The Seiko Diver with a Pepsi bezel is one of the most iconic dive watches ever made, instantly recognizable for its blue and red bezel. This design has deep roots in Seiko’s history, dating back to the 1970s, when the brand was revolutionizing the world of affordable yet rugged dive watches.
The first Seiko diver to feature the Pepsi bezel was the Seiko 6105-8110, introduced in 1970. It was famously worn by soldiers during the Vietnam War due to its durability. However, the true Pepsi bezel legacy began with the Seiko 6309 and 7002 series, which solidified the design's popularity. The color scheme wasn’t just aesthetic—it had a functional purpose. The red and blue split was meant to help divers quickly differentiate between day and night hours when tracking dive times.
In 1996, Seiko released the SKX009, which became the most well-known Pepsi diver, beloved for its automatic movement, 200m water resistance, and unbeatable value. This model fueled Seiko’s reputation as the go-to brand for tough, accessible dive watches.
Today, the Pepsi bezel remains a key part of Seiko’s identity, seen in modern Prospex models. It symbolizes adventure, reliability, and the brand’s deep connection to professional diving heritage.
