The Lord Marvel lineup with a low beat was produced around 1959, but the Lord Marvel 5740-8000 features a high beat and was produced between 1967 and 1978. The 5740 model is actually considered the third generation of the Lord Marvel series and represents the pinnacle of this line. In 1967, Seik0 introduced the Lord Marvel 36000 as a response to European efforts, which was, of course, fully developed in-house. As mentioned, the late 1960s were filled with watch innovations, and design elements often reflect these events. For example, the “horseshoe” shaped back with “Water Resistant” written on it was used during the early production period of the Lord Marvel for eleven years but was discontinued in 1974, four years before the end of production. The dial code beneath the six o’clock marker uses 8020 TAD (or 8030 TAD for the Arabic version) instead of 8020 U (or 8030 U for the Arabic version). Today, the thickness of mechanical watches with similar movements might be slimmer due to advances in technology and materials, but the Lord Marvel remains notable for its precision and design for its time and represent timeless testament to precision, elegance, and innovation, showcasing Seik0’s pioneering spirit with its high-frequency 36,000 BPH
