It was back in 2017 that Seiko announced they were releasing two cocktail inspired watches as part of their Baselworld announcement, the watches were inspired by cocktail bar and the colours you see such as blue, pink, yellow and green. They were great additions to the mechanical range that Seiko have manufactured known as the ‘Presage’ collection. There was eight models in total each inspired by a different cocktail, all of the watches were received by the Baselworld press and public very well indeed and they have now become solid fixtures in the Presage collection.
SSA361 & SRPC03
The Starlight cocktail is inspired by brilliance and mystery of the night sky.
The Sakura Fubuki cocktail expresses the beauty of cherry blossom in the spring breeze.
This year Seiko is planning on a few new releases that are set to wow the public, press and retailers and give them a huge drive forward for this year, we have recently had a visit from our new representative for Seiko and although she has informed us of a few new models that we can order her lips were shut about any Baselworld top secret releases but she did say it was something we definitely need to keep an eye out for!
As we aren’t able to tell you too much about the upcoming show apart from that you should keep an eye out on our blog where we will be doing a live releases for the new models at Baselworld as they are released from the Baselworld Website we have decided to tell you about the new models that we have ordered and will be out soon, so without further ado lets dive in…
Prospex Mini Sea Turtle PADI Automatic Divers Watch
Product code: SRPC41K1
First up we have the new Seiko Padi Sea Turtle Mini Automatic watch, this men’s watch features an automatic Japanese movement and hardlex glass. It is very similar in design to the Padi Sea Turtle watch that they have currently in black (SRP779K1) however this one is smaller in case diameter by approximately 3.7mm. The dial features a date display and bold hour markers that glow after being exposed to light, the watch features a rubber silicone strap which is blue where as the SRP779K1 is a black strap and it features the same standard buckle as the previous normal sized model. The watch has a water resistance rating of 200m and still has that turtle shaped case that Seiko fans know and love so much. You can purchase this watch here.
Seiko Prospex PADI Recreation Blue Dial Blue Resin Strap
Product code: SPB071J1
The second watch in the Seiko new additions is also from the Seiko Prospex range and continues with the very blue theme, its called the Padi Recreation watch and it comes with a blue resin strap just like the SRPC41K1. The bezel on this watch is a bold black in colour with a very jagged blue edge to it which gives it a great grip to turn the rotating bezel. The black colour makes the numbers stand out which is perfect for deep diving and the blue edge highlights where you need to place your fingers for optimum grip under water.
The black to blue gradient is definitely a stand out design and with the wavy pattern to the dial too it really immerses you in the diving world. The watch is 200 metres water resistant and we already have two members of staff who are looking to buy one so if you are thinking about purchasing this watch you need to be quick!
