The "Seiko Lord Marvel" that arrived today is a popular choice for Seiko and other brands.
A particularly valuable historical masterpiece among Japanese-made wristwatches.
It may be that Seiko is in the position it is in today because of the existence of this watch.
The Lord Marvel was sold as Seiko's highest-end model until 1960, when Grand Seiko was born.
Seiko's internal brand is revamped to manufacture watches that can be used worldwide.
Among them, Lord Marvel has undergone many minor changes,
It has become one of Seiko's best-selling models.
In 1966, the case was upgraded to a waterproof design.
The movement developed is Cal. 5740B, which has precision and durability on par with the highest-end models.
This became the Lord Marvel, and in 1968 they succeeded in making the mechanism high-beat.
It has evolved into the classic Lord Marvel 36000, which still enjoys enduring popularity today.
In other words, it will be a transitional period from the conventional Lord Marvel to the Lord Marvel 36000.
This is a very valuable item that was only produced for two years.
At first glance, the exterior design is
There is not much difference between the Lord Marvel, which has the same model number 5740-8000,
If you look closely you can see the difference.
The case design is the same, but the low-beat model has a slightly pointed crown.
The index is the same upright specification,
The low-beat model remains metal and silver in color.
The high-beat model has a black painted surface, and the hands have the same specifications.
And what catches the eye most of all is the font on the dial.
The low-beat model has Lordmarvel printed in cursive, making it immediately different from the high-beat model.
Furthermore, the dial finish changes appearance depending on the amount of light, which is very different from the silk-like finish of the high-beat model.
The interesting thing about vintage watches is that you can see these differences in specifications.
Naturally, the movements are also very different.
Although it may look simple, each part is extremely strong and has excellent precision and durability.
It remains in good condition even after nearly 60 years since its manufacture.
The main difference between this model and the high-beat model is the frequency.
It was because of the creation of this machine that not only was it later made into a high-beat machine,
We have also succeeded in popularizing it to the general public.
Seiko was also one of the first to popularize high-beat movements in the 1960s.
It can be said that Lord Marvel's presence is very significant.
The later high-beat models are also watches with many anecdotes in their own right,
The low-beat model, which I personally rarely see,
If you're a watch lover, this is one item you should definitely get.
Nowadays, Japanese-made watches are among the best in the world.
It took a lot of trial and error to get to where we are today.
As Japanese people, we want you to turn your attention to the appeal of Japanese products and realize their value once again.
With this in mind, we have focused on selling Seiko watches since we first opened.
You will surely be able to fully experience the charm of Japanese-made watches.
This watch will definitely play a part in that.
