Its standout feature is the beautiful \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003egreen gradient dial\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, transitioning from a lighter centre into a rich darker green around the outer edge and changing dramatically depending on the light.

The movement combines automatic winding with hand-winding and hacking functionality, while its higher-beat construction makes the Lord Matic Special an especially interesting step above Seiko’s more conventional automatic watches of the era. Presented on a stainless-steel bracelet, this example combines a spectacular green dial, distinctly Japanese day wheel and sophisticated mechanical movement to create a particularly collectible and eye-catching vintage Seiko.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eCondition Grading\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003eNew Old Stock\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003eA+ - (Excellent) Near perfect with almost no signs of wear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003eA - (Very Good) Minimal wear only visible upon close inspection.
