Seiko Lord Matic Weekdater 5606-7000 from March 1969 - Original bracelet/clasp - 23 Jewels - Hand winding feature and hacking - Proof caseback - Working Quickset - Super Condition - Day wheel in English and Kanji
A lovely example of the iconic Suwa 5606 movement series. Ahead of its time in so many ways the 5606 was only let down by the quickest mechanism but this one is working smoothly and looks absolutely stunning in its brushed stainless and polished stainless steel case. The sunburst dial is in excellent condition under a new crystal. The hands also look exceptional. The case is in excellent shape with some light wear normal for the age of the watch but no serious dings. Case-back markings are also very well defined. It comes on its original stainless steel bracelet & clasp which will fit up to a 19cm wrist. These watches represent incredible value for a vintage watch
Movement: Original SEIKO Cal. 5606A - Running well, test worn for 24 hours. Not serviced or waterproof but keeping great time. Please see photo of watch on timegraher for readings, accuracy shown cannot be guaranteed but +/- 25 s/d is our benchmark for unserviced watches. Day/date turn over at midnight & quickset works as it should.
Dial: Beautiful silver/white sunburst. As near mint as you can get. Marked JAPAN 5606 -7001T AD either side of 6 o'clock marker
Glass: Acrylic, new
Hands: Original, excellent
Case: Original, unpolished stainless steel, some age related wear but no noticeable dings. Solid case back with movement accessed through crystal, very well defined markings
Crown: Well fitted at 3 o'clock. Hand winding feature. Quickset working smoothly but as with all vintage watches it is very important not to use the feature between 8pm and 4am as it will break the mechanism
Jewels: 23
Beat Rate: 21,600bph
Diameter: Approx. 35mm
Lug width: 19mm
Band: Original stainless steel bracelet & clasp. Will fit up to a 19cm wrist
