History The Seiko Lord Matic line was introduced in 1968 as a mid-tier luxury offering positioned just below the Grand Seiko and King Seiko lines. This particular example is powered by the Seiko Caliber 5605, a 25-jewel automatic movement that features a date-only display, distinguishing it from the day-date 5606 models. The production window for the Caliber 5605 ran from 1968 to 1975. Payment and Shipping Payment must be completed within 1–3 days after purchase.
