Seiko Presage Cocktail Time SRPL20J: A Unique Collaboration with Lark Distillery

Seiko has unveiled its latest creation, the Presage Cocktail Time SRPL20J, a limited-edition timepiece that showcases Seiko’s craftsmanship while celebrating Australian culture. This special edition is a collaboration with the award-winning Tasmanian whisky distillery, Lark, and is inspired by the bespoke cocktail "Ichigo Ichie" created exclusively for this partnership. Limited to only 1,000 pieces worldwide, the SRPL20J blends Seiko’s horological excellence with the artisanal spirit of Lark Distillery, offering a watch that is as meaningful as it is elegant.

Ichigo Ichie: The Philosophy Behind the Design

At the heart of this collaboration is the Japanese concept of "Ichigo Ichie", which translates to "once in a lifetime." This philosophy emphasizes the importance of cherishing each moment, a sentiment echoed both in the creation of Lark’s fine whiskies and Seiko’s meticulous watchmaking. The Ichigo Ichie cocktail itself is a celebration of fleeting moments, featuring refreshing and subtle flavours that complement Lark's Classic Cask Whisky. The warm, rose gold tones of the drink are reflected in the watch's design, from the rose gold-plated case to the finely detailed champagne sunray dial

Sophisticated Design and Premium Craftsmanship

The Seiko Presage Cocktail Time SRPL20J features a 40.5mm rose gold-plated steel case that perfectly captures the sophistication of a classic dress watch. The off-white champagne dial has an engraved radial sunburst pattern, adding depth and elegance to the face, while the sleek black leather strap with a rose gold clasp provides a stylish contrast. The dial’s rose gold hands and markers are paired with a date display at 3 o’clock, making the watch functional yet refined

One of the standout features of this timepiece is its exhibition case back, which showcases the movement in action. Each watch is individually numbered and marked with “Limited Edition,” adding to its exclusivity. The mechanical movement, Caliber 4R35, offers a 41-hour power reserve, is self-winding, and also supports manual winding, providing versatility for watch enthusiasts

Perfect for Collectors and Enthusiasts

The SRPL20J is not only a symbol of luxury but also a tribute to those who appreciate craftsmanship. Each watch comes in a special edition timber box inspired by the barrels used to age Lark whiskies, adding a unique collector's value to the piece

With water resistance up to 50 meters and a scratch-resistant Hardlex crystal, this watch is both durable and timeless, designed to be worn and cherished for years to come

Priced at $950 AUD, the Seiko SRPL20J is available at Seiko boutiques and select retailers across Australia and New Zealand, making it an accessible luxury for those looking to own a piece of this exclusive collaboration

For watch collectors and whisky connoisseurs alike, the Seiko Presage Cocktail Time SRPL20J is a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity to own a timepiece that merges two art forms: the fine art of whisky making and the precision of Japanese watchmaking.
