Seiko Lord Matic | 25 Jewels Automatic 5606-7360 | Fumé Chocolate Brown Dial | 1974

A beautiful example of the Seiko Lord Matic 5606-7360, produced in 1974 and distinguished by one of the most striking dial configurations found within the Lord Matic range.

The watch features its original factory-finished fumé chocolate brown sunburst dial, transitioning from a warm mahogany centre into deeper brown tones towards the outer edge. The combination of the rich dial, gold-tone faceted markers and hands, and sharply defined stainless steel case gives this example a particularly elegant character.

The Lord Matic collection occupied an important position within Seiko's range during the 1970s, offering more refined styling and finishing alongside Seiko's dependable automatic movements. The 5606-7360 is particularly distinctive for its bright faceted barrel-shaped case, pronounced bevels and integrated-looking original LM bracelet.

Powered by Seiko's Calibre 5606A automatic movement, this 25-jewel example has been professionally serviced, including disassembly, cleaning, lubrication and regulation. The movement is currently keeping good time, while the day/date function operates correctly with the crown quickset.

The watch retains all of its genuine, period-correct Seiko components, including the original signed LM stainless steel bracelet and LM-signed clasp. The unrestored factory fumé dial remains in excellent condition, complemented by the sharply defined case and original faceted acrylic crystal.
