Inspired by the Art of Japanese Mixology

The Seiko Presage Cocktail Time HCB001J1 "Crushed Ice Emerald Mist" is a captivating addition to the celebrated Cocktail Time collection, drawing inspiration from the artistry of Japanese bartending and the vibrant colours of handcrafted cocktails. Inspired by the Emerald Mist, a refreshing blend of whisky, citrus and fruit liqueurs served over crushed ice, this elegant timepiece features one of the most visually striking dials ever introduced to the Presage collection.

Its mesmerising ice-textured dial catches and scatters light with every movement of the wrist, while a subtle graduated finish across the upper half of the dial creates remarkable depth. Combined with reliable Japanese mechanical watchmaking, the HCB001J1 perfectly balances sophistication with everyday wearability.

A Dial Inspired by Crushed Ice

The defining feature of the HCB001J1 is its beautifully textured Emerald Mist dial. Although named after the cocktail, the dial presents a crystalline blend of cool blue and emerald tones, recreating the appearance of crushed ice glistening beneath ambient light.

Unlike traditional sunburst finishes, the pressed texture creates constantly changing reflections, giving the watch an entirely different appearance from every angle. Seiko enhances this effect with a subtle colour gradient across the upper section of the dial, adding further dimension and elegance.

Polished dauphine hands, finely faceted indexes and a discreet date display at three o'clock complete the clean, contemporary design.

Reliable Automatic Performance

Powering the HCB001J1 is Seiko's dependable Calibre 4R35, an automatic mechanical movement renowned for its reliability and everyday practicality.

The movement features:

• Automatic mechanical movement
• Manual winding capability
• Approx. 41-hour power reserve
• 23 jewels
• Stop seconds (hacking) function
• Date display
• Accuracy of +45 / -35 seconds per day

Visible through the exhibition case back, the movement offers a glimpse into Seiko's mechanical craftsmanship while delivering dependable daily performance.

Elegant Proportions

The HCB001J1 introduces a refined new case size to the Cocktail Time collection, measuring 38.5mm in diameter. Its balanced proportions make it exceptionally versatile, sitting comfortably on a wide variety of wrist sizes.

Crafted from stainless steel and paired with a matching multi-link bracelet, the watch is protected by Seiko's durable Hardlex crystal. A transparent case back showcases the movement, while 50 metres (5 bar) of water resistance provides reassurance for everyday wear.

The Spirit of Cocktail Time

Since its introduction, the Presage Cocktail Time collection has become one of Seiko's most recognisable and admired ranges. Created in collaboration with Tokyo's renowned STAR BAR, each model takes inspiration from a carefully crafted cocktail, translating colour, texture and atmosphere into a beautifully executed dial.

The HCB001J1 continues this tradition with one of the collection's most contemporary interpretations, offering a fresh aesthetic while preserving the timeless elegance that has made Cocktail Time a favourite among collectors worldwide.
