The Seiko Lord-Matic******8000, a rare timepiece that captures the essence of Japanese watchmaking in the late 60's and early 70's. Crafted by skilled Japanese watchmakers, these watches were created to cater to the flourishing tourism trade, while the exact number of these watches produced remains uncertain, it is acknowledged that they are extremely limited in availability, making them coveted by collectors and enthusiasts.
What sets this particular Seiko Lord-Matic apart is its combination of two extraordinary elements: a Taro Tanaka designed case and a highly sought-after Ukiyo-e dial entitled "Ukiyo Genji Eight Views". The dial showcases beautiful artwork of a Japanese courtesan and features impeccable lacquer coating. The hands and hour markers are pristine, with raised and machined silver baton indices that catch and reflect the light. The Kanji/English day and date window is framed in silver, and the silver baton hour and minute hands, along with a silver second sweep, add a touch of refinement. The applied SEIKO and LM emblems enhance the overall aesthetic, creating a dial that dazzles from every angle.
When it comes to condition, this Seiko Lord-Matic******8000 is outstanding. The case remains unpolished, retaining its clean, sharp beveled edges, showcasing its original Zaratsu polishing with only minimal micro-scratches. The case back is impressively clean with crisp imprints, and the mineral crystal remains unblemished. The overhauled 5606 movement operates smoothly without any issues, and the kanji-English day-date hacking mechanism functions seamlessly. This model, like the earlier Lord-matic watches, features a one-piece case=back that enhances its water-proofing capabilities by allowing only front removal of the movement.
With its large case, measuring 38.2 x 41.2mm, this Lord-Matic made by the Suwa division boasts a 5606 calibre with 25 jewels. Operating at a beat rate of 21600 BPH, it has quick set day and date, hand winding, and the ability to precisely set the seconds using a hacking lever. The calendar changes accurately and instantaneously at the 24-hour mark, and the crown functions flawlessly for adjusting the day of the week or time. Though there is no official paperwork, the watch was overhauled in 2023, ensuring optimal performance.
Designed by the renowned Seiko designer Taro Tanaka, this Lord-Matic incorporates his "Grammar of Design" philosophy, resulting in a timepiece that sparkles as light catches its various angled edges, akin to the radiance of a diamond. If you are a collector of Seiko and/or vintage watches, or simply appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of these masterpieces, the Seiko Lord-Matic******8000 deserves a special place in your collection.
