History Positioned as a sophisticated, high-tier offering just below the King Seiko range, the Lord Matic line represents a celebrated era of Japanese watchmaking. The Seiko Lord Matic reference 5606-8061 was produced between 1974 and 1975. While the reference is traditionally defined by its use of a faceted crystal designed to break reflections across its gradient dial, this specific example features a flat profile. The reliable 5606 caliber inside became a foundational movement for Seiko during this period, offering robust automatic winding and refined day-date complications.
