The first Lord Marvel was sold in 1958 (Showa 33) from the Suwa factory as Japan's first high-end wristwatch. It was incredibly expensive at the time, you could even say it was exorbitant. It was based on the Marvel model, but it was twice the price. The Lord Marvel was born at a time when there were few high-end products made in Japan. The movement was beautiful, making you take notice the moment you saw it, with polished barrel wheels, minute wheels, and gold-glowing letters engraved on each receiving plate, and even each and every screw was polished. It had performance that far exceeded the standards required of Japanese-made wristwatches. Its high level of completion was said to be shocking at the time, and it was a product that refused to compromise in all aspects, becoming the basis for the Grand Seiko First model, which was released later. The model I am offering for sale this time is a model equipped with the caliber 5740A with a second hand regulation function, manufactured and sold from June 1964 (Showa 39). (Can we call it the second generation?) Compared to the first generation, the luxury was simplified and the price was lowered, but the movement has a serial number, and key points such as the micro-adjustment hairspring are firmly in place. The biggest evolution is the new addition of second hand regulation (it may be understated, but I think it's a great evolution). It has a fully applied dial with a painted pet name. The case is all stainless steel with a non-waterproof snap-on back cover (gaskets are used), and it is the only case type, very similar to the late model of the first Lord Marvel (I apologize for the complicated expression). Personally, I prefer this to a screw-back cover. The dial has few stains or burns and I think it is very clean. The case has no scratches, and both the back cover and the windshield are in good condition. The crown is the original S-marked one. The repair history is from October 2025 (Reiwa 7). The item for sale is an early model manufactured in October 1964, and although it is 61 years old, it is in very good condition. It's doing its best. The accuracy of the rate is shown in the last image with the measurement results. The balance wheel is also swinging vigorously. To prevent damage to the case lugs from the metal belt, a new leather belt is attached. It's become a long description, but I feel the manufacturer's pride and commitment in the fact that the Lord Marvel continued to be made for about 20 years as a high-end Japanese product. Don't you all think so too?
