Fully serviced and rare, 1974 Seiko LM Special, 23 jewels automatic watch in beautiful condition. A true gem from Seiko's golden era, this 1974 LM Special represents the pinnacle of the LM line—on par in both design and craftsmanship with the prestigious Vanac KS Special models.
The standout feature is its vibrant cherry red dial, adorned with applied intricate gold-tone indices that shimmer beneath a NOS multi-faceted crystal. The three-piece stainless steel case boasts crisp lines and retains excellent condition, showing only minor wear consistent with age.
It comes fitted with a substantial, solid link stainless steel bracelet that accommodates wrists up to 19.5 cm. The bracelet is heavy-duty and high-grade, offering both durability and comfort.
Powering the watch is the renowned Seiko Caliber 5216A—Seiko’s final high-end automatic movement before the quartz revolution. Beating at a smooth 28,800 bph (8 ticks per second), it features manual winding, hacking, and a quickset calendar with bilingual day display (English/Kanji). This movement shares its roots with the KS Special and Vanac Special calibers, reflecting its premium pedigree.
A rare and beautiful collector’s piece that captures the best of 1970s Seiko engineering and style.
