Ask any artist if their latest work is going to be a big popular success and most times the answer will be that they don't know. Sometimes that number 7 on an album turns out to be a song that really strikes a chord with the masses. Seiko had a similar thing with a model that inspired the now iconic Cocktail Time model line. The Seiko Presage SRE014 is part of this iconic line, more specifically in collaboration with the STAR BAR, and you can easily see why this model caught on so well. A dial like this is a stroke of genius, nicknamed the Pinky Twilight. When it comes to dress watches the details and smallest nuances can make a huge impact, which is why it's so hard to make a truly inspiring model. What Seiko did was get the details just right. Everything from the domed Hardlex mineral crystal, the elegantly shaped 30.3mm (37mm lug to lug) case and the dauphine hands make the Cocktail Time into a very exciting watch that is a joy to look at each time you check the time. 

Under the hood is the reliable mechanical, automatic, Seiko Cal. 2R05, which is also visible through the caseback window. Of course this is an in-house Seiko movement, in line with the rich history of the brand.

With the Cocktail Time you are purchasing an iconic, high quality, watch that stands out in all the right ways and makes you realise that while the success may have been unexpected initially, it's entirely justified. 

The Seiko SRE014 is a special model that is limited to 5000 pieces worldwide.

  3 year warranty

  Seiko watches come with a 3 year warranty. This covers all mechanical malfunction arising from parts failure and/or assembly errors. Excluded are parts that by their nature may not last 3 years, like batteries and leather straps, damage/problems caused by improper use and wear and tear. We stand behind the brands that we sell and the quality that they offer.
  Some of our brands also offer an international warranty, which will also apply.

  Service and parts

  In the unfortunate event of a problem with your watch, you simply need to send it to us (or take it to another dealer if the brand offers an international warranty). We have access to the official service centers, where only original parts are used and the watchmakers are qualified and experienced with your type of watch. Not every watch movement is the same, so it's best if it's handled by people who know what they are doing.
  After your 2 years warranty has expired we are able to offer service in most cases.
