Brand: Seiko Model: Lord Matic Reference Number: 5606-7360 Serial Number: 522799 Movement: Automatic Caliber 5606 Dial: Brown Gradient with Faceted Crystal Case Size: 36 mm Case Material: Stainless Steel Production Year: 1975 Condition: Good vintage condition Dial and Hands The dial is the standout feature of this timepiece, presenting a deep brown bronze tone with a subtle sunburst gradient effect. It is viewed through an original faceted crystal which plays with the light, creating geometric reflections changing with every angle. The applied gold-tone baton hour markers and matching handset are in sharp condition. The framed day-date window at the 3 o'clock position features a Kanji and English day wheel, adding a desirable touch of JDM heritage. Case and Crystal The stainless steel case features the distinct cushioned curves typical of the mid-1970s. As a vintage piece, it shows visible signs of wear with uniform surface scratches and marks across the bezel and case sides, consistent with honest use. The faceted crystal is intact and preserves the unique visual experience of the dial, though it may show minor evidence of age. The case lines remain defined, preserving the original silhouette of the watch. Movement Powering the watch is the respected Seiko Caliber 5606 automatic movement, a 25-jewel engine that served as the backbone for Seiko's mid-tier luxury lines. The movement appears clean, with some visible oxidation on the rotor weight typical for this reference. Timegrapher testing indicates the watch is running between +38 and +45 seconds per day, which indicates healthy movement operation offering reliable vintage performance. Strap The watch remains on its original stainless steel link bracelet, complete with the signed "LM" clasp. The bracelet matches the case in finish and condition, showing moderate stretch and surface wear. It is currently sized to fit a wrist of approximately 18cm. Condition This timepiece is rated in Good vintage condition. It shows clear and noticeable signs of wear throughout the external case components and bracelet, which is expected for an unpolished watch from 1975. However, the dial remains in excellent preservation, free from significant spotting or damage, ensuring the watch remains highly presentable and attractive on the wrist. Dimensions The case measures 36 mm in diameter excluding the crown, a classic size that offers a comfortable and proportionate presence on the wrist suitable for modern wear. Remarks The Seiko Lord Matic "Faceted" series represents one of the most creative periods in Seiko's history. This brown-dialed variant is particularly collectible due to the warmth of the color palette combined with the sharp geometry of the glass. It is a charismatic watch that bridges the gap between a dress watch and a conversation piece. History Introduced in the late 1960s, the Lord Matic (LM) series was positioned by Seiko as a high-grade automatic line, sitting directly beneath King Seiko and Grand Seiko in the catalogue. These watches were equipped with the advanced 5606 caliber, which offered hacking and hand-winding capabilities. By the mid-1970s, the line evolved to include more experimental case shapes and faceted crystals, reflecting the bold fashion trends of the decade. Today, the LM series is revered for offering exceptional build quality and iconic 70s design. Payment and Shipping Payment must be completed within 1-3 days after purchase.
