Get your hands on this serviced vintage Seiko Lord Marvel 36000 from 1969 with legendary 36,000 bph hand-wound movement, clean steel case, and silver dial. A true high-beat classic. Model History: The Seiko Lord Marvel 36000 stands as a milestone in Japanese horology. First introduced in the late 1960s, it was one of the very first wristwatches to feature a high-beat 36,000 vibrations-per-hour movement. The 5740C hand-wound caliber offered exceptional precision, and it laid the groundwork for the development of the Grand Seiko Hi-Beat series. The Ref. 5740-8000 is particularly sought after for its minimalistic design, high-grade finishing, and historical importance as a pioneering high-beat dress watch produced entirely in-house by Seiko's Suwa division.
