Seiko's contemporary Cocktail Time series features bright, glossy dials reminiscent of colourful cocktails. Inspired by Japanese cocktail culture in Tokyo's Ginza district, each watch is named after a specific cocktail. The tradition of "nomunication hour" - a hybrid of nomu (drink) and communication - is all about ending the working day with a cocktail and a chat, and each timepiece named after drinks mixed by Hisashi Kishi, head barman and owner of the Star Bar in Tokyo's Ginza district. Given the proximity of Seiko's head office to the Star Bar, one can only imagine how many watches were casually planned during nomunication hour.

Features:

The Theme. Designed by the head barman of the “Star Bar” in Tokyo, the heavily patterned “Tequila Sunset” dial pays homage to the texture you might find on a crystal-cut tumbler. The hour indices borrow their font from the labels of vintage liquor bottles found in the Star Bar. And to top it all off, the second hand is designed to look like a cocktail stirrer! Maximum points for consistently sticking to a theme.

Limited Edition. Numbered on the case back as 161/5000. It’s doesn’t really mean anything, but it’s nicer to have a lower number than a higher number!

Polished Steel Dress Case. Thin, sleek and with no visible wear. Perfectly juxtaposed against the mesh Milanese bracelet and heavily textured dial.

Original Milanese Bracelet. Extremely comfortable and easy to adjust.

Condition: Minimal wear. No visible scratches on the crystal.

FAQs

Are your watches authentic?

Everything we sell is 100% authentic.

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.
