Isn't pepsi bezel used in GMT/dual time watches? What sens have two colors in a classic diver bezel? Could someone plese explain? I also do not recall such bezels on any other watch, for what these two colors might be used?

OlszakI agree, the 50/50 color usually denotes day and night on a 24 hour GMT bezel and doesnt seem to belong on a unidirectional diver bezel.
With that being said, I'm wearing my combat sub right now. I frequently wear it over my Rolex Explorer I, and this one still looks nice.

OlszakI agree that the day/night colour split is a strange design choice. In my opinion, it just looks like an attempt to knock off the BLRO GMT master. If a dive watch has a two-tone bezel, the colour change should start at the start time indicator, SKX009 style. Designs that imitate icons at the expense of actual function are something I avoid in my personal collecting.

OlszakThere are a number of divers with red and blue with the color proportion usually limited to the countdown. It's a great point that 50/50 is strongly suggestive of GMT (It's also a handy divisor for many applications). The bezel indices are very much in keeping with a dive watch functionality and to offer a GMT would require changing the markings away from diving in addition to shifting the price band of the watch out of Combat Sub territory. It's a tough call. We were careful to be true to the Combat Sub and not turn it into something else.

OlszakWhat Olszak said. First thing I thought when I saw this was how cool Drop was going to make a pepsi GMT diver and how this was going to be a big sell.
No GMT pepsi makes no sense. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Octoberprince78The dial markers are applied indices with Super-LumiNova luminous.
