Midnight TV-Screen: 1971 Seiko Lord Matic 25 Jewels (Ref. 5606-5050 Black Dial)
This serviced Rare Vintage 1971 Seiko Lord Matic Ref. 5606-5050 is a bold, avant-garde statement from Suwa Seikosha's golden era of design, fusing innovative case architecture with elite automatic engineering. It is powered by the high-spec 25-jewel Caliber 5606 automatic movement, a premium variant within the 56xx family featuring both hacking and hand-winding capabilities, positioning the Lord Matic series as a sophisticated, high-performance companion for the executive tier.
Following a full mechanical service, the watch operates with smooth precision and vigor, ensuring its longevity as a distinct vintage daily wearer. The absolute centerpiece of this watch is its captivating matte black dial, which remains in 100% original condition. This deep, ink-black surface is beautifully preserved, creating an intense contrast against the minimalist white applied line markers and polished handset. The framed day-date display at 3 o'clock features a clean Kanji/English wheel, adding a striking layer of authentic Japanese domestic market (JDM) heritage.
The stainless steel case is uniquely characterized by its chunky, retro-futuristic TV-style cushion profile, which remains in excellent condition while retaining its robust factory geometry and distinctively wide polished facets. Exceptional for its age, the watch head is entirely factory-correct, preserving its original dial, crystal, case, and crown to ensure the highest historical integrity for discerning collectors. To match the dark elegance of the dial, it has been paired with a premium black leather strap with an alligator pattern.
Collectors highly prize the 5606-5050 for its rare combination of a factory black dial, the premium 25-jewel count variation, and its iconic geometric presence. This 1971 specimen offers a superb combination of historic technical sophistication and bold, structural style - a refined, all-original addition that brings a commanding presence to any serious vintage watch collection.
