In the early 1970s Seiko gave the range an accomplished automatic movement and case designs with real character. That's why the models are still so interesting: somebody took the trouble to make an everyday watch feel considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 5606-7070 has a deceptively calm face. The dark-centred markers give the silver dial definition, while the shaped case adds a little boldness around it. It's a pleasing combination of the familiar and the distinctly seventies, with nothing that needs explaining before you can appreciate it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA BIT OF TRIVIA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn February 1972, a few months before this Lord Matic was made, Seiko timed the Sapporo Winter Olympics. The scale of the task was extraordinary: 583 timing devices, around 100 kilometres of cable and back-up systems in case the electronics failed. The equipment had to work through the severe cold of a Japanese winter. At almost the same moment, Seiko was making watches like this one to keep track of much more ordinary days. Two very different challenges for the same watchmaking company.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOUR THOUGHTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're fond of Seikos that seem made to become part of someone's routine rather than a special-occasion choice. This has the sort of clear silver face you'd enjoy glancing at through the week, while the shaped case makes it worth another look when you have a moment. It doesn't set out to impress the room. The reward is much more personal: a nicely judged mechanical watch that you'll notice on your own wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Past2PresentWatches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63183701868931,"sku":"SLM2649WO","price":295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/2397\/4423\/files\/seiko-lordmatic-5606-7070-front-_29.jpg?v=1794578124","url":"https:\/\/past2presentwatches.com\/products\/vintage-seiko-lord-matic-5606-7070-automatic-1972-serviced-uk-warranty","provider":"Past2PresentWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
