Seiko - Seiko 5 - SRPH80K1 - Men - 2022

SEIKO 5 SPORTS x BRIAN MAY "RED SPECIAL II" SRPH80K1 — LIMITED EDITION OF 12,500 PIECES WORLDWIDE
"The time of a legend, on your wrist. Forever."
If you’ve come this far, you already know: you’re not watching a watch. You’re looking at a piece of rock history.

Freddie sang "Who Wants to Live Forever"… but this watch will live forever in your collection. With each passing day, a piece becomes unavailable. With each day you wait, someone else is already wearing it in your place.
WHAT MAKES THIS WATCH IRREPLACEABLE
A legendary collaboration:
Following the enormous success of the Seiko 5 Sports Brian May of 2020, the Japanese brand and the legendary Queen guitarist team up for a second chapter.
Inspired by the "Red Special":
The dial recreates the fine details of the legendary guitar with a pressed pattern that recalls wood texture, its glossy finish, and the shaded color. The gold tone of the case was personally requested by Brian, inspired by the "Gold Series", the reissue of his solo albums.
The story behind the guitar:
For over 40 years, Brian wore a Seiko diver watch whose design inspired the latest Seiko 5 Sports collection. Brian bought his Seiko during the first tour in Japan in the 1970s. Since then, his guitar and his watch have traveled the world together — making great music and keeping perfect time.

THE CUSTODY: AN EXPERIENCE, NOT A BOX
The packaging accompanying the piece is a case reminiscent of a guitar case and includes a replica of the "lucky sixpence" coin that Brian uses instead of a pick.
Both elements emphasize that this is a special watch to wear and enjoy, as well as an ideal collectible.
A NOBLE CAUSE — FREDDIE LIVES THROUGH THIS WATCH
Seiko will donate a portion of the proceeds from selling this timepiece to the Mercury Phoenix Trust, a charitable organization founded by Brian May, Roger Taylor, and Queen manager Jim Beach, in memory of Freddie Mercury, to fund the fight against HIV/AIDS worldwide.
Wearing this watch, you don’t just carry Queen’s music on your wrist: you carry Freddie Mercury’s legacy forward.

WHY YOU CAN'T LET IT SLIP AWAY
It’s not a watch you’ll find in stores tomorrow.
Limited to 12,500 pieces worldwide, each piece is individually numbered.
Its value is rising.
Brian May personally chose the gold design. This isn’t a generic licensed product: it’s the artist’s vision.
Includes the sixpence replica — the most iconic item after the Red Special itself.
Every true Queen fan has the records, the T-shirts, the concert tickets. But how many have a Brian May-signed watch back, numbered, in a guitar-shaped case?
This isn’t a purchase. It’s an appointment in the pantheon of true Queen fans.
