Designed for the domestic market, the series utilized high-quality automatic movements, most notably the 5600 family, which also served as the foundation for King Seiko calibers of the era. The Lord Matic series is celebrated by collectors today for its refined case geometry, excellent finishing, and reliable mechanical construction, representing a highly respected era of Japanese watchmaking. / Second Vintage SKU: SEI-LLM-0004
