Description & Selling Points
"A timeless piece carrying the legacy of the Showa era."
Today, we are introducing the Seiko automatic watch, the "Lord Matic 23 Jewels Ref. 5601-9000." Produced from the late 1960s through the 1970s, the Lord Matic line represented the pinnacle of high-grade practical watches of its time. As a legendary movement series representing Seiko during the Showa period, it combined exceptional precision with a sophisticated design, winning widespread popularity primarily among business professionals.
This specific piece is powered by the 56-series movement produced in 1969. The dial features a textured linen pattern complemented by full numeral indexes and dolphin hands. At the 6 o'clock position, the signature LM emblem representing the Lord Matic line is proudly displayed, completing its timeless aesthetic.
The stainless steel case measures 36mm in diameter with a slim 9.5mm thickness, forming a classic silhouette equipped with a flat one-piece back construction.
It comes fitted with an LM Jubilee bracelet that drapes flexibly around the wrist. Packed with meticulous attention to detail, this is a practical and enduring vintage Japanese timepiece that never goes out of style.
