Introduced in the 1960s, the Seiko Lord Marvel series was a high-end line that bridged the gap between Seiko’s dress watches and the prestigious Grand Seiko models. The Lord Marvel 5740-8000, produced in June 1968, houses Seiko’s manually-wound caliber 5740, known for its precision and elegant engineering. These early Lord Marvels were among the first to feature high-beat movements in later versions, laying the groundwork for Seiko's mechanical excellence in the years to come.
