Seiko LM 5216-6040 Lord Matic Special Brown Striped Dial

The 1973 Seiko 5216-6040 is a remarkable Lord Matic timepiece that embodies Taro Tanaka's Grammar of Design principles. Its sharp case design with curved sidelines, high-polished planes, and two-dimensional surfaces seamlessly integrate into the bracelet, creating a cohesive and striking aesthetic.

The highlight of this model is its mesmerizing brown dial with a striped pattern that combines darker and metallic brown tones. This unique dial design, paired with baton hands and gold-accented indices at the 6 and 12-hour markers (featuring double and triple stripes), creates a dynamic visual appeal. The dial plays beautifully with light, showcasing an ever-changing display of depth and shine.

Inside the 5216-6040 is the high-grade 5216 movement, based on the King Seiko 52 series. This 28,800 bph movement, a quick-set day and date feature, hacking for precise time-setting, and manual winding capabilities—hallmarks of a premium mechanical watch.

This example is in excellent condition, showing no obvious signs of wear. The dial, crystal, and case are all clean, and the original integrated bracelet fits wrists up to approximately 18.5cm. A stunning vintage watch, the Seiko 5216-6040 is both collectible and wearable, showcasing Seiko's craftsmanship and timeless design philosophy.
