Seiko LM 5216-6030 Lord Matic Special Radiant Blue Linen Checkered Dial

This 1973 Seiko 5216-7070 is a standout model in the Lord Matic Special line, celebrated for its exceptional design and refined mechanical movement. The highlight of this piece is its mesmerizing radiant blue linen checkered dial, which showcases a unique combination of vertical linen stripes and a subtle tilted check pattern. The interplay of textures and color is further elevated by gold and silver faceted baton indices, matching faceted hands, and a gold-framed day-date window—all creating a striking and elegant dial layout. A newly replaced faceted acrylic crystal enhances the dial’s brilliance and vintage charm.

The watch is in excellent condition. The dial is pristine with no signs of aging, and the case and original bracelet show only light wear while retaining their sharp edges. The bracelet fits wrists up to approximately 17.5cm.

At its heart is the high-grade Seiko 5216 automatic movement, derived from the King Seiko 52 series. Beating at a high frequency of 28,800 bph, it features hacking, manual winding, and a quickset bilingual day-date function, delivering both precision and convenience. The movement is running smoothly, with reliable accuracy and a strong power reserve.

A true testament to Seiko’s design innovation and mechanical excellence, the 5216-7070 blends visual artistry with performance, making it a highly desirable piece for vintage Seiko collectors and enthusiasts.
