The Collection. Often the first port of call for those exploring the Seiko brand, and I don’t blame them - the Cocktail Collection offers standout design at a very reasonable price.
The Quality. It would be absurd of me to claim the finishing or design is approaching the level of Grand Seiko. However, it should be noted that you’re paying an eighth of the price of a Grand Seiko, but receiving something closer to half the quality rather than an eighth of it. Admittedly, this feels like #boymaths, so I'm probably not willing to defend the science behind my claims.
The Dial. What I am willing to defend, however, is its beauty. A radiating guilloché-style pattern covers the white dial with a subtle texture, framed by twelve dagger indices that catch the light just as well as the wide-edged dauphine hands.
The Theme. You’ll already have noticed the striking 12 and 6 o’clock markers - but their unusual shape is more than just a design quirk. They were designed to tie in with the cocktail theme, resembling dual spirit measures or elegant martini glasses.
Specifications:
Condition: In very good condition overall. Some small marks can be seen on the bezel, but it’s mostly very free of blemishes.
All of our watches are inspected and verified for authenticity - both inside and out. We have over 15 years of sourcing and collecting rare watches in Japan, which is often considered to be one of the best markets for authentic and fully original vintage watches.
Do you ship globally?
We are based in Japan and regularly ship all over the world. We typically use FedEx and it takes:
3-7 business days to reach North America
3-7 business days to reach Europe
3-7 business days to reach Asia and Oceania.
All of our packages are securely shipped, fully insured, and trackable door-to-door.
What condition are your watches?
Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of the watches we typically sell, the condition varies from watch to watch. However, our photos are high resolution and our descriptions are accurate. You can buy with confidence knowing there won't be any nasty surprises.
If the condition of a watch is ever misrepresented, we would offer a full refund.
Are all of your watches serviced?
Most but not all of our watches are serviced. The "Condition" section of each watch will confirm if the watch has been serviced.
All of our watches are tested by an independent watchmaker - if a service is needed, the watch will be serviced. If a service hasn't been conducted, it's because the watch itself is too new to need a service, or there is evidence of a recent service.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept payment by all major Credit Cards and Wise.com
Do I have to pay customs or taxes?
It depends on so many factors, including but not limited to the cost of the watch, the type of watch you've bought (vintage or new), and the import laws of your country. If you're unsure we recommend checking the import laws that relate to your country before ordering.
Are your watches water resistant?
Our serviced watches are typically tested to their original water resistant specifications, but we would never recommend pushing vintage or neo-vintage watches to their depth limits.
What is your returns policy?
Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of most of our watches, we do not offer returns under normal circumstances. All sales should be considered final.
