This sought-after high-beat Seiko Lord Marvel immediately commands attention with its exceptionally clean silver sunburst dial and historically significant caliber 5740C movement.

Brand: Seiko
Model: Lord Marvel
Reference Number: 5740-8000
Serial Number: 7003354
Movement: Manual winding, caliber 5740C, 23 jewels, 36,000 bph
Dial: Silver sunburst finish with applied silver-tone indices
Case Size: 35mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Stainless steel
Production Year: 1967
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Timegrapher: -20-24s/day, running strong and steady.
Dial and Hands
The well-preserved dial features a brilliant silver sunburst finish complemented by applied silver-tone indices and crisp black printed text. The surface remains exceptionally clean with no significant flaws visible. The dauphine style hands, finished with black center stripes, display light aging in the form of light oxidation and minor spotting visible under magnification.
Case and Crystal
The stainless steel case displays honest wear, with light scratches and normal wear visible on the polished surfaces. The lug edges remain reasonably defined, preserving the classic geometry of the 1960s profile. The polished bezel shows light surface scratches consistent with the case wear. A knurled, unsigned crown sits at the three o'clock position. The domed acrylic crystal is clear, presenting no major scratches or crazing.
Movement
Inside beats the manually wound caliber 5740C, clearly engraved with Seiko, 23 Jewels, 5740C, and Japan. The plates and bridges are clean, showing no visible corrosion or significant wear, with only minor marks present on some screw heads. The timegrapher records a rate of -20-24s/day. Performing well within expected vintage tolerances; running strong and steady.
Strap
The watch is fitted with a black leather strap featuring white contrast stitching and an unsigned clasp. The strap appears unworn or very lightly used, presenting a fresh character that pairs handsomely with the vintage dial.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. The dial is beautifully preserved, while the hands show minor spotting under magnification. The stainless steel case and bezel exhibit honest, age-related light scratches on their polished surfaces, retaining good overall definition. The movement remains very clean and, supported by the timegrapher reading of -20-24s/day, is running strong and steady.
Dimensions
The case measures 35mm, excluding the crown.
Remarks
This Lord Marvel is notable for its well-preserved silver sunburst dial and its highly regarded 36,000 bph movement. The classic dress proportions make it an immensely wearable and historically appealing addition to any collection.
History
The Lord Marvel line holds a distinguished place in Seiko's development of high-precision timepieces. The reference 5740-8000 is powered by the 23-jewel, manually wound caliber 5740C, which marked Seiko's important entry into high-beat movements. Operating at 36,000 beats per hour, this caliber demonstrated the brand's commitment to advancing mechanical accuracy during a highly competitive era of Japanese watchmaking.
