History Introduced in the late 1960s, the Seiko Lord Matic line was positioned just below the Grand Seiko and King Seiko collections, offering sophisticated design and reliable automatic calibers to a broader audience. Powered by the widely respected 5600 series of movements, the LM range became known for its slim profiles, varied dial textures, and robust daily performance. Today, these watches are highly appreciated by enthusiasts for their distinct 1970s aesthetic and enduring mechanical quality. / Second Vintage SKU: SEI-LJX-0021
