Traditionally in Japan ‘Nomunication hour’ – a hybrid of nomu (drink) and communication, is after 5pm – when it’s cocktail hour and time to talk things over. The Seiko Presage Cocktail Time collection was inspired by this Japanese custom – with each timepiece named after drinks mixed by Hisashi Kishi, head bartender of Star Bar in Tokyo’s Ginza area.

Hisashi Kishi has created a menu of Seiko-inspired original cocktails under the theme of ‘Tokyo Magic Hour’ adding interesting sips to his already-extensive repertoire. One of which is the ‘Purple Sunset’ – Purple at the top of the glass and orange at the bottom, the subtle deep gradation is designed to look like the late embers of the sun setting over Tokyo skies.

With Dauphine-style hands and a date feature at 3 o’clock, this elegant Presage timepiece comes with a brown calf leather strap.

It features a 4R35 automatic movement that is accurate to +45 / -35 seconds per day.

Seiko Presage: Timeless looks, precise mechanical timekeeping; minimalistic watch designs with a distinctly Japanese aesthetic.
