Description: Vintage Seiko Lord Matic Turtle. The automatic movement within the 5606 Lord-Matic- like the July 1970 Seiko 5606-7130 here -was considered by Seiko to be such an excellent movement that the company re-worked it and placed them within their legendary (and quite accurate) Grand Seikos. The Lord Matic finds its genesis in the Lord Marvel (first made in 1956), with the LM series eventually positioned beneath the King Seiko, but with a very sophisticated new automatic movement and high quality case design and finishing. By 1968 , the LM line had greatly increased in popularity and its movement, the 5606, became one of the most ubiquitous Seiko mechanical movements of the time - the 5606 also formed the basis of higher beat variants fitted to many of the automatic King Seiko and Grand Seiko models of the early to mid 1970s. Seikos Lord Matics were produced at the middle of their lineup, price wise, between 1968 and produced through the 1970s. Uniquely, not only does the Lord Matic 5606 have a hacking feature, it can be wound via both its automatic movement and by hand. DIAL:Subtle dial; beautiful no date simplicity CASE:Stainless-steel mono-bloc cushion case measures 36.5mm (37.5mm with crown) x 40mm - thin at a mere 9.5mm in thickness (with 1/4 of that a domed crystal) - with the 5606's automatic movement accessed via the front of this one piece case. Caselines are sharp, with no evidence of machine polish. CRYSTAL:Acrylic crystal, no scratches or scuffs. BAND: This Lord Matic comes on a generic stainless-steel vintage style bracelet, which will fit up to an approx. 7.75 inch wrist. MOVEMENT:Seiko 23-jewel automatic movement, manufactured in September 1970. CROWN:Unsigned stainless-steel crown.
