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.

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.
