Brand: Seiko
Model: Lord Marvel
Reference Number: D110141 15027E
Serial Number: 951845
Movement: Manual wind, 23 jewels
Dial: Silver sunburst with applied faceted indices and printed script logo
Case Size: 35mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Stainless steel
Production Year: 1960s
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Timegrapher: -26-30s/day, running strong and steady.
Dial and Hands
The dial is beautifully preserved, featuring a bright silver sunburst finish that interacts wonderfully with the light. Applied faceted indices provide depth and contrast, complemented by the elegant printed script logo and the distinctive SD star logo positioned above the six o'clock marker. The overall preservation is very clean. The original dauphine style hands complete the refined visual balance, showing minor oxidation and spotting visible under magnification.
Case and Crystal
The stainless steel case displays honest wear consistent with its age, showing moderate surface scratches along its profile. The smooth integrated bezel shows light surface scratches. The watch retains its snap-on caseback and is fitted with a knurled crown signed with the SW logo. A clear domed acrylic crystal protects the dial, presenting with no significant scratches visible.
Movement
Inside beats a clean Seikosha 23-jewel manual wind movement, featuring the DiaShock anti-shock system and operating at 18,000 vibrations per hour. The movement plates are clean, showing only minor surface marks, and bear clear engravings reading LORD MARVEL, SEIKOSHA, 23 JEWELS, and the serial number 951845. The timegrapher records -26-30s/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, displaying good condition.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. The dial remains beautifully preserved and highly attractive. The stainless steel case shows moderate surface scratches and honest wear consistent with age, while the smooth bezel displays light surface scratches. The dauphine hands display minor oxidation under magnification.
Dimensions
The case measures 35mm in diameter (excluding the crown).
Remarks
This Lord Marvel presents a compelling package with its highly attractive silver sunburst dial and elegant script logo. The clean Seikosha manual wind movement and classic dress watch proportions make this a superb addition for any collector of early Japanese horology.
History
Introduced in 1958, the Lord Marvel served as Seiko's first true luxury watch, positioned as a higher-end alternative to the standard Marvel. The reference 15027 was produced between January 1962 and October 1963, marking the conclusion of the first generation of Lord Marvel watches. It was among the earliest Lord Marvel models to feature a printed logo on the dial rather than an engraved one. Offered in three different case materials including stainless steel, it remains a highly respected and historically significant model line among vintage enthusiasts.
