This is a prime example of the Lord Matic at its most stylish, offering high-end features in a distinctive, futuristic case shape from the early 1970s. The elongated, TV-style stainless steel case flows seamlessly into the original integrated bracelet, creating a striking "horizontal" presence on the wrist that is instantly recognizable as Seiko's elegant design language of the era. The sunburst blue dial is immaculate, providing a deep, rich color that contrasts sharply with the white day/date wheel.
At the heart of this timepiece is the Seiko Caliber 5606, a 23-Jewel automatic movement that is mechanically related to the top-tier King Seiko and Grand Seiko models of the time. This caliber includes premium features your customer will appreciate: hand-winding capability and hacking seconds (the second hand stops when setting the time for ultimate precision). This was not standard on mid-range watches, highlighting the superior quality of the Lord Matic line.
The final detail for the informed buyer is the case back reference 5606-6000. This reference number signifies one of the earliest and most classic versions of the LM series. The presence of the fully functioning bilingual calendar (English and Kanji, showing the Japanese characters for the day of the week) is a desirable JDM touch, and the "Water Resistant" marking confirms its intended everyday durability.
