This a very rare JDM Seiko Lordmatic 5606-7192. It’s obvious defining feature is the exquisite “butterfly wing” dial that shifts color tone as it reflects light. This was only sold in Japan and is among the rarest Lordmatic variants, if not the rarest Lordmatic with a green dial. The dial is especially cool because it has a fingerprint or paint stroke like texture to it that rivals even the most beautiful textured dials of the Grand Seiko line.

Discover the legendary Seiko Lord Matic. Seiko introduced the Lord Matic line with the intention of continuing the Lord Marvel legacy, setting the bar high for this new series of watches. Thanks to Seiko's design expertise, they achieved their goal and more!

The Lord Matic line known by some as a flawed genius of a movement, because of the failing quickset, But this one is now equipped with a new upgraded part making this a very sophisticated 56 series movement, and sports a high-quality case design and finishing that takes it to new heights of elegance. Although originally positioned just below the King Seiko line, the Lord Matic quickly gained market demand, becoming a sensation in its own right. Its movement, the 5606, emerged as one of the most prevalent Seiko mechanical movements of its time.

A BIT OF TRIVA

Both Suwa Seikosha factory (the makers of Grand Seiko) and Daini Seikosha factory (the makers of King Seiko) produced Lord Matic watches. The Suwa Seikosha factory created those with the 5600-series movements while Daini Seikosha factory made the 5100-series and the 5200-series.

 Seiko's Lordmatic advertisements back then exemplified how Seiko positioned the Lord Matic watches as for “men on the way to the top.”. Today men and women wearing one have already reached the 'if you know you know phase'.

To those who wish to start their journey in vintage watches, the Lord Matic line is underrated and a lot more reasonably priced. If you want the functionality and the pedigree but without paying for the premium of the King Seiko and Grand Seiko, I highly recommend seeking out a Lord Matic

OUR THOUGHTS

The Lordmatic Line was extensive and were available in a wide variety of dial and case configurations, we are lucky enough to have a few in the store and this could be the best. This freshly serviced 'morpho' Lord Matic is sure to impress any vintage watch collector.
