Seiko Presage Cocktail Midnight Blue Moon automatic blue dial leather strap 40.5 mm

Cocktail Time collection

The Seiko Presage Cocktail Time collection is inspired by the Japanese tradition of ending the working day with a cocktail. Traditionally, "Nomunication" time - a hybrid of nomu (drink) and communication - is after 5pm. Each watch in the collection is named after a cocktail prepared by Hisashi Kishi, head bartender at the Star Bar in Tokyo's Ginza district.

For the record, Hisashi Kishi is the first bartender to receive the "Contemporary Master Craftsman" award and a former winner of the International Bar Association World Championships! He is the owner of STAR BAR, one of Tokyo's finest bars, where the speciality is to create original cocktails, reminiscent of Tokyo's traditional yet lively urban landscape.

The Manufacture presents for this year 2023, new declinations with magnificent dials!

Midnight Blue Moon version

This "Midnight Blue Moon" Presage retains the original design of the Cocktail Time collection, such as the classic box-shaped glass, pointed hour-markers and dauphine hands, all in a case with dimensions of 40.5 mm in diameter, ideal for accompanying an elegant, dressy outfit. The result is a very "sixties" look!

This reference is inspired by the Midnight Blue Moon cocktail, whose light dial texture recalls the blue of this tequila- and dvodka-based cocktail and blue curaçao. The dial is fine and delicate, with a meticulous finish. Several layers of a transparent coating are applied to the dial before being polished flat for a dazzling effect. The golden second hand adds an extra touch of elegance.

Even in a hushed atmosphere, the matte alligator-style leather strap is ideal on the wrist and won't go unnoticed. It features an elegant and practical clasp for comfortable wear, making the all-new Cocktail Time a watch that's easy to wear, for everyday wear as well as for special occasions.

Mechanical side

This Cocktail Time is powered by Seiko's 4R35 automatic caliber, already familiar from the Presage collection, notably on other Cocktail timepieces, Presage Style 60's or numerous Prospex models.

All in line with the mission of the Presage line, this movement offers excellent value for money! Reliable and precise, it delivers around 40 hours of power reserve and operates at a frequency of 21,600 alternations. This technical choice saves you from a regular service interval. It displays the date in an aperture at three o'clock.
