Review of SEIKO Brown Leather Watch SRPC99J1

The Golden Champagne Cocktail model from Seiko Presage is characterized by its champagne hands inspired by a cocktail, the Golden Champagne. This Presage cocktail watch has a mechanism that is an in-house-built 4R35 automatic movement. This caliber movement is complete with 23 Jewels and a 41-hour power reserve. 

Japanese cocktail is a well-known and much-admired aspect of the Japanese culture and provides inspiration for this new Presage collection. The hands are delicately curved by the craftsmen. By turning the crown in a unique way, you can feel the force of the automatic movement. Both in design and manufacturing values, Presage belongs firmly in this tradition and offers the very highest levels of reliability and durability over time. Each Presage watch is built to last for generations.
