Seiko Presage Cocktail Time Review - Open Heart Blue Moon - R.I.P. Dad Watch - SSA405J1

As an avid "watch guy", my one rule for watches is that each timepiece needs to mark a specific moment in time or pay tribute to a specific person in my life, and for my dear late father, I've chosen the Seiko Presage SSA405J1, colloquially named the Seiko Cocktail Time Blue Moon with an Open Heart and in this video, I'd love to unbox, review, and share this Open Heart Blue Moon with you.

I love mechanical watches; it's mind-boggling to me how these marvels of engineering and design and fit on our wrists, but what I love more about watches in general, are the stories that accompany them, and I'd love to hear yours in the comments.

There is, by the way, a brand new 2021 Seiko Presage Cocktail Time Open Heart called the Acapulco Blue that's very similar to this Blue Moon, and it bears the model number SSA439J1 (as opposed to this one, SSA405J1), where the dial is a lighter more aqua blue, but carries the same geocentric circular pattern, and, instead of a leather strap, comes with a matching steel bracelet; really gorgeous too.

If 40.5mm is too big for you, This is one of the fewer Cocktail Times by Seiko that also comes in an identical 34mm variant for women or those looking for a smaller dial, and it bears the model number Seiko SSA785J1.

Regardless, you really can't go wrong with any Seiko Presage, Cocktail Time collection or not. It's unanimous in the watch-collecting world, in that no watch-collector can deny that when it comes to dial-finishing bang-for-buck, no one can touch Seiko. Their dials consistently rival watches at 10X their pricepoints in terms of detail, craftsmanship, and materials.

This won't be my daily watch; it's more of a dress watch, but it'll still proudly sit in my EDC (everyday carry watch) collection. Are you into watches? I'd love to know a watch you own that means something important to you!

Let's Get It Together!
