Seiko 5 Sports Pops the Tab with Pepsi®
If you’ve ever argued about whether “Pepsi” belongs on a watch bezel or in your fridge, Seiko’s latest collab is here to settle things. The Seiko 5 Sports SKX Pepsi® Limited Editions—SRPL99K1 and SSK047K1—are fizzy, retro-inspired takes on the everyday beater, served up with actual Pepsi branding. Yes, actual. Cue the eye-rolls from the Coke-bezel diehards.
Both models pull their palette straight from the Pepsi® logo of the 1990s, splashing blue, white, and red across dials and details. And because Seiko never does things halfway, even the packaging comes shaped like a soda can. It’s collector catnip—and just the right amount of tongue-in-cheek.
SRPL99K1 – The Everyday Pop (38mm)
This is your classic daily drinker—compact, versatile, and easy to wear at 38mm wide and 12.1mm thick. Under the hood beats the Calibre 4R36, an automatic with manual winding, 24 jewels, and a respectable 41-hour power reserve.
The case and bracelet are stainless steel, secured with a three-fold clasp with push-button release (no cheap stamped tin here). Up front, you get a Hardlex crystal, and for the lume junkies, Lumibrite coats the hands, indexes, and bezel pip. Flip it over and the see-through screw case back shows off the movement along with your limited edition number. Practicality is covered too, with 10 bar water resistance (100m) and 4,800 A/m magnetic resistance—enough to handle beach days, pool dives, and that sketchy speaker stack at your next gig.
Price in Malaysia: MYR 1,900. Production: 7,000 pieces worldwide. So yes, limited, but not “I sold a kidney to get one” limited.
SSK047K1 – The Jet-Lag Fix (42.5mm GMT)
This one’s for the globetrotters—or at least those who like the idea of being globetrotters. Sized at 42.5mm x 13.6mm, the SSK047K1 is powered by the Calibre 4R34 GMT, letting you track local and home time simultaneously with its 24-hour hand. Specs are nearly identical to its smaller sibling: automatic with manual winding, 41-hour reserve, and 24 jewels.
But here’s the twist: it’s the first SKX GMT ever offered on a silicone strap. And not just any strap—this one’s embossed with “PEPSI” at 12 o’clock and capped off with the Pepsi® logo at 6. It’s bold, playful, and makes no apologies for its soda allegiance. The rest is classic Seiko: Hardlex crystal with lens, Lumibrite on hands and indexes, see-through screw case back, 10 bar water resistance, and the same 4,800 A/m magnetic resistance.
Price in Malaysia: MYR 2,700. Production: 7,000 pieces worldwide. If you see one on a stranger’s wrist at KLIA, strike up a conversation—they’ll probably be just as smug about snagging it as you would be.
Served in a Can (Literally)
Both models come in Pepsi-can-inspired containers, completing the circle of nostalgia. Around back, the see-through case backs proudly wear the Pepsi® logo, “LIMITED EDITION,” and your personal serial number. It’s like finding a promo can in your 7-Eleven haul, except this one tells time and doesn’t go flat.
Final Sip
Available from September 2025, exclusively through Seiko’s online shop, the SRPL99 and SSK047 are proof that not all collaborations need to be “serious haute horology.” Sometimes, a watch just needs to make you smile every time you check the time—like cracking open a cold can on a hot day.
