This serviced Rare Vintage 1974 Seiko Lord Matic Green Faceted 23 Jewels Ref. 5606-7360 is a spectacular example of mid-1970s Japanese horology, embodying the bold design language and mechanical sophistication of Seiko's executive dress watch design from the era. It is driven by the highly regarded 23-jewel Caliber 5606 automatic movement, a high-grade workhorse engineered with a slim profile and a hacking mechanism to deliver the robust mechanical longevity and precision that defined the Lord Matic legacy. Following a full mechanical service, the caliber operates with optimal efficiency, providing the seamless automatic performance, manual winding capability, and flawless day/date quickset functionality that established the line's prestige. The face of the watch features a stunning, factory-original green dial with a rich gradient finish that shifts beautifully across the surface to capture light with sharp precision. This striking backdrop is dramatically enhanced by its original multi-faceted glass crystal, which acts like a prism to create a fascinating depth and unique visual texture. A crisp day-date window sits at 3 o'clock, featuring a classic dual-language display that highlights the textbook 1970s geometric symmetry of the layout. It is beautifully appointed with its original applied silver block indices and matching hands, adding incredible contrast, legibility, and character to the rich green background. The stainless steel case is beautifully preserved, retaining its sharp factory geometry, brushed upper surfaces, and polished contours that sit comfortably on the wrist. Maintaining its classic dress watch identity, this reference positions its crown at 3 o'clock, perfectly complementing the balanced proportions of the case. The timepiece remains 100% authentic, complete, and unaltered, retaining its original factory dial, hands, faceted crystal, case, crown, and original stainless steel Lord Matic bracelet to meet the strict standards of discerning enthusiasts. Collectors fiercely pursue the vintage Lord Matic series for its high-grade 56-series movements and its quintessential mid-century styling. While many examples have lost their original bracelets or faceted crystals over the decades, this pristine, fully original specimen complete on its factory bracelet offers a rare opportunity for collectors who appreciate classic 1970s engineering preserved in its true factory form, a refined and essential cornerstone ready for any serious vintage Seiko collection.
