The Seiko Lord Matic series, introduced in 1968, was Seiko's mid-range line of high-quality automatic watches, targeting the growing masses of white-collar office workers prospering under a booming Japanese economy. The Lord Matic Special models, powered by the high-beat 5206 movement, were produced by Seiko's Daini division in the early 1970s. The 5206 movement operates at 28,800 beats per hour and features a bilingual day and date display, along with hacking and hand-winding functions. Unlike some movements with gradual date change, the 5206 offers an instant day/date changeover at midnight, adding to its appeal among collectors.
