Seiko Lord Matic Owner Review : Gorgeous, fun and remarkable

Found at Mizutani camera in Ueno, Tokyo, this little Lord Matic special is, and it's fair to say, very special to me. It embodies, just like the Orient on which I also posted a review, the memory of a first trip to the land of the rising sun. Bought for next to nothing after a very nice exchange with the owner of the store and a charming American couple looking for a military Hamilton, it represents what, for me, makes watches: an emotion, a memory, an indelible imprint frozen in time. The original strap is a little short for my Thanos wrist, but I haven't given up hope of finding a new jersey or a longer buckle extension. Its faceted glass is incredible and its blue dial is stunning. Despite its age, the piece runs perfectly. At Seiko, you can really treat yourself for little money and wear watches whose manufacturing quality is incredible. If you're passing through Tokyo, stop by Mizutani!
