversation starter. The watch hands are mirror-finished with a distinctive black dashed line, a design unique to vintage Seiko timepieces from the 70s. The overall condition of this Vintage Lord Matic is simply outstanding.

Discovering a close to near-new old stock watch with all original parts is a rare find in today's market. Don't miss your chance to own this exceptional Vintage Seiko Lord Matic.
