History The Seiko Lord Matic line was introduced in the late 1960s as a premium offering that sat closely below the King Seiko and Grand Seiko tiers. Powered by the advanced 5600 series of automatic movements, the Lord Matic was designed for accuracy, slimness, and practical daily wear. The caliber 5606 became a significant movement in Seiko production during the 1970s, recognized by collectors for its robust architecture and the convenience of quickset day and date functions. / Second Vintage SKU: SEI-LJX-0025
