Seiko LM 5206-6020 Lord Matic Special Black Sunburst Dial

The Seiko 5206 movement made its debut in 1970 as part of the Lord Matic series by the Daini division. Around 1972, it received an upgrade to the 5216A, featuring a more efficient calendar system.

The Lord Matic Special model here is equipped with the 5206 movement produced in 1971, operating at 28,800 beats per hour, representing the hi-beat technology of its era. It features a bilingual day and date display, along with hacking and hand-winding functions. Unlike the 5216 movement, the 5206 movement offers a spontaneous instant day/date changeover at midnight, which adds to the watch's appeal compared to the gradual transition observed in other movements.

The 5206-6020 boasts a simple yet classic 35mm vintage Seiko design. The stainless steel case exhibits a combination of brushed patterns on the front lugs and polished finishes on the sides. The dial adopts a sophisticated approach with its black sunburst finish, accentuated by baton indices and hands.

Maintained in excellent condition with no apparent signs of wear, this watch operates with good accuracy and power reserve. It comes with its original bracelet, fitting wrist sizes up to approximately 17.5cm.

The 5206 movement served as the foundational platform for other 5200-series movements used in King Seiko models. The Lord Matic Special, often underrated, offers the quality and functionality comparable to those of the KS and GS series but at a more accessible price point, making it an attractive option for enthusiasts on a reasonable budget.
