Pro Diver Collection
Plunge into any horizon using the steadfast guidance of the Invicta Pro Diver. Stylishly classic, internal workings are forged with variations of either Swiss chronograph or 21-jewel automatic movements and willingly navigate in depths up to 300 meters. Built with confident prowess, the fortitude with which these timepieces function makes the Pro Diver the quintessential in performance.
Screw Down Crowns: Many Invicta watches are equipped with a screw down crown to help prevent water infiltration. This is most common on our Diver models. In order to adjust the date and/or time on such a watch, you must first unscrew the crown before you can gently pull it out to its first or second click stop position. To do this, simply rotate the crown counterclockwise until it springs open. When you have finished setting the watch, the crown must then be pushed in and screwed back in tightly. Not doing so will cancel the water resistance of the watch and will void all warranties from the manufacturer. Overall, this process should not require a lot of effort or force.
Invicta Watch Every year I think about something for my special season. And finally, I often buy Invicta watch for them. The price,quality and look is very excellent to give it as the gift. This Invicta is good as Christmas gift. If you don't have any idea about gift in thhis year. I reccommend this. Cheap and good.Cheer! : 2011-11-09 09:29:10
Durable, accurate, reliable... just buy it. XD I've had this watch for the past three months, and I *love* it. The crystal does not scratch normally (i.e. dragging a metal nail across the glass does not apply), keeps accurate time, and it is sooooo freakin' shiny. In the sunlight, it really does go bling bling. ^_^
For all you people who are worried that an automatic wrist-wind watch will keep worse time than a quartz, I can assure you that myth does not apply here. I have had to reset the time only once, and that was because I left it for two days without moving it around. I would say the accuracy is about +/- 5 to 10 seconds. I think the Miyota automatic mechanism on this watch can spank any Swiss-made mechanism out there... Well, that is if you don't take into account how it'll lose time after around 24 hours without wrist movement.
As for the automatic mechanism itself, I work in a lab so I do a lot of mixing, shaking, throwing chemicals out the window, etc., but it still keeps very accurate time. I don't think it's possible to overwind the mechanism by moving your hand too much, and I'm sure it's packed with antishock mechanisms to put up with my constant abuse.
What else... It's also very easy to size the watch yourself and remove the segments. All you need to do is poke at the metal rod holding the segment together with a dulled pushpin so that the rod would go out in the direction of the arrows on the back side of the bracelet (if you have the watch in front of you, it'll make sense). Of course, if you're in doubt, a trustworthy jewelry store (one that won't scratch up your watch) can resize it for five or six bucks.
Well, I guess there is one con, and that is the glow-in-the-dark hands and stuff only stay lit for about 1-2 hours. When it's lit, however, it's very bright. Not a big deal for me, but I guess this wouldn't be a good watch if you're a golddigger or coalminer or something of that sort.
All in all, I say buy it! ;D : 2011-08-16 00:10:27
Great Price, Good Build Quality Had this watch for about a month now, +1 minute at the most a week which seems to be amazing for this japanese movement. this watch has a huge fan base online and is probably one of the most popular because of is iconic rolex submariner design. i was torn between the black monster from seiko which is also a great watch, but decided for this one on the basis of the huge amount of positive reviews and the price diffrence. also what snagged me was the exibition back, though it has a plain movement is still nice to have. the solid stainless steel band adds great feel and weight to it and there are multiple adjustment increments on the band itself and the buckle area. the glow in the dark material does not work that well and is not that bright. the scratch resistant crystal is not sapphire but i guess it cuts the costs back a great deal. alot of compliments, great build quality for price, highly recommended : 2011-08-16 00:10:01
Fantastic Dive Watch I should qualify myself first. I am a Platinum Pro 5000 diver - one who has in excess of 5,000 dives. I also have an affinity for watches. My dive watches include a Rolex Submariner and a Rolex Sea Dweller. This Invicta is quite similar to the above Rolex watches (I hate to say it). I left this watch at the bottom of a 170' reef in Bonaire for 6 days and it held strong. I find the dial, hands and Cyclops rather easy to read. The bezel is a bit hard to turn, but I don't often use it anyway - that's why we have dive computers and god-given memory.
I really like the watch - it has a good feel and the crystal is very clear. I paid $112.00 for my first one, and sold it to an island local divemaster. I am now buying a replacement.
Although I'll still dive with my Rolex, I'll treasure this watch with the classics! : 2011-08-16 00:09:37
Feels and looks like a $1,000 watch I adjusted the metal band to fit my arm as soon as I received the yellow "INVICTA" box. This operation required a awol the size of a 6d nail and was fairly easy.
Swatch does not hold a candle to this watch in terms of pricing. $100 priced Swatches feel light and fragile. Invicta instead made a rugged and stilish looking watch for $100.
The face is a huge 43mm and it looks and feels manly. It is easy to read the date display thanks to the enlarging lense placed over it: I have been praying for this feature in less expensive watches for the past four years.
All in all: this is a beautiful piece for short money. I will now see how it keeps time and write about it in the future. : 2011-08-16 00:09:17
