Very rare and vintage 1970 Seiko Lordmatic (LM) 5601-9000 JDM watch for Men’s

Preowned Price 1400 AED

Seiko introduced the Lordmatic (LM) in 1968 from their Suwa Seikosha and Daini factories. The Suwa factory used the 5601A, 5605A, 5606A, and 5619A movements from 1968 to 1974. The movements had either 23 or 25 jewels, 21,600 BPH. The Daini Factory made use of the 5106 movement which was in production from 1967 to 1970 and was used in the Seikomatic-p. It had 33 jewels at 19,800 BPH. The 5146 was used in the Presmatic and had 27 or 30 jewels and was a 28,800 BPH movement. In the Daini Factories the 52xx movements replaced the 51xx movements. The 5206 movement was in production from 1970-1976. They were either 23 or 25 jewels, 28,800 BPH and were used in their King Seiko line. The factory rivalry took Seiko from just a Japanese watch manufacturer to the very cutting edge of horological innovation, competing with, and often beating, the best the Swiss could offer. This 1970 Lord Matic has a 36mm unpolished case with beveled lugs and crisp lines. A beveled bezel encircles the domed acrylic crystal that protects a white dial with a subtle vertical line pattern, slim applied baton indexes for the hour markers, and elegant Dauphine hands with chamfered edges. On the case back we have an inscription in Mandarin which says “20th Anniversary-Completed Construction of New Factory- To Commemorate”. The case is a monocoque design cast from a single block of steel. This means to access the movement you have to pop the crystal from the front with a special tool. Inside we have an Automatic Seiko Cal. 5601 23 Jewels 21600 Beats per Hour. Fitted on a quick-release grey leather 18mm strap.
