Thanks,
Yep there is European warranty card in the box but its blank not stamped or filled in
Out of interest what can cause watch go dramatically slower, I remember reading in this tread
similar problem with Seiko couple of years ago if not mistaken
Ricochet-
I had a watch that had apparently become magnetised before, which made it run wildly off, think it was fast in that case.

Magnetism is one cause but I have been told by more than one industry person that if the watch (the balance spring specifically) is magnetised, the watch will always run faster, not slower.
I had a Seiko with a 6R that ran really well, until it suddenly didn’t. That started running a lot slower, and the watch wasn’t magnetised as far as I could tell - at least, using a degausser made no difference, and being a divers watch it had a degree of magnetic resistance built in. Seiko fixed it under warranty, which I believe for the 6R is simply swapping the whole movement out for a replacement one.

You should have a stamped warranty card with the purchase date inside the box.
Even if not, the proof of purchase might be enough - worth an email to service [at] seiko.co.uk and see what they say.
