Seiko Lord Marvel,1963,quadrante S.D. con indici in Oro 18 k. - Men - 1963

Splendid Seiko/Seikosha Lord Marvel model, 14-karat gold-filled case and 18-karat gold indices, SD Special Dial with a generous 35 mm diameter excluding the crown.

Considered by many as the "grandfather"/ancestor of the first-generation Grand Seiko (as noted in the last photo after asking Google’s Artificial Intelligence), in this model in excellent aesthetic condition with only a few very light signs of wear on the crown and case (photo).

Movement, in my opinion, of a high level; the real reason I bought this watch is the beauty of this mechanism, on par in my view with many great European brands of the era.

Also the line, which at first glance is classic and customary of the 1960s, nevertheless has a unique imprint that gives it an unmistakable personality.

A great collector’s piece, especially in these conditions, in my opinion much more than good.

As for its operation, the watch runs well and keeps time for several minutes, but having been carefully kept in a display case, it might require a cleaning or lubrication to optimize performance.
