Automatic | 23 Jewels | Vintage Japan Domestic Model
This Seiko LM Special 5206-5000 dates from March 1971 (serial number 13xxxx) and belongs to the renowned Lord Matic line , which Seiko positioned as a link between the Seiko Presmatic and the Grand Seiko series at the end of the 1960s .
The Lord Matic series stood for superior everyday usability with precise high-frequency automatic movements, fine workmanship and elegant design – especially for the demanding Japanese market ( Japan Domestic Model ).
