Full details

It offers a distinct aesthetic inspired by Brian May's legendary guitar, providing a reliable day-date movement within a striking red and gold chassis; however, its bold color scheme and limited-edition design may be too specialized for those seeking a neutral, everyday professional watch.

FAQs

Is this watch waterproof?

It is water-resistant up to 100 meters (10 bar), suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for scuba diving.

How do I maintain the automatic movement?

Wear the watch consistently to keep the mainspring wound, or use a watch winder if it is not worn daily.

Does the watch come with a warranty?

Yes, it includes Seiko's standard international warranty, which covers manufacturing defects.

What is the significance of the Sixpence included?

The lucky sixpence is a tribute to Brian May, who famously uses a sixpence coin as a guitar plectrum.

Can I replace the strap?

Yes, the watch features standard lug widths, allowing you to easily swap the nylon strap for leather or stainless steel alternatives.

Troubleshooting

Watch stops or loses time

Ensure the watch is fully wound by manually rotating the crown 20-30 times or wearing it regularly for several hours.

Date is changing in the middle of the day

The watch operates on a 24-hour cycle. Advance the time by 12 hours to correct the AM/PM setting.

Nylon strap feels stiff

Nylon straps often soften with repeated wear and contact with moisture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Unique design inspired by a legendary musical instrument
High-quality automatic movement with manual winding
Collector-focused presentation box and commemorative accessories
Excellent value for a limited edition collaboration piece

Cons

Bold red color may limit versatility with formal attire
Limited edition availability may make future repairs difficult
Nylon strap may require replacement for those preferring steel bracelets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time, pull the crown to the second click and rotate to adjust the hands. The day and date are adjusted at the first click; rotate clockwise for the date and counter-clockwise for the day. Because this is an automatic watch, it will wind itself through the natural motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped, manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise in its base position.

Care Instructions:

Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields.
Rinse the stainless steel case with fresh water after exposure to saltwater.
Keep the nylon strap clean by wiping it with a mild, damp cloth and allowing it to air dry.
Service the mechanical movement every 3 to 5 years to ensure long-term accuracy.
