1972 Seiko LM Special 5206-5030

 Serviced, rare 1972 Seiko LM Special hi-beat automatic watch in good condition. 

The standout feature of this Seiko LM Special is its striking metallic violet dial with an unusual sculpted, multi-level geometric design. The dial features a raised, rounded-square central section surrounded by angular, sloping surfaces, creating a fascinating three-dimensional appearance. Fine sunburst brushing enhances the metallic purple finish, producing beautiful variations between bright lavender-violet and deep, almost black plum tones depending on the lighting and viewing angle.

Applied silver-tone baton markers and polished hands provide an elegant contrast, while the distinctive dial architecture gives the watch a bold, futuristic character that perfectly captures Seiko's experimental design language of the 1970s.

The watch is housed in a bold, cushion-shaped stainless steel case with brushed surfaces and a contrasting polished bezel. Original stainless steel bracelet completes the unmistakably 1970s aesthetic.
