Just a few days ago, Seiko teamed up with Tokyo’s renowned STAR BAR and its owner, Hisashi Kishi, to create two stunning new additions to the Presage Cocktail Time collection. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant nightlife of Japan's capital, these watches are based on the art of cocktail-making, representing the bold yet accessible nature of this series. Seiko has introduced two new models, one for men and one for women, with designs inspired by the Tokyo Night cocktail and featuring exquisite crystal details. The reference numbers for these new releases are SRPK93 and SRE015.

A Collaboration with Hisashi Kishi: Continuing the Legacy

Much like previous Presage Cocktail Time watches, the new models were co-created with Hisashi Kishi, the master bartender of STAR BAR in Ginza. Kishi, Japan’s first bartender to receive the "Contemporary Master Craftsman" title, crafted a special cocktail called "Tokyo Night" for these watches. The design of the two timepieces reflects Tokyo’s dynamic skyline at night, with different sizes capturing the essence of the city's nightlife in a unique and captivating way.

Stainless Steel Cases and New Colors: A Look at the SRPK93 and SRE015 Designs

Both models feature stainless steel cases with steel bracelets and folding clasps. The technical specifications of the SRPK93 and SRE015 are largely similar to previous versions, but the key difference lies in the dial colors and textures. The dials showcase a refined "scratched" texture, with a gradient dark gray tone that fades from light at the center to darker at the edges, creating a stunning 3D effect. The hands and hour markers are finished in a rich gold tone, while the date window also features a gold-framed design, giving the watches a touch of elegance and contrast.

The Men’s SRPK93: A Bold Size with Automatic Movement

The men’s SRPK93 comes in a 40.5mm polished stainless steel case, with a box-shaped Hardlex crystal and a transparent case back, showcasing the classic 4R35 automatic movement. The movement has a frequency of 3Hz and a power reserve of up to 41 hours. This model is limited to 9,000 pieces and is expected to be released on October 1, 2024, priced at €560.
