Brand: Seiko
Model: Lord Matic
Reference Number: 5606-7010
Serial Number: 801210
Movement: Automatic, caliber 5606, 25 jewels
Dial: Linen texture with Kanji day-date
Case Size: 36mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Gold-plated, stainless steel caseback
Production Year: 1968
Condition: Good vintage condition. Timegrapher: +35+40s/day, running strong and steady.
Dial and Hands
The dial presents a well-preserved linen texture with a clean primary surface, showing only minor dust or spotting near the outer edges. The typography remains crisp, displaying the Seiko and Lord Matic signatures alongside the 25 Jewels designation. A notable feature is the day-date aperture equipped with a Kanji day wheel. The hands exhibit an aged character, with visible oxidation and spotting on their surfaces, while the central black stripes remain intact.
Case and Crystal
The 36mm gold-plated case features a classic Lord Matic geometry with a one-piece front-loading design and a stainless steel caseback. The case displays honest wear, including plating wear on the sharp edges and lugs, light surface scratches, and areas of tarnishing. A knurled crown sits at the three o'clock position. The domed acrylic crystal shows light surface scratches that become visible at certain angles.
Movement
The watch is powered by the caliber 5606, a 25-jewel automatic movement equipped with a hacking seconds function and a day-date display. The timegrapher records +35+40s/day. Performing well within expected vintage tolerances; running strong and steady.
Strap
The watch is fitted with a black leather strap that appears unworn and is in excellent condition.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The well-preserved dial contrasts with the honest wear on the gold-plated case, which shows tarnishing, light scratches, and plating wear on the lugs and sharp edges. The hands display visible oxidation and spotting. The timegrapher records +35+40s/day. Performing well within expected vintage tolerances; running strong and steady.
Dimensions
The case measures 36mm in diameter, excluding the crown.
Remarks
This Lord Matic offers a compelling combination of a textured linen dial and a Kanji day wheel. Housed in a classic front-loading case, it represents a highly authentic expression of late-1960s Seiko design.
History
Introduced in the late 1960s, the Seiko Lord Matic line was positioned as a premium offering, sitting just below the King Seiko and Grand Seiko collections. The series is closely associated with the caliber 5606, a sophisticated 25-jewel automatic movement that brought hacking seconds and a day-date display to a broader audience. These models frequently featured elegant case geometries and textured dials, reflecting Seiko's evolving design language during this highly productive period in Japanese watchmaking.
