History Introduced in the late 1960s, the Lord Matic line was positioned just below King Seiko and Grand Seiko, offering exceptional mechanical quality and refined design to the discerning public. The Special designation, often produced by the Daini Seikosha factory, featured upgraded movements like the 5200 series, which laid the architectural groundwork for many of Seiko's premium modern calibers. These watches represent a peak era of Japanese mechanical watchmaking before the quartz revolution fully took hold. / Second Vintage SKU: SEI-SSJ-0006
