The Star Bar SRPK75 “Purple Sunset”

Seiko Presage Purple Sunset Cocktail Time Limited Edition 40.5mm Mens watch SRPK75J is an automatic movement watch. A 2024 release, the Star Bar Limited Edition SRPK75J is limited to 9000 pieces globally. Made in Japan.

Traditionally in Japan ‘Nomunication hour’ – a hybrid of nomu (drink) and communication, is after 5pm – when it’s cocktail hour and time to talk things over. The Seiko Presage Cocktail Time collection was inspired by this Japanese custom – with each timepiece named after drinks mixed by Hisashi Kishi, head bartender of Star Bar in Tokyo’s Ginza area.

Hisashi Kishi has created a menu of Seiko-inspired original cocktails under the theme of ‘Tokyo Magic Hour’ adding interesting sips to his already-extensive repertoire. One of which is the ‘Purple Sunset’ – Purple at the top of the glass and orange at the bottom, the subtle deep gradation is designed to look like the late embers of the sun setting over Tokyo skies.

The first new Presage Cocktail Time Star Bar limited edition is the SRPK75 “Purple Sunset.” This is the gents’ piece, and it features a stainless steel case with a 40.5mm diameter, a 47.5mm lug-to-lug, and an 11.8mm thickness. It is paired with a burgundy 20mm calfskin strap and a folding push-button clasp. Seiko uses its 4R35 automatic movement inside, which offers hacking seconds, a date function, and a 41-hour power reserve. It’s on display via the transparent case back. As this is a more affordable model, Seiko uses a Hardlex crystal, but the watch is relatively usable for daily wear with its 50m water resistance rating.
