Seiko Lord Matic – A refined daily watch from Japan’s mechanical golden age This Seiko Lord Matic represents an important stage in Seiko’s development around 1970, a period when the brand was rapidly expanding its mechanical lineup alongside Grand Seiko and King Seiko. The Lord Matic series was positioned as a practical yet technically refined watch for everyday use, aimed at business professionals during Japan’s period of high economic growth. Rather than being a simple entry model, Lord Matic watches were designed to deliver solid mechanical performance, modern usability, and clean, well-balanced design. This example is powered by Seiko’s 23-jewel automatic movement, Caliber 5606, known for its robustness and smooth winding characteristics. The dial features a day-date display with bilingual weekday indication (English and Japanese), a characteristic detail of many domestic-market Seiko watches from this era. Please note the following about the calendar function: The quick-set mechanism is not functional. Both the day and date can be adjusted by rotating the hands via the crown. As the day and date advance together, it may be necessary to move the hands back and forth several times to align them correctly. This behavior is clearly described for transparency and reflects typical usage on some vintage examples. The dial design is restrained and elegant, with applied hour markers and a well-proportioned case that wears comfortably on the wrist. With a case diameter of approximately 35.0 mm, it offers classic early-1970s proportions suitable for both casual and formal wear. The watch is fitted with a new leather strap, providing immediate wearability while complementing the vintage character of the piece. This Lord Matic is an honest and practical vintage Seiko, offering mechanical substance, historical context, and timeless design in one well-balanced package. Running at the time of listing. As a vintage watch, stable operation, accuracy, and water resistance are not guaranteed. The watch will be carefully packed and shipped with tracking for safe delivery.
