Brian May has teamed up with Japanese watchmaker Seiko to create a new watch inspired by his signature Red Special electric guitar.

Limited to just 12,500 examples worldwide, the watch is Seiko's second collaboration with the Queen guitarist. By May's request, it features a gold finish, in reference to the recent "Gold Series" reissues of his solo albums.
