Brand: Seiko
Model: LM
Reference Number: 5606-8130
Serial Number: 5N1177
Movement: Seiko automatic, caliber 5606, day/date complication
Dial: Green sunburst, applied indices, signed "Seiko Automatic" and "LM 23 Jewels"
Case Size: 36 mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Stainless steel
Production Year: 1975
Condition: Honest vintage condition with visible dial marks and wear. Running at -54s to -60s per day according to timegrapher, indicating a functional movement with room for future regulation.

Dial and Hands
The vibrant green sunburst dial exhibits pronounced depth and characteristic Seiko color play, with sunray brushing radiating from the center. Applied indices and original LM branding add vintage appeal. Visible age-related marks and patina throughout the dial lend character and authenticity. The original silver hands remain well-preserved, with lume plots having aged to a warm, creamy hue, underscoring its vintage character. The day-date display at 3 o’clock stays crisp and fully legible.

Case and Crystal
The stainless steel case features bold, angular lines typical of 1970s Seiko designs, with a clean brushed finish and highlighted faceting. Light surface scratches and gentle, even wear are present, reflecting careful use over decades. The crystal is free from major blemishes, with only minor scuffs consistent with age.

Movement
Powered by Seiko’s renowned automatic 5606 movement, this watch offers both day and date functions, renowned for long-term reliability. Based on timegrapher results, it is running at -54 to -60 seconds per day, indicating the movement is fully operational and could benefit from future regulation for optimal precision.
