Model Background – Star Bar Limited Edition 2022

The Seiko Presage SSA455J1 Star Bar Limited 2022 is part of the Cocktail Time “Star Bar” series, inspired by Tokyo’s STAR BAR and master bartender Hisashi Kishi.

This limited edition of 5,000 pieces worldwide draws inspiration from the cocktail “Illumine,” capturing the glow and texture of champagne under ambient lighting.

Dial & Special Features

The dial is the defining feature of this model. Inspired by the cocktail “Illumine,” it presents a fibre-like champagne texture that radiates outward like fine strands.

Under different lighting conditions, the dial shifts between warm ivory and soft gold tones, creating a luminous, liquid-like appearance.

The multi-cut open-heart design adds depth and visual movement:

With no date window, the layout remains clean and symmetrical, complemented by polished indices and dauphine hands.

Case & Movement Details

The caseback is engraved with the model number (SSA455J1) and limited edition markings, an important detail for authenticity and collectability.
