# Best Seiko Presage watches: Cocktail Time, Style 60s and GMT

Presage is Seiko's dressier mechanical line, and most of its appeal is the dial. Cocktail Time models use pressed, glossy patterns named after drinks. Style 60s models borrow from 1960s Seiko designs. The movement tells you what the watch does. Every pick here runs a 4R-family automatic where the listing names one: the 4R35 for date only, the 4R34 for a GMT hand, the 4R39 for an open-aperture dial with 24-hour subdial, and the 4R57 for a power reserve indicator. Seiko's higher grade 6R calibers are not stated on any of these listings, so they are not covered here. All stated reserves are about 41 hours and all stated water ratings are 5 bar or 50 m, so the choice comes down to dial, size and complication. Prices run from $399 to $645.
