Watch Straps to Suit the Seiko Cocktail Time Presage Collection

The Seiko Cocktail Time Presage Collection is a beautiful range produced by leading watchmakers Seiko, who value perfection and artistry. So what is the Cocktail collection and what straps would suit your new Seiko Cocktail watch?

The History of the Seiko Cocktail Time Presage Collection

The first of the Seiko Cocktail collection was released in 2010, paying homage to the elegant aesthetic of cocktail bars. These are designed to show the sleek and dressy nature of the locations- making for a great dress watch. 

The collection was first inspired by the Ishinohana Bar in Shibuya run by one of the world’s leading mixologists, Ishigaki Shinobu. Due to the cocktail inspirations, they often come with colourful and intricate dials, including beautiful shades of blue, green, silver, white and brown.

The watches, as described by Seiko themselves, have many respectable features that make the collection special. This includes the slim, shining markers on the watch dials that evoke the imagery of a cocktail glass stem. As well as having classical box-shaped hardlex crystals with delicately curved hands.

The Cocktail Time Presage range was added to the Presage line in 2017. The Presage line is among Seiko’s more premium watches, which are highly mechanical, with top-notch 6R and 8R movements.
