Seiko and Pepsi have joined forces on a series of timepieces that put both brands' signature aesthetics and technologies in the spotlight.
The timepieces are each characterized first and foremost by their red and blue color accents, which pay homage to Pepsi's iconic logo. This will call to mind the Rolex GMT-Master II watch, which is colloquially known as the Pepsi Rolex for its red and blue dial with the main difference being that the Seiko watches seen here are officially licensed.
Watch enthusiasts alike are expected to embrace the Seiko and Pepsi partnership as a decidedly affordable way to bring the signature aesthetic to their wrist. The watches include the Seiko SRPL99 diver and the SSK047 GMT, which are each limited to just 7,000 examples each.
