Key Features

• The Sovereign Peak of 1971 Executive Luxury (1971): Manufactured in 1971—a landmark historical year during Japan's peak post-war industrial expansion—the Lord Matic Weekdater reference 5606-7130 represented Suwa Seikosha's quintessential business-class dress watch. Sitting directly beneath the King series, this model combined high-grade mechanical reliability with crisp Showa-era executive styling.
• The High-Performance 25-Jewel Caliber 5606 Automatic Heart: Powering this historic timepiece is the elevated 25-jewel Caliber 5606, an in-house automatic engine operating at a smooth frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (vph). Highly respected by vintage purists for its ultra-thin profile, this movement incorporates a lavish 25-jewel specification to minimize gear-train wear, complete with hacking seconds, quick-set dual calendar control, and manual-winding capability.
• Architectural ""7130"" Grammar of Design Case Geometry: The reference 5606-7130 is globally distinguished among vintage collectors for its crisp execution of Taro Tanaka's ""Grammar of Design"" principles. Executed in solid stainless steel, the case features sharp, angular faceted lugs and zero-distortion mirror-polished Zaratsu planes that reflect light with high contrast while resting completely flat against the wrist.
• Masterful ""Weekdater"" Dial Harmony and Bilingual Utility: The dial of the 5606-7130 showcases exemplary early-1970s visual balance, featuring a radiant silver sunburst canvas set with hand-applied, multifaceted rectangular block indices and sharp hands. Symmetrically framed at 3 o'clock, the dual-calendar window houses a bilingual (English/Kanji) day disk alongside the date wheel, offset by the applied polished ""LM"" emblem and ""25 JEWELS"" designation above 6 o'clock.
• An Investment-Grade Masterpiece of Suwa's Automatic Heritage: Manufactured during the milestone mechanical year of 1971, the 5606-7130 25-jewel Lord Matic Weekdater remains a highly sought-after, universally respected reference for vintage watch purists. Capturing the precise moment where Suwa Seikosha perfected high-utility automatic dress watches right before the industry shifted toward quartz technology, it stands as an eternal heirloom of Japanese horological history.
