Own a piece of Seiko History with this Seiko Lord Marvel reference 5740-8000 because it features Seiko's first "real" hi-beat caliber - produced in 1973.

Seiko has this exact reference but in stainless steel at their Seiko Museum in Japan for exhibition.

This Seiko is a handwinding mechanical watch with Cal. 5740C - ticking 36000 beats per minute with 23 Jewels. It is in great working condition, measuring +6s/d with 180 amplitude and 0.6ms beat error flat on the timegrapher.

Besides the mechanical marvel that it is this is great vintage Seiko watch due to the dimensions: with a SGP 35mm case with 42mm lug-to-lug wearing relatively big on the wrist. It has a beautiful linnen dial with applied arabic numerals and Seiko's recognisable dauphine hands and the oversized crown.

It's in great condition with an original case in good, unpolished condition. It has small scratches mainly on the lugs but overall good condition.

This is reference LM36 costing only ¥15,000 in 1974.
