Brand: Seiko
Model: Lord Matic
Reference Number: 5606-7230
Serial Number: 359288
Movement: Automatic, caliber 5606A, 25 jewels
Dial: Green gradient with applied indices
Case Material: Stainless steel
Production Year: 1973
Condition: Good vintage condition. Timegrapher: +60+63s/day, running in operational condition.
Dial and Hands
The striking and well-preserved dial features a vibrant green gradient finish that immediately draws the eye. Its clean overall appearance shows minimal signs of aging, providing a rich background for the applied indices and logos, which remain in good condition. The original baton hands are fitted with luminous material and display minor oxidation visible on the metal surfaces under magnification.
Case and Crystal
The stainless steel case and polished bezel display honest vintage wear. Scratches and scuffs are visible across the polished surfaces, and the case edges have slightly softened from normal use over the decades. An unsigned knurled crown is positioned on the side of the case. The watch is fitted with a distinctive faceted crystal that heavily defines its visual character, currently showing scratches and minor edge wear.
Movement
Powering this timepiece is the Seiko caliber 5606A, a 25-jewel automatic movement. The visible plates and rotor present a clean appearance with no obvious signs of corrosion or damage. The movement bridges are clearly marked with the SEIKO, 25 JEWELS, and JAPAN 5606A engravings. Recording +60+63s/day on the timegrapher. Running in operational condition. Maintains the authentic mechanical character of the watch.
Strap
The watch is paired with a complementary brown leather strap featuring contrast stitching. The strap is in good condition, showing light signs of use.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The stainless steel case and bezel exhibit honest wear, including visible scratches, scuffs, and slightly softened edges. The faceted crystal displays scratches and minor wear along its edges. The green gradient dial remains exceptionally clean, while the original hands show minor oxidation under magnification. The movement presents very cleanly.
Dimensions
The case measures 36.5 mm in diameter (excluding the crown) with a lug width of 19 mm.
Remarks
This Seiko Lord Matic offers a highly desirable configuration for enthusiasts of 1970s design. The pairing of the vibrant green gradient dial with the distinctive faceted crystal creates a compelling visual presence, making it a charismatic addition to any collection of classic Japanese timepieces.
History
Introduced in 1968, the Seiko 5606 caliber is a well-regarded mechanical automatic movement that operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. It was designed with practical daily wear in mind, featuring both manual winding capabilities and a hacking function to stop the seconds hand for precise time setting. While the Lord Matic line was a popular and successful series for Seiko, examples featuring vibrant colored dials and intact faceted crystals are sought after by collectors today for their strong period character.
