00:00 Introduction
The watch model reviewed in this video is the "international market" version as denoted by the K in its reference number. Additionally, the 2 at the end of the reference number represents the fact that the watch is presented on a Seiko Jubilee-style bracelet in steel to match the rest of the watch's construction.

00:41 First Look & Case Dimensions
On the wrist, the SKX009K2 wears quite comfortably and proportional to my wrist even though it's larger than I usually prefer. The Jubilee bracelet specifically makes it very comfortable and dressier than if the watch was presented on a rubber strap.

01:45 SKX009K2 Model Reference Breakdown
SKX009 = Seiko SKX Dive Watch With Pepsi Bezel & Dark Blue Dial
K = Not Made in Japan
2 = Jubilee Bracelet

The quality between Made in Japan and non-Made in Japan version of the SKX009 are minimal and only cosmetic. The performance of the movements is the same, as is the overall quality and construction of the watch.

02:54 SKX009K2 Case Specs & Pepsi Bezel
The dimensions of the stainless steel case of the SKX009K2 are as follows:
Diameter: 42.5mm (9 to 3 o'clock)
Lug To Lug: 46mm
Thickness: 13.4mm
Strap Size (Between the lugs): 22mm
Water Resistance: 200m / 660ft

As most Seiko dive watches, the SKX009K2's case employs two different finishes on its steel. The top is brushed or grained while the flanks of the case are in high polish. It also has the trademark Seiko crown with crown guards at 4 o'clock.

The bezel on this SKX009K2 Pepsi is in steel and is unidirectional. Inside of it is a dual-tone (red & Blue) diver's scale insert with a luminous pip at the main index.

The SKX009J has a two-tone (blue & red) metallic bezel insert with silver minute calibrations and a luminous pip at the top index. The watch also has a Seiko Hardlex crystal protecting its face.

05:10 Hardlex Crystal
The SKX009K2's face is protected by a Seiko Hardlex crystal. Hardlex is a proprietary Seiko material that is moderately resistant to scratches and is also shatterproof.

05:49 Dark Blue Dial Details
From many angles, it's tough to notice that the SKX009K2 in fact has a dark blue dial. This is also a characteristic that differentiates it from the base SKX model, the SKX007 (black dial).

The dial possesses "painted" luminous hour indices with white minute markings, polished center hands (luminous), and day-date aperture at 3 o'clock.

The luminous used on the dial and hands is Seiko LumiBrite which glows green in the dark.

06:30 SKX009J1 Individual Elements
This Made in Japan SKX009 has some elements on the dial that are unique to this version. They include some white text under the DIVER'S 200m text as well as a small "Made in Japan" under the 6 o'clock index.

06:33 SKX009K2 Movement Shortcoming
While the SKX009K2 is an automatic/self-winding watch, it does not have hand-winding function nor hacking seconds. This means the only way to wind the movement is by moving the watch.

08:42 Steel Jubilee Bracelet
This SKX009K2 has been worn a lot so the bracelet is a bit lose. However, even when these Seiko Jubilee bracelet are new, they are not "tight" and are known for being "jangly". This characteristic does not stop them from being very comfortable to wear.
