Discover the Vintage Seiko Lord Matic, a stunning timepiece that continues the revered legacy of Seiko's iconic Lord Marvel Line. Renowned among watch enthusiasts, the Lord Marvel 36000 with the 5740C (36,000 bph) movement made a significant impact in the JDM market as the first high-beat watch. Building on this legacy, Seiko introduced the Lord Matic line in 1968, setting high expectations that the Lord Matic has successfully surpassed.
The Seiko Lord Matic 5606-7190 showcases Seiko's commitment to excellence with its sophisticated 56 series movement and high-quality case design. Launched in 1968, the Lord Matic quickly became a sought-after model, featuring the ubiquitous Seiko 5605 mechanical movement. This movement not only powered the Lord Matic but also laid the groundwork for higher beat variants in many automatic King Seiko and Grand Seiko models of the early to mid-1970s.
Rare Dial and Case Design Configuration: This specific model features a rare case style, unlike the usual fully polished or burshed finished case and those with more simple lug on Lord Matic, this Lord Matic 5606 have a more complex and multimentional lug that we can feel Seiko designer are using this as an experiment on their design landguage and we do not see this style of multidimentional narrow lug in other Lord Matic reference. Makes this watch more collectable. It's another way to showcase Seiko's Grammar of Design principles and give the watch a more modern case shape in my opinion.
Roman Numeral Linen Dial: The white dial, adorned with elegant Roman numerals, exudes a classical charm rarely seen in the Lord Matic lineup. The applied “Seiko” and “LM” logos add a touch of sophistication, while the day-date window at 3 o’clock balances functionality with style.
Elegant Hands: Featuring a thin black hand, the design that match perfectly with the minimlist design of the watch.
Despite its 50-year history, the Lord Matic 5606-8031 remains in outstanding condition. The original crystal, smooth-running 5606 automatic movement, and overall mint appearance make it a reliable and attractive addition to any vintage watch collection.
If you're looking to delve into the rich world of vintage Seiko watches, the Lord Matic 5606-8031 is the perfect entry point. Its unique design, historical significance, and impeccable condition make it a remarkable piece for both new and seasoned collectors.
