Seiko Lord Matic 5606-7130 (July 1970) – Suwa, Japan

Fully revised in September 2025

Description

The Seiko Lord Matic 5606-7130 is an iconic model from the early 1970s series of high-end Seiko dress watches. Produced at the Suwa factory (Nagano, Japan) , it represents the technical and design level that Seiko established just below the King Seiko and Grand Seiko lines.

The model from July 1970 impresses with a balanced combination of fine watchmaking craftsmanship, clean lines, and everyday practicality. The silver sunburst dial, elegant baton indices, and slim stainless steel case give it a timeless, understated appearance.

In September 2025, the watch was completely disassembled, cleaned, oiled, and regulated by a watchmaker in Japan. It runs precisely, and the date and day mechanism works perfectly.
