Introducing
Seiko Bell-Matic 4006-6040 "Pepsi"
Circa 1976
As a watch collector I wasn't completely convinced about the whole Pepsi dial thing. Even when a historic piece like the Pogue came my way I didn't bite.
And then there's the Rolex. Don't get me started.
This this guy came along in all its coolness. While it's not really a pepsi dial, where the red and blue were each given equal space on the bezel or chapter ring, the tasteful use of red and deep navy blue gave me enough reason to bring it home.
This Bell-Matic Pepsi is delivered in a very nice banded bracelet that gives it a very patrony appeal. Like a father who needs to be kept reminded at various times of the day, his time important to leave to chance.
The dial itself is simple enough - polished black with simple steel batons placed around as hour markets. The hands are your standard Bell-Matics, but the nice sweeping red seconds hand really adds to the whole Pepsi thing.
Held in placed by a nice pin cushion case and a domed acrylic crystal, this 1976 Seiko will sit handsomely on any man's wrist.
