25% off RRP of a limited edition Seiko, 1000 pieces - so actually limited? IMO last year's SRPK50J was much better looking, but beggars can't be choosers.
Following the successful collaboration with the award-winning Australian whisky distillery, LARK, Seiko Australia is proud to announce its second Presage Cocktail Time Australasian Limited Edition SRPL20J, inspired by the bespoke cocktail Ichigo Ichie created by LARK Distillery.
Limited to 1,000 pieces, this latest timepiece pays tribute to the Japanese philosophy of Ichigo Ichie the art of making the most of every moment. This philosophy resonates deeply with the meticulous craftsmanship of Seiko watches and the artisanal spirit of LARK whiskies, brought together in this exciting collaboration.
The striking rose gold gradient tones of the watch are paired with timepieces rose gold hands, hour markers, and case, while the dial is enriched with a textured sunray engraving.
Driven by the Calibre 4R35 movement, the watch is paired with a black leather strap, elegantly finished with a rose gold-coloured folding clasp, offering a sophisticated contrast that enhances its versatility. The exhibition case back of the timepiece is marked with the words Limited Edition and the serial number, allowing the wearer to view the automatic mechanical movement in action.
Each limited-edition watch comes with a special presentation dark timber box, making it a perfect addition to any watch collection.

Lark 1 had an interesting dial, almost GS-like.
Lark 2 looks like a regular rose gold cocktail time with a sunburst dial and nothing interesting about it at all design wise.
I got the first one because it was proper LE, much like their older LE whiskies from ~2010-2015. This second one is a total cash grab; overpriced, and boring low ABV shit, like their new LE whiskies (after Bill Lark sold out) which are total cash grabs imo. If you want a nice single cask Lark, get a Killara.
