Description
Beautiful Seiko LM Lord Matic Special 5206-6060 from September 1971, fitted with a high range 5206 automatic movement beating at 28,800 bph, with stop second, instant day and date shift and manual winding feature.
The overall condition of this watch is good to very good with only minor wear on the case. The dial is in good condition, as are the hands. The days can be displayed in English or in japanese Kanji.
The movement has been serviced and is holding good time (+/- 10 s/d). The day and date quickset is working. The 52xx calibre family is one of the best ever made by Seiko according to me, it led by the way to the more recent 4Sxx movement.
The glass crystal is new. Finally, the watch comes with its original stainless steel bracelet with a Seiko LM signed clasp.
Vintage watch with unknown history but serviced (09/2022) checked and cleaned. Water resistance non tested.
The pictures are actual and part of the description, so take attention to them.
The range
The Lord Matic, or LM range was introduced by Seiko in 1968. It was a middle range of automatic movement watches, with the hacking second and the manual winding feature. All had a stainless steel case and bracelet, most of them had a glass crystal.
The range called Lord Matic Special, fitted with the 5206 & 5216 movements has been introduced a couple of years later.
The range was discontinued in ca 1975, the automatic middle range watches being partly abandonned to the profit of the quartz.

The brand
Introducing Seiko would be useless, it is the most important manufacturer in the world. Founded 120 years ago, it really begun to be a leader in the 60’s/70’s thanks to their automatic watches and of course with their quartz models.
Seiko invented many concepts (analogic and LCD quartz, Kinetic watches, Spring Drive, etc) and marketed all sorts of designs. Its range of watches is incredibly wide, answering almost all budget, design or quality questions.
