History Introduced in the late 1960s, the Seiko Lord Matic line represented a significant pillar of the brand's mid-tier automatic offerings. Positioned just below the King Seiko and Grand Seiko families, the Lord Matic series utilized the sophisticated 5600 series movements, which were highly regarded for their reliability and thin profile. The 1972 production year places this example firmly within a highly creative era of Seiko's mechanical innovation, reflecting the distinct design language and technical proficiency that defined the brand during the 1970s. / Second Vintage SKU: SEI-ALJ-0039
