History The Seiko Lord Matic series was introduced in 1968 as a premium automatic watch positioned just below the King Seiko and Grand Seiko lines. The 5600 series calibers developed for the Lord Matic line were highly successful and were later refined for use in King Seiko and Grand Seiko watches. The caliber 5606 is a 23-jewel automatic movement that features both manual winding and hacking capabilities. Payment and Shipping Payment must be completed within 1–3 days after purchase.
