In the late 1960s Seiko was making the automatic wristwatch a dependable part of ordinary Japanese life, and the Lord Matic offered a more considered version of that idea. It was smart without needing to be formal, a watch that would fit into the working week rather than sit at home awaiting an occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5605 belongs to the early years of the range, when Seiko was still giving the LORD MATIC name plenty of space on the dial. The simplicity is part of its charm. There is a date when you need one, and very little else asking for your attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA BIT OF TRIVIA\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive years before this Lord Matic, Seiko had introduced the Sportsmatic 5, bringing the movement, case, dial and bracelet together as one carefully designed watch. It was so successful that in 1964 it became the first wristwatch to receive Japan's Good Design Award. That was an important step towards the idea behind Lord Matic: quality wasn't just an accurate movement, but the pleasure of an entire watch designed to work well in daily life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOUR THOUGHTS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are days when the simplest watch is the most satisfying one to choose. This Lord Matic has an easy clarity about it: a silver face, the date when you want it, and enough mechanical interest to make you glad you chose a vintage automatic. We like the idea of it becoming the watch you instinctively reach for, not because it's trying to be impressive, but because it feels like the right companion for the day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Past2PresentWatches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63000747835779,"sku":"SLM8905WO","price":295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/2397\/4423\/files\/Seiko-LM-5605-7020-front_1.jpg?v=1793957924","url":"https:\/\/past2presentwatches.com\/products\/vintage-seiko-lord-matic-5605-7020-automatic-wristwatch-1968-serviced-uk-warranty","provider":"Past2PresentWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
