Seiko Lord Matic 5606-7000 – Automatic – 23 Jewels – Kanji Day-Date – Japanese National Railways (JNR)

Offered for auction is this beautiful vintage Seiko Lord Matic, reference 5606-7000, a wonderful example of Japanese watchmaking with an especially interesting connection to Japanese National Railways (JNR).

The Lord Matic series was positioned as one of Seiko's more refined automatic watch lines, combining elegant styling with sophisticated mechanical movements. This example features the well-known Seiko calibre 5606 automatic movement with 23 jewels, together with a practical day and date complication.

The watch has a beautiful silver sunburst dial, which changes character depending on the light. The applied gold-tone hour markers and matching hands contrast wonderfully against the silver background, while the applied Seiko logo and distinctive LM emblem immediately identify the watch as part of the Lord Matic family.

At 3 o'clock you will find the day-date display, including the wonderful Japanese Kanji day indication. Both the day and date functions operate correctly.

The watch is fully functional and running beautifully. The automatic movement has been tested and is keeping good time, with the day and date mechanism also functioning as intended. It is therefore ready to be worn and enjoyed by its next owner.

Perhaps the most interesting detail of this particular example can be found on the caseback. Alongside the original Seiko markings and reference number is a Japanese commemorative engraving which includes 日本国有鉄道 — Japanese National Railways (JNR), the former state-owned railway organisation of Japan.

This indicates a fascinating historical connection between the watch and Japanese National Railways and strongly suggests that it was originally presented or awarded in connection with JNR. The exact occasion for which the watch was presented has not been independently documented, so no claim is made regarding the individual recipient or precise circumstances of the award. Nevertheless, the surviving JNR engraving gives this particular Lord Matic a wonderful additional piece of Japanese provenance and sets it apart from an ordinary 5606-7000.

The gold-tone angular case is unmistakably characteristic of its period and complements the silver dial beautifully. The watch is currently fitted with a black leather strap, creating a very elegant combination.

As can be expected from a genuine vintage watch, the case and gold-tone finish show visible signs of previous use and age, including scratches, marks and areas of wear. The leather strap also shows signs of use. These have deliberately been left visible and contribute to the authentic character and history of the watch.

Please study the photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and provide the best representation of its cosmetic condition.
