This timepiece represents the stylistic peak of the Lord Matic line, combining superior mechanical engineering with an aggressive, fun, 1970s aesthetic! The Caliber 5606 automatic movement is a highly respected 23-Jewel engine, sharing its foundation with the movements used in the ultra-precise King Seiko and Grand Seiko models, ensuring excellent performance.
The striking feature here is that incredible Gem Cut/Faceted Crystal over a deep Emerald Green Dial. The crystal's geometric facets refract light beautifully, making the dark green sunburst dial appear to shimmer with intense color—a bold, period-correct design that collectors prize for its visual punch. This watch is instantly recognizable as a JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) piece due to its bold style and the bilingual Day/Date calendar (English/Kanji).
Functionally, the 5606 includes desirable features like hand-winding and hacking seconds (the second hand stops when setting the time). While the 5606 quick-set date is famous for its fragility, a functional piece like this indicates a well-maintained and cherished vintage marvel, ready to provide decades of enjoyment.
