Overall Condition This Seiko Lord Marvel 360000 is offered in authentic, original condition, with all of its original components intact. The white dial is relatively clean for its age and has some visible blemishes. The case retains its sharply defined edges, although some of the gold plating on the cap has worn away. The case back has a few scratches, but all the engravings remain distinct and sharp. The winding mechanism operates with a crisp, tactile feel.

 

The Seiko Lord Marvel 36000 is a historically significant wristwatch first released in late 1967. It is known for being the first Japanese watch to feature a true high-beat movement, with a frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour (10 beats per second), making it one of the earliest high-frequency watches worldwide. 

The movement, caliber 5740C, was notable for its precision and reliability, serving as a technological milestone that paved the way for Seiko’s later high-end lines such as Grand Seiko and King Seiko.

The watch has a classic 1960s dress watch design, with a stainless steel case approximately 35mm in diameter, faceted baton indices, dauphine hands, and a clean, symmetrical dial without a date window. The Lord Marvel 36000 was produced until the late 1970s, with versions available in steel and gold-plated cases, and it remains a highly prized collectible for its combination of vintage elegance and horological innovation.
