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!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis Lord Matic Special has a brushed and polished case, matte dark blue dial, uses the Caliber 5206. It was produced by the Daini Seikosha Factory from 1970-1972. It is an automatic movement with a day and date complication. It has hacking and hand-winding, which is something you don’t get in similarly-priced modern day Seiko 5 watches with the 7S26 movement. It also has a rather pleasing instantaneous day and date change click at midnight, as opposed to the gradual transition from one date to another. It operates at 28,800 beats per hour, which was considered hi-beat at that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe 52xx family is a range of automatic movements, that equipped the Lord Matic Special and the King Seiko Special. They all have the stop second and the manual winding feature, their frequency is 28,800 bph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe LM Special was only available in day \u0026amp; date configuration, with 5206 or 5216 calibre. It has a double language day disc, like the 5606 movement. The day and date quickset is working well and hasn’t the same potential issue than the 56xx.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA BIT OF TRIVIA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBoth 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSeiko'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'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTo 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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOUR THOUGHTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe 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. This special is an elite version, hi beat at 28,800bph with a wonderful sweep, English and Kanji day wheel, freshly serviced, which makes this vintage LM incredible value for any collector.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Past2PresentWatches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58095134900611,"sku":"SLMS1528WO","price":295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/2397\/4423\/files\/seiko-LMS-5206-6060-front-_1.jpg?v=1779450436","url":"https:\/\/past2presentwatches.com\/products\/vintage-seiko-watch-lordmatic-special-5206-6060-automatic-1971","provider":"Past2PresentWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
