Seiko 4R35 Cocktail Time – SRPB47J
I bought this Seiko Cocktail Time and thought it would be nice to do a blog post on it and its predecessor, the SARB065.
The Cocktail Time models were first introduced in the Japan domestic market and came with the 6R15 movement. They were offered under the Mechanical line with the most popular model being the SARB065. The 6R Cocktail Time models were however discontinued and new 4R based models were announced during Basel World 2017. These 4R Cocktail Time models have a similar design as their 6R predecessors but are powered by the 4R35 and 4R57 movements. They are no longer JDM models and are sold worldwide under the Presage line.

Seiko JDM Presage – SARX001
Had the opportunity to handle the new JDM Presage model, SARX001. Most Presage models are powered by different variants of the 4R movement. This model however is powered by the 6R15C movement.
The workmanship and finishing of this watch is similar to that of the 6R15 cocktail time models. One area which surpassed the previous 6R15 models is probably the dial and hour markers which stood out well to grabbed my attention.
Here are some pictures.
