Highlights:
- Brain May Red Special 2 Limited Edition watch.
- Seiko is proud to launch a limited edition timepiece in collaboration with the Queen guitarist Brian May.
- Brian has worn a Seiko diver’s watch for over 40 years, purchased on his first ever trip to Japan in the 1970s - since when his guitar and his watch have travelled the globe together, making great music, keeping great time.
- The latest gold colour accented design, inspired again by his ‘Red Special’ guitar, is inspired by the latest remastered Brian May solo albums within his 'Gold Series.'.
- In the last 21 years, The Mercury Phoenix Trust founded by Brian May, Roger Taylor and their manager Jim Beach in memory of rock band Queen’s iconic lead singer Freddie Mercury, has given away over 17 million dollars and funded over 1000 projects in 57 countries in the global battle against HIV/AIDS.
- Proceeds from the sale of the watch will be donated to The Mercury Phoenix Trust founded by Brian May, Roger Taylor and their manager Jim Beach in memory of rock band Queen’s iconic lead singer Freddie Mercury.
- This timepiece features Brian’s signature on its clear caseback and comes with a special presentation box inspired by the bespoke travel case of the ‘Red Special’ guitar, along with a commemorative lucky Sixpence which Brian uses as a plectrum.
- Its nylon strap is designed to emulate the guitar strap used by Brian May today.
- "Red Special" Seiko 5 Sports watch dial resembles the style of the guitar that Brian and his father built in the early 1960s.
- The dial features a delicate wood-like pattern like the body of the guitar.
- The case back features Brian's signature and also limited edition number.
- This watch is a limited edition of 12500 pieces worldwide.
- The mechanism used is an in-house-built 4R36 automatic movement and manual winding. This movement has 24 Jewels and a 41-hour power reserve.
