Case Material: Stainless steel
Production Year: 1968
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Timegrapher: +3+6s/day, performing remarkably well.

Dial and Hands
The pristine deep black dial presents a remarkably clean surface with no visible flaws or patina.

A Kanji day display adds distinctive character to the layout. The sharp, silver-tone dauphine hands remain exceptionally clean, showing no visible oxidation or corrosion.

Case and Crystal
The stainless steel one-piece front-loading case remains well-preserved, retaining its sharp lug geometry and crisp edges. The polished finish shows only light handling marks consistent with careful wear. A smooth polished bezel integrates beautifully with the case, displaying light hairline scratches. An unsigned knurled crown sits neatly at the side. The domed acrylic crystal is clear with minimal signs of wear, providing an unobstructed view of the dial.

Movement
Powering this timepiece is the automatic caliber 5606. The timegrapher records +3+6s/day. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece.

Strap
The watch is fitted with a functional black leather strap featuring a crocodile pattern. The strap is in good condition and pairs handsomely with the dark dial.

History
Introduced in 1968, the Lord Matic line was strategically positioned just below the King Seiko and Grand Seiko collections, offering sophisticated design and reliable automatic calibers to a discerning audience. The 5606 caliber became a foundational movement for Seiko during this period, appreciated for its robust architecture and refined performance. This model perfectly illustrates the clean aesthetics and technical capability that defined Seiko's late 1960s catalog.
