Today, Seiko launch new women’s Cocktail Time watches. Four new models have been added to the brand’s iconic cocktail-inspired collection. These brand-new watches exhibit new petite and compact designs that perfectly fit a woman’s wrist. The watches in this collection are all inspired by the Japanese Cocktail Culture of Tokyo’s stylish Ginza area. This part of the day is often referred to as ‘Nomunication Hour’, a name that combines the word communication and ‘nomu’ meaning drink. Each timepiece in this new launch is named after drinks mixed by Hirashi Kishi, the head bartender of Star Bar.
The Watches
The four watches all have one thing in common: they have been expertly designed to reflect light. Every element of each watch has been precisely curated to create a perfect glimmer on the wrist. Each of the four watches is set with eight diamond indices to add an extra touch of luxury to the stylish design. In addition, all four of the new models are powered by a calibre 2R05 automatic movement that provides up to 41 hours of power reserve. The movement of each timepiece is housed within a stainless steel case that measures just 30.28mm in diameter to create a dainty and chic appearance on the wrist. Finally, each watch is water resistant up to 5 bar, making them a practical choice for everyday wear.
Presage Cocktail Time ‘Skydiving’ Diamond Twist SRE007J1
The ‘Skydiving’ model is inspired by the blue tone of the ‘Skydiving’ cocktail that is perfectly crafted by Hisashi Kishi at Star Bar, Tokyo. The blue tone of the cocktail can be seen in the stunning blue shade of the watch dial. The dial is textured to ensure that it reflects light from every angle. Silver baton indices and hands adorn the dial, alongside eight diamonds and a date display. Box-shaped Hardlex glass protects the dial and its features. This model is completed with a silver-toned stainless steel bracelet.
Presage Cocktail Time ‘Clover Club’ Diamond Twist SRE009J1
This ‘Clover Club’ cocktail-inspired watch makes use of a classic combination of silver and rose gold tones. The watch takes design cues from the distinctive raspberry flavour of this iconic cocktail. The white dial exhibits a textured finish and is adorned with rose gold hands and hour markers. A date display positioned at 3 o’clock provides the timepiece with additional functionality. For a classic look, the watch is secured on the wrist using a simple stainless steel bracelet.
Presage Cocktail Time ‘White Lady’ Diamond Twist SRE010J1
The ‘White Lady’ cocktail is known for its citrus flavours and it is these flavours that have inspired this timepiece. The golden textured dial is adorned with gold hands and indices, creating a warm tone to draw the eye to the centre of the watch. The dial also features a date display and is protected by box-shaped Hardlex glass. The finishing touch to this model is a stainless steel bracelet that is designed in shades of silver and gold. Two-tone styles are often favoured due to their versatile nature.
Presage Cocktail Time ‘Pink Lady’ Diamond Twist SRE012J1
Rose gold has become a staple in horological design. The metal tone has a unique and feminine finish that truly makes it stand out from the crowd. This ‘Pink Lady’ wristwatch takes inspiration from the fruity-flavoured cocktail of the same name. A rose gold textured dial is detailed with rose gold hands and indices alongside a date aperture. The dial is adorned with eight diamonds and protected by Hardlex crystal. For a timeless touch, this watch is finished with a stainless steel bracelet.
