QUEEN - Brian May x Seiko Sports 5: Limited Edition; Video
February 17, 2022, 2 years ago
Introducing a second collaboration model between Seiko 5 Sport and Queen guitarist, Brian May. Brian's favorite guitar, the "Red Special," inspires this gold-coloured design in the special series.
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.
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.
This case is a special gold-color version, requested by Brian himself, inspired by the newly released 'Gold Series' reissues of his solo albums.
- Special box like guitar case with collectors gold sixpence
- Limited Edition of only 12,500 worldwide
- Automatic with manual winding capacity
Proceeds from the sale of the watch will be donated 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.

The watch goes on worldwide sale on March 11. QueenOnline’s store will be selling a very limited amount from that date.
