Vintage Seiko Lord Matic 5606-7140 – Exquisite Classic Timepiece

Embrace Heritage with the Seiko Lord Matic Vintage Watch

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.

Timeless Design and Superior Craftsmanship

The Seiko Lord Matic 5606-7140 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.
