Seiko 5 Sports X Pepsi Limited Editions: A Bold Tribute To Iconic Colors
Seiko has partnered with global beverage giant Pepsi to release two eye-catching limited edition watches within its 5 Sports line, celebrating the unmistakable red-and-blue colorway associated with the soft drink brand. These new models — the SRPL99 and the SSK047 — offer unique interpretations of the Pepsi theme, each rooted in different eras of the brand’s visual identity and built on the trusted foundation of Seiko’s SKX-inspired platform.
Two Watches, One Iconic Theme
Both the SRPL99 and the SSK047 are based on the popular SKX-style case used in Seiko’s 5 Sports series. While both watches feature Pepsi-colored bezels, they take very different approaches in terms of design and branding, with the SRPL99 leaning into retro flair and the SSK047 embracing a contemporary aesthetic.
Seiko 5 Sports SRPL99 – Retro Pepsi Vibes
The SRPL99 is a three-hand automatic watch with a diver-style layout. It features a 38 mm stainless steel case and a matching three-link stainless steel bracelet that delivers a classic tool-watch feel. The dial is finished in a bright silver tone and is accented by the 1990s-era ‘PEPSI’ logotype, positioned just below the center pinion at 6 o’clock. The bezel features a red and blue insert, with the red coloring reserved for the first 20 minutes—typical of diver-style timing bezels. Inside, the watch runs on Seiko’s reliable Caliber 4R36 automatic movement. Around the back, the exhibition caseback offers a clear view of the movement, enhanced with a printed version of the colorful 90s Pepsi logo. Water-resistant to 100 meters, the SRPL99 is delivered in a playful Pepsi can-shaped presentation box. It is limited to 7,000 pieces worldwide and priced at € 420.
Seiko 5 Sports GMT SSK047 – Modern Pepsi Energy
In contrast, the SSK047 GMT model takes a more modern approach in both style and construction. The watch is built with a 42.50 mm black PVD-coated stainless steel case that gives it a stealthy appearance, and it is paired with a black silicone strap—marking the first time a silicone strap has been used in a SKX-style GMT from Seiko. The strap features embossed Pepsi logos, with the modern branding appearing at the 12 o’clock side and a bold logo detail at the tip of the 6 o’clock side. The dial is black and showcases the current Pepsi logo, while the 24-hour GMT bezel uses an even red-and-blue 50/50 split, in line with classic GMT design language. Inside, the watch houses the automatic Caliber 4R34 movement, which allows independent adjustment of the GMT hand. The smoked exhibition caseback features a monochromatic print of the modern Pepsi logo, adding a subtle yet stylish finishing touch. Like its counterpart, the SSK047 is water-resistant to 100 meters and comes packaged in a Pepsi can-inspired case. It is also limited to 7,000 pieces and is priced at € 590.
Availability and Final Details
Both watches are available for pre-order now directly through Seiko’s website, with deliveries scheduled to begin in September or October 2025. Whether you’re drawn to the nostalgic charm of the SRPL99 or the modern appeal of the SSK047, this collaboration offers a creative and collectible tribute to one of the most recognizable color combinations in watch design.
Seiko’s long-running affinity for Pepsi-colored bezels now takes an official turn with this special capsule collection, blending iconic branding with the accessible, mechanical reliability of the Seiko 5 Sports lineup.
