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 is equipped with a 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 TRIVIA

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

Step right up, take a closer glance—
A Seiko stunner, dressed to dance!
From the Lordmatic line, refined and proud,
A cult-fave classic that draws a crowd.

Dials and cases, shapes that gleam,
We’ve gathered a few—collector’s dream.
But today’s the star, the showpiece glow:
The 5606-8050 steals the show.

With a sunburst dial that catches flame,
And a case that plays the mirror game.
Brushed and polished, bold yet fair—
A wrist-bound slice of savoir-faire.

Aged like wine or vintage threads,
Still turning watch-nerd heads.
Untouched lugs, no heavy hand,
Its story told by time—not sand.

Styled with Seiko’s Grammar grace,
A nod to Kings that set the pace.
Past meets present, sharp and smart—
A time-told tale with beating heart.

So if your taste runs cool and true,
With soul and charm and vintage hue—
Come meet this Lord, he’s pure class:
A ticking echo of Seiko’s past.
