The Cocktail Time line grew out of Tokyo’s bar culture, and each dial is designed to evoke a specific cocktail. The SRPB43’s radial blue dial shifts from navy to electric blue as the light changes, and it looks far more expensive in person than in photos. Under the display caseback is Seiko’s dependable 4R35.
Who it’s for
Buyers who want a dress watch with personality. It’s also a common gift for weddings, graduations and anniversaries.
Buying tips
- The box-shaped crystal reflects light. It’s part of the look, but it isn’t sapphire, so it can scratch.
- Check the listing’s reference number. Several Cocktail Time dials look similar in photos.
- The factory leather strap is short-lived. Plan to replace it.
