Meet the legendary Seiko Lord Matic – a watch that knows how to make an entrance. Seiko introduced this beauty to carry on the Lord Marvel legacy, and they absolutely nailed it (and then some!).

Powered by the sophisticated 56-series movement, the Lord Matic doesn’t just tell time – it shows time. With a case design and finish that’s as sharp as your best suit, it’s elegant but never stuffy. Originally sitting just below the King Seiko line, the Lord Matic quickly won over watch lovers and became a sensation all on its own. The 5606 movement? A true Seiko classic that dominated the scene.

A BIT OF TRIVIA

The Lord Matic was a product of both the Suwa Seikosha factory (aka Grand Seiko's home) and the Daini Seikosha factory (the birthplace of King Seiko). Suwa Seikosha made the models with the 5600-series movements, while Daini Seikosha was in charge of the 5100- and 5200-series.

Back in the day, Seiko’s ads boldly claimed the Lord Matic was for “men on the way to the top.” Today, if you're rocking one, you’re part of the "if you know, you know" crew.

If you’re just dipping your toes into vintage watches, the Lord Matic is a total underdog – affordable, high-quality, and dripping with Seiko’s pedigree. Want the prestige without the King Seiko or Grand Seiko price tag? The Lord Matic’s got you covered!

OUR THOUGHTS

The Lord Matic line is known for its variety, and we’re lucky to have a few in our store. This Lord Matic 5601-9000, without day or date, features a linen dial with numeral indices and a multi-dimensional mirror-finished case. Carefully preserved, it maintains its original finish, showcasing its rich history. The design follows Seiko's Grammar of Design, reminiscent of the 56 King Seiko from the same period. This piece proudly carries its legacy, offering a glimpse into Seiko’s craftsmanship. It’s sure to impress any vintage watch collector.
