Remarks This Lord Matic stands out for its fantastic brown gradient dial and the character of its faceted crystal. Complete with its original signed bracelet and a recently serviced movement, it represents a highly wearable and visually captivating example of 1970s Seiko design. History The Lord Matic line was introduced by Seiko in the late 1960s as an upper-mid-tier offering, positioned just below the prestigious King Seiko and Grand Seiko collections. Powered primarily by the 5600 series of movements, the LM range became a canvas for Seiko's adventurous 1970s design language. Models from this era frequently featured vibrant colored dials, faceted crystals, and distinctively angular case geometries. The caliber 5606 provided a reliable automatic foundation with day and date complications, making the Lord Matic a popular choice for those seeking both mechanical refinement and expressive style during a highly creative period in Japanese watchmaking.
