Seiko SRPL99

Real Pepsi watches

According to its website, one of the two Pepsi watches is inspired by the heritage design of Seiko 5 Sports and the iconic blue, white, and red colors of Pepsi logos from the 1990s.

The watch called SRPL99 uses a 38mm case designed to fit most wrists comfortably, paired with a silver-toned white dial and white indexes frame in a blue colorway. Seiko added that at the 6 o'clock position, the typeface from the 1990s Pepsi logo is faithfully reproduced with its original proportions.

Inside, it is powered by the Caliber 4R36 automatic movement with 24 jewels and a 41-hour power reserve. It also arrived in a stainless steel strap. The watch crystal is hardlex.

The other version is based on the updated Pepsi logo with a bold blue and black color scheme. It uses a larger 42mm case with Caliber 4R34 movement and a GMT function that allows the hour hand and the 24-hour hand to display two time zones simultaneously.

This is also the first SKX-series GMT watch (SSK047) to feature a silicone strap. The "PEPSI" is embossed on the 12 o'clock side, while the Pepsi logo is placed at the tip of the 6 o'clock side. 

It also comes with 10 bar water resistance, 4,800 A/m magnetic resistance, hardlex crystal, LumiBrite on the hands and index(es).

Both arrived in cool-looking, Pepsi-can-inspired watch containers. Each features the Pepsi logo at its center with "LIMITED EDITION" text and a unique serial number.

We see this move playful swipe at Rolex's long-standing "Pepsi" aesthetic, without Rolex ever having formal ties to the soda brand.
