What to know

Traditional Kyoto dry gardens inspire the geometric texture of the Presage Japanese Garden Twilight Green. A broad dial aperture reveals the moving automatic mechanism beneath, balancing the finely patterned green dial with a warm rose-gold-tone case, matching hands and Roman numerals. A brown leather strap completes the dusky palette.

The 41.8mm watch uses Seiko's 4R71 automatic with about 41 hours of reserve, manual winding and stop-seconds. Its dual-curved sapphire crystal is more scratch resistant than the Cocktail Time models' Hardlex, although water resistance is only splash-resistant. Introduced September 2026, the green HCB007J1 is priced at €730 in Belgium.
