There were quartz breakthroughs, digital experiments and bold new case designs, but there was still a great deal of affection for a dependable automatic watch. Lord Matic occupied that very appealing middle ground: more thought and refinement than an ordinary daily watch, without the formality of King Seiko.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 5606-7190 belongs to that era of mechanical Seikos made to be worn. Its design has the confident lines of the early seventies, while its purpose is pleasantly straightforward: one good watch to tell you where you are in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA BIT OF TRIVIA\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1973, only two years after this Lord Matic was made, Seiko released the world's first six-digit LCD quartz wristwatch, displaying hours, minutes and seconds electronically. It even had a light so its owner could read the display in the dark. The idea of looking at the time on a little screen was suddenly becoming real, yet Seiko's mechanical watches were still finding willing owners. Both belonged to the same extraordinary burst of invention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOUR THOUGHTS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have a soft spot for Lord Matics that carry a little colour without trying to be colourful watches. The red Japanese Sunday in the calendar is just such a detail: there when you notice it, otherwise the watch gets on with the day. It would be an easy Seiko to wear through the week and a satisfying one to learn more about over time. That's the sort of relationship with a vintage watch we enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Past2PresentWatches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63000572821891,"sku":"SLM1D11WO","price":295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/2397\/4423\/files\/seiko-lordmatic-5606-7190-front-_16.jpg?v=1793973581","url":"https:\/\/past2presentwatches.com\/products\/vintage-seiko-wristwatch-lord-matic-5606-7190-automatic-wristwatch-1971-serviced-uk-warranty","provider":"Past2PresentWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
