Seiko Presage Cocktail - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

I had been eyeing this Seiko for months, and I couldn't afford it, because I was a student and had a low income. Limited edition, it completely disappears from sales websites once you have the means in your pocket. It was only during a completely random detour in a shopping mall that I came across a model on display in a store, and I left with it without hesitation. The Presage Cocktail range needs no introduction, but this is the limited "Houjou" model. The dial is simply captivating: this champagne shade, decorat…

An elegant and pleasant watch to wear. Pleasant to wear, discreet and comfortable, it is perfect to accompany a suit for work or a light outfit for aperitif dinner. Following a dazzling success in Japan, production was relaunched to address the European market. From a personal point of view, this watch makes me want to read the time every 5 minutes.

I am impressed by the value for money of this little marvel! It is a 3-piece box with a very simple but effective design. It has an automatic movement that can be admired through the transparent back. The ice-box allows a perfect view of the dial. It is engraved with shapes reminiscent of the glasses in which the "Negroni" is served. The decoration is covered with a red resin (?) which results in a gradient of intense depth. The even hours are represented by Arabic numerals and the odd hours by elongated trap…

This watch is the one that is closest to my heart in my collection! It is not the most expensive, it is not the rarest but it is mine! Before being passionate about watchmaking, I was passionate about the Japanese world. Manga, anime, and many other things. However, over time, this passion faded until it became almost absent in my life. Why? Because the passion for watchmaking came to replace it! But I had to pay a last tribute to my old passion that followed me from primary school to high school...so what could…

Already having a Seiko 5 in my collection, I had wanted for some time to upgrade to the Seiko range and the absolutely hypnotizing design of this Seiko Presage Cocktail Time Mojito convinced me immediately. Its green dial that changes color depending on the tilt of the watch and the lighting is absolutely magnificent and reminds me of the atmosphere of Japanese films from the 80s, these golden hands and indexes emphasize the vintage side of the watch, as do the format of the case and the crown. The very simple dial…

The Seiko Presage Cocktail (SRPE41J1) is a watch that has a certain reputation among us watch fans today, and for good reason. Whether it is its guilloché dial, its domed glass, or even the applied indexes, everything is aesthetically successful on this model, and the sun sublimates all these elements when you have fun with it. As for the caliber, a 4R35 powers the watch, it is neither the most renowned nor the most reliable, but it nevertheless remains solid on its supports with its 41 hours of power reserve, whil…

My first automatic watch. When I started my collection, I fell in love with this model in the store. It absorbs and reflects light depending on the viewing angle and the ambient light. It has its flaws: the fragile glass and its slightly cheap leather strap! But it is this watch that made me dive back into the world of beautiful watches. It will always have a special place in my heart!

While I was walking quietly in Lyon, I stopped to discover the Seiko boutique, my gaze passed without emotion over the divers, when suddenly... I (re)discovered the Presage series, beyond the photos and videos on the internet: I immediately fell in love with this magnificent Seiko Cocktail "Blue Moon"! Its dial superbly catches the light, as do its polished indexes and hands; its little "bonus" that makes all its charm? The integration of the power reserve: both discreet and so readable, it is useful, practical, an…

This Seiko Presage Coktail is dressed in a sunburst sky blue background and a black leather strap enhanced with blue stitching. It is equipped with a 6RI5C movement. I have owned it for about 10 years. It is elegant and very discreet. Small point to note, it seems that the new identical Presage Coktails no longer have the same movement, they have a 4R35 movement and the inscription on the dial "Présage automatic" has replaced the inscription "automatic 23 jewels".

I would never have imagined one day wearing such a flashy watch, to make matters worse, it has a diameter of 40. But strangely, I like it a lot, and especially this dial background that Seiko knows how to master so well. The only small downside that is no longer today, was its bracelet, help!!!! I quickly replaced it, the same day with a very good quality lizard bracelet.
