Info: |
The Lord Marvel was first produced in 1958 by Suwa Seikosha, two years before the first Grand Seiko. The Lord Marvel was a successor to the Marvel (1956) and was Seiko's flagship watch when it was released. It was not only the first true luxury watch for the Japanese company but also Japan's first hi-beat movement – a technical ‘marvel'. This watch is in terrific condition, there's a small 'smudge' to the right side of the dial and a tiny indent on the case back, but it's otherwise in great condition. |
