Seiko LM 5206-6030 Lord Matic Special SGP White Sunburst Dial

The Seiko 5206-6030 boasts a simple yet timeless 35mm vintage Seiko design. Its C-shaped case features a brushed finish throughout the full SGP construction, lending a classic appeal. The white sunburst dial follows a minimalist aesthetic, enhanced by clean stick indices and hands. Full SGP Lord Matic Special models are a rare find on the market today.

This particular Lord Matic Special is powered by the 1971 5206 movement. Beating at 28,800 beats per hour, it represents Seiko’s hi-beat innovation of the era. It includes hacking, hand-winding, and a bilingual day-date display. Unlike the later 5216 movement, the 5206 offers an instant day/date changeover at midnight, a more refined feature compared to the gradual transition found in other movements.

The watch is in good condition overall. The movement runs well, and the case shows some light scratches but retains its gold-plated finish and brushed texture without any visible discoloration. The original bracelet, with light surface scratches, fits wrist sizes up to approximately 18 cm. The dial remains clean with only a faint spot near the 9 o'clock marker, and the crystal is generally clear with minor scratches.

The 5206 movement served as the foundation for several 5200-series calibers found in King Seiko models. Often underrated, the Lord Matic Special delivers quality, functionality, and vintage charm comparable to KS and even GS pieces—yet remains a more accessible choice for collectors seeking value and performance.
