SEIKO COCKTAIL TIME SARB065 Japan Domestic Market only watch with 6R15 movement - Brand New in Box
Brand new sealed in box - bought direct from Japan Let’s start with a little background. Back in , Seiko teamed up with Ishigaki Shinobu, Japan’s “top bartender”, to produces a line of upper-mainstream watches for the domestic market. Shinobu-San designed three “Cocktail Time” watches: SARB065 was “Cool”, SARB066 “Dry”, and the limited (to 300 pieces) SARB068 “Sweet”. All of these are part of the upper-class Seiko-branded SARB line and use the high-spec mainstream 6R15 automatic movement. A derivative of the ubiquitous 7S26 movement, the 6R15 adds hacking and hand-winding and boasts 50 hours of power thanks to a SPRON 510 mainspring. It ticks at an amazing A/h and is lightly decorated, but the 6R15 is at least competitive with high end Swiss movements from the likes of ETA. Great watch and super rare in the UK Ad ID:
