Why no “Pepsi” Omega?

Honestly, it is probably just a matter of time before Omega jumps on the bandwagon...
I dunno that band wagon has been rolling past for some considerable time now....a good many years in fact

Those who don't like a Pepsi GMT have to take a look at the Heuer Autavia GMT version

I was gifted this yesterday, although I’m not a big Pepsi fan “I prefer Coke” I ain’t complaining.
Especially since it came partnered with this


My brother and I are still negotiating what I owe for the black bezel one.

An Omega with Pepsi colored bezel does not come to mind. Plenty of funky colorful chronograph dials though!

Contrary to some posts here, I do think the red and blue bezel colors go together quite nicely - especially if they are faded.

Am I just not finding it or did Omega decide not to go in that direction?
I'm glad they don't do it. That "pepsi" color combination is awful and tasteless imo.

They already did it 😉

As much as I love the GMT Master, probably my favourite timepiece, I really dislike the “Pepsi” nickname. I’m glad Omega didn’t fall into the trap of making a “Pepsi” watch. Every other company has one. So maybe Omega didn’t produce one because they’re smart?

Like the Citizen & Seiko’s above, it has a red and blue bezel laid out the same way. What am I overlooking?

Maybe he is thinking since it isn’t half red, half blue it isn’t a “true” Pepsi. 🤔🤷‍♂️

To me, a 'pepsi' bezel denotes a GMT, to differentiate between day and night. Your example is a dive watch, with the red denoting a 20 minute time period.

The only reason I ask is the OP says
the style that is drawing me in now is a Pepsi style watch. Rolex, Tudor, Seiko, Tag, and others have a diver watch in this look, but I can’t find an Omega version
They are drawn in by a “Pepsi style watch”, including Seiko in the brands that offer it, and say the can’t find anything from Omega. As shown in previous posts by several users, Seiko has a diver and chronograph that share the Pepsi nickname, which both have a bezel in the same (non GMT) orientation as the Omega PO, but weren’t excluded. So I’m curious what I have overlooked for the PO to not count.

You want to count that PO as a pepsi, have at it 👍

I don’t care one way or the other nor do I have an agenda in this. Like I said, I’m just curious.

Exactly! It’s only “Pepsi-ish”! 😉
