Introduction This Seiko LM Special Ref. 5216-8020 is a highly attractive vintage automatic watch from Seiko’s respected Lord Matic (LM) series. Featuring a clean silver dial, applied indices, and a practical day-date display, it represents Japanese watchmaking at its peak during the early 1970s. Historical & Collector Value The Lord Matic Special line was positioned above standard Lord Matic models and produced in relatively limited numbers. These watches were equipped with higher-grade automatic movements and finer finishing, making them especially desirable among Seiko collectors today. The Cal. 5216 movement, with 23 jewels, offers both durability and smooth automatic winding. Models marked “LM Special” are increasingly difficult to find in original condition, and are valued as important examples of Seiko’s mechanical watch heritage just before the quartz era.
