Here is a striking example of Seiko’s mid-century engineering: the Seiko LM (Lord Matic) ref. 5606-7150. Renowned for its robust automatic movement and timeless case design, this model represents one of the most versatile Japanese dress watches from the early 1970s. With a crisp silver sunburst dial, applied indices, and classic day-date complication, this piece combines daily practicality with understated elegance. The 37mm case delivers modern wrist presence, while the high-performance 5606 movement—serviced and performing exceptionally within +3 to +6 seconds per day with strong amplitude—ensures collector-grade reliability. An excellent addition to both Seiko aficionados and vintage enthusiasts seeking an authentic, well-preserved piece.
