Brand: Seiko
Model: LM "Gradient Green Sunburst"
Reference Number: 5606-7310
Serial Number: 526489
Movement: Automatic (27s to 35s/day on timegrapher)
Dial: Gradient green sunburst with gold-tone markers, day-date at 3 o’clock
Case Size: 37 mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Stainless steel
Production Year: 1975
Condition: Excellent, original vintage condition with light, honest wear; running within vintage tolerances, with timegrapher results of +27 to +35 seconds per day, indicating healthy movement performance.

Dial and Hands
The original gradient green sunburst dial is the true highlight of this watch, presenting a beautiful shift from emerald to olive tones depending on the light. Gold-tone applied indices and dauphine hands add warmth and elevate the sophisticated 1970s aesthetic. The lume on hands and indices has gracefully aged to a subtle patina, amplifying the watch’s vintage charm. The crisp day-date display at three o’clock completes this elegant and functional layout.

Case and Crystal
The 37 mm stainless steel case retains its defined lines and factory brushing, showing only minor signs of gentle wear. The rare facet-cut crystal is a standout feature, its angular edges scattering light and enhancing the dial’s brilliance. The case maintains a robust and attractive profile, with no major dings or scratches visible.

Movement
Fitted with Seiko’s reliable automatic movement, this Lord Matic model is performing well within vintage tolerances. Timegrapher readings show a daily rate of +27 to +35 seconds, confirming the movement’s healthy operation. The quickset day-date mechanism functions cleanly, delivering both reliability and convenience.

Strap
The original-style multi-link stainless steel bracelet fits wrists up to approximately 17cm. The bracelet is comfortable, secure, and perfectly complements the watch’s angular case architecture.

Condition
This Seiko LM remains in excellent vintage condition. The gradient green dial is vibrant and original. Case lines and brushing are well-preserved and crisp. The facet-cut crystal is clear with only minor age-appropriate marks. The bracelet and case show light wear consistent with careful use. The watch is running within vintage tolerances, supported by strong timegrapher performance data.

Dimensions
Case diameter: 37 mm (excluding the crown)
Fits wrist size: up to 17 cm

Remarks

History
