SEIKO 5 SPORTS MENS AUTOMATIC SRPH80K1

Introducing a second collaboration model between Seiko 5 Sports and Brian May, guitarist of legendary rock band QUEEN!
Brian’s favorite guitar, the «Red Special,» inspires this gold-colored design in the special series.

Brian Harold May

Throughout his career, rock legend Brian May has relied upon his «Red Special» Guitar to create the sound that helped make Queen one of the world’s most admired and celebrated rock bands. He has also relied on Seiko. For more than 40 years, Brian has worn a Seiko diver’s watch whose enduringly popular design is the inspiration for the latest Seiko 5 Sports collection. Brian bought his Seiko watch while first on tour in Japan in the 1970s. Since then, his guitar and watch have travelled the globe together – making great music and keeping great time.

Dial & Case

As with the first collaboration model, the dial recreates the fine details of the legendary guitar with a pressed pattern reminiscent of the texture of the wood, its glossy finish and gradated coloring. 43 mm.

This case is a special gold-color version, requested by Brian himself, inspired by the newly released ‘Gold Series’ reissues of his solo albums.

Strap

The nylon strap is decorated with vertical stripes designed to resemble guitar strings.

Case back

The watch is offered as a limited edition with Brian’s signature on the case back alongside «LIMITED EDITION» and the serial number 00001/12500 – 12500/12500.

Special Box

The presentation box which accompanies the piece is reminiscent of a guitar case and comes with a replica of the ‘lucky sixpence’ coin which Brian uses instead of a guitar pick. Both highlight this timepiece as a special watch to be worn and enjoyed as well as an ideal collector’s piece.
