Contemporary Seiko release tracking confirms both the Thailand-market status and 350-piece production. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe centerpiece is its extraordinary electric-blue dial. The color is unusually difficult to describe accurately, shifting from brilliant sky blue to aquamarine and turquoise toward the center, while under different lighting conditions the entire dial can transform into substantially darker shades of blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also an exceptionally difficult dial to photograph. Even when captured with both DSLR and smartphone cameras, the intensity and particular turquoise-blue hue seen by the naked eye can be noticeably different from what appears through the camera.\u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe SRPC45J1 was released in 2018 as one of a pair of extremely limited Cocktail Time models produced specifically for Thailand. The Blue Planet SRPC45J1 was accompanied by the SRPC46J1 “Manhattan Sky,” with each reference limited to just 350 pieces. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese Thai-market releases are particularly interesting within the wider Presage collection. While the fundamental Cocktail Time architecture remained familiar, Seiko experimented with much bolder colors than those generally found on the internationally distributed models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Planet is perhaps the best example of this approach. Rather than the darker navy tones associated with watches such as the standard Blue Moon, the SRPC45J1 uses an exceptionally vivid electric blue\/turquoise treatment that gives the familiar radial Cocktail Time dial an entirely different character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications and Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReference: SRPC45J1\u003cbr\u003eCollection: Seiko Presage Cocktail Time\u003cbr\u003eNickname: Blue Planet\u003cbr\u003eRelease: 2018\u003cbr\u003eMarket: Thailand Exclusive\u003cbr\u003eLimited Edition: 350 Pieces\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximately 40.5mm Case Diameter\u003cbr\u003eApproximately 12mm Thickness\u003cbr\u003e20mm Lug Width\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosing Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Blue Planet is one of those rare watches where photographs genuinely struggle to communicate what the dial looks like in person. Its combination of the signature Cocktail Time radial pattern with an almost neon-like electric blue creates an effect that changes dramatically with both lighting and viewing angle. Other collectors have similarly described the dial as appearing more turquoise in person than photographs suggest. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThailand has received some of Seiko’s most adventurous regional limited editions, and the SRPC45J1 is a particularly memorable example.
