Seiko Presage Cocktail Time Star Bar: A Toast to Tokyo’s Sunsets
Seiko’s Presage Cocktail Time watches pay homage to Japan’s vibrant cocktail culture, drawing inspiration from the colorful concoctions crafted by Hisashi Kishi, the renowned bartender of Tokyo’s Star Bar in the Ginza district. Reflecting the meticulous artistry of Japanese craftsmanship, these timepieces capture the essence of Tokyo’s sunset hues in their gradient dials.

Limited to 9,000 pieces, it comes with a dark brown calfskin strap, embodying refined sophistication.
Pinky Twilight (SRE014):
- Feminine Elegance: The Pinky Twilight model charms with its petite 30.3mm gold-plated stainless steel case and gradient dial, transitioning from light pink to gentle yellow hues. Faceted gold-colored indices and a framed date window at 3 o’clock accentuate its feminine allure.
