Inspired by the Refreshing Elegance of Japanese Cocktail Culture

The Seiko Presage Cocktail Time HCB002J1 "Crushed Ice Mint Mist" is a refined expression of Japanese craftsmanship, inspired by the artistry of cocktail making at Tokyo's renowned STAR BAR. Taking its name from the Mint Mist cocktail, a refreshing blend of white rum, mint liqueur and crushed ice, this elegant automatic timepiece captures the cool vibrancy of its inspiration through a beautifully textured green dial.

Part of the latest evolution of the celebrated Cocktail Time collection, the HCB002J1 combines timeless design with dependable mechanical watchmaking, creating a sophisticated dress watch that is equally suited to everyday wear and special occasions.

A Dial That Shimmers Like Crushed Ice

The centrepiece of the HCB002J1 is its striking Mint Mist green dial, featuring a unique pressed texture inspired by crushed ice. As light moves across the dial, countless reflections create remarkable depth and movement, ensuring the watch looks subtly different from every angle.

Adding further dimension is a delicate colour gradient across the upper section of the dial, introduced for the first time within this new Cocktail Time series. Polished dauphine hands, applied indexes and a neatly integrated date display at three o'clock complete the elegant, balanced design.

Reliable Automatic Performance

Powering the HCB002J1 is Seiko's trusted 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 reflects Seiko's longstanding expertise in accessible mechanical watchmaking, delivering dependable performance day after day.

Refined Proportions for Everyday Wear

The latest Cocktail Time models introduce a more versatile 38.5mm stainless steel case, offering elegant proportions that suit a wide range of wrist sizes.

The case is paired with a brown leather bracelet and protected by a box-shaped Hardlex crystal, maintaining the vintage-inspired aesthetic that has become synonymous with the Cocktail Time collection. A transparent case back reveals the automatic movement, while 50 metres (5 bar) of water resistance provides confidence for everyday wear. 

Inspired by the Craft of Japanese Bartending

Created in collaboration with Tokyo's famous STAR BAR, the Presage Cocktail Time collection celebrates the precision, creativity and hospitality of Japanese cocktail culture. Every model draws inspiration from an individual drink, translating colour, texture and atmosphere into a distinctive dial.

With its cool green tones and crystalline texture, the Mint Mist is one of the collection's freshest interpretations, perfectly capturing the refreshing character of its namesake cocktail while showcasing Seiko's exceptional dial-making expertise.
