Seiko Presage Cocktail Time “Daiquiri” GMT Gold Automatic Watch HCB004J JDM (40.5 mm, Caliber 4R34 Dual Time, Made in Japan, Gold-Plated Steel)

Description and Key Features

The Seiko Presage Cocktail Time HCB004J is a JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) dress watch manufactured entirely in Japan. Inspired by the hues of the Daiquiri cocktail, it combines an all-over gold finish with the Presage series’ iconic textured dial, whose faceted radial pattern refracts light to mimic the relief of cut glass in a classic cocktail glass.

Inside, it houses the Seiko Caliber 4R34, an automatic mechanical movement that incorporates a second time zone (GMT/Dual Time function) via a fourth central hand that traverses the 24-hour scale. Its 40.5 mm diameter and 12.8 mm thick case is crafted from gold-plated steel, matching the metal bracelet, and features a curved, box-shaped Hardlex crystal that reinforces its classic mid-century aesthetic.
