Seiko Lord Matic 5606-7130 - December 1970 - freshly serviced (Japan, January 2026)

Important note:
This Seiko Lord Matic was fully serviced in January 2026 in Japan. The automatic movement was completely disassembled, cleaned, re-oiled, and regulated. All functions (automatic winding, hand setting, quick-set date and day of the week) work perfectly. The watch is therefore technically in a very good, stable condition.

Model & Historical Context

The Seiko Lord Matic (LM) was positioned in the late 1960s as a more sophisticated, technically advanced alternative to the Seiko 5 line. It was aimed at buyers seeking a flatter case, higher movement quality, and more elaborate finishing, without venturing into the price range of King Seiko or Grand Seiko.

The reference 5606-7130 offered here dates from December 1970 (dated by the Seiko serial number) and belongs to the classic, clearly designed Lord-Matic models of that era. Characteristic features include the cushion-shaped stainless steel case, the uncluttered, silver-colored dial, and the powerful 5606 caliber with quick-set function.

Movement – Seiko Caliber 5606

Inside, the proven Seiko Caliber 5606, an automatic in-house movement with:

• 25 jewels
• Automatic winding
• Date and day of the week (bilingual, quick-set)
• Robust, everyday-suitable construction

The Caliber 5606 is considered one of the most technically advanced movements in the Lord-Matic series and was also used in higher-positioned Seiko models. The recent service in Japan (01/2026) is a clear added value, especially for these movements.

Dial & Case

The silver-colored dial is in a very nice, age-appropriate condition with clear indices and easily readable hands. The day/date display at 3 o'clock underscores the functional character of the watch.

The stainless steel case shows age-related signs of wear, consistent with its vintage character. No serious damage, no excessive polishing – honest preservation condition.

Strap

Mounted is a new black leather strap with crocodile embossing, which harmonizes very well visually with the clear design of the Lord Matic and increases wearing comfort.
