Japan-automatic movement
Mineral crystal
Case diameter: 43 mm
Stainless-steel case; Yellow dial; Date function
Water-resistant to 200 M (660 feet)

Add a dash of high style to any ensemble with this silver-tone Invicta stainless steel men's automatic watch. The large, round silver watch case measures 43mm wide (1.69 inches), and it's topped by an artfully stylish textured bezel. The bright yellow dial face features Arabic numeral quarter hours, Tritnite luminous stick markers and sword-shaped hands, and a date window at 3 o'clock. It's completed by a stainless steel bracelet band that mixes brushed and polished finishes, and is joined by a fold-over safety clasp. Other features include a scratch-resistant mineral crystal, Swiss quartz movement, and water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet)--suitable for recreational diving.

An automatic (or self-winding) watch is fitted with a device (rotor) that automatically winds the spring by using the force of gravity. It needs no battery, but it will stop if you have been physically inactive for an extended period of time--as long as you're moving, the watch will stay powered. Swiss watchmaker Abraham-Louis Perrelet invented the self-winding mechanism in 1770. It worked on the same principle as a modern pedometer, and was designed to wind as the owner walked.

Tritnite is a luminous material with an extended glow exclusively developed by Invicta in Switzerland and added to their timepiece hands and markers. When exposed to regular daylight, it will hold its glow for about 20 hours.

About Invicta
Latin for "invincible," Invicta was founded in La Chaux-de-fonds, Switzerland in 1837 by Raphael Picard, who believed that fine Swiss timepieces could be offered at modest prices. For more than a century, the company has created distinctive manual and automatic-winding pieces. In 1991, descendants of the Picard family reaffirmed the company's founding principle, and the invigorated Invicta has been growing ever since with one of the most widely diverse collections of precise Swiss timepieces on the market.

Invicta watch

Watch showed up well packaged,although directions on setting time/date could have been better.On this model you have to unscrew stem to pop out adjuster. Took me a while to figure that out. Otherwise the watch is great(a little heavy,but looks/feels great),It was a very good deal and will search out Invicta watches in future.

nice Invicta watch

This is a very nice watch, a bit oversized so a smaller man may think twice about buying it. The quality is top notch and for the money it just can't be beat.

Invicta Men's II Watch

The ordered this Invicta because of the price. After checking the price of this watch online from other vendors, I thought it was a great deal. I couldn't find anyone who was selling this model of watch for such a low price and the watch looks great. I look forward to finding other deals in the future through Amazon.com.

Bad quality cristal, too soft, i fall down into the floor and broke the cristal and the metal band. It's imposible to me belive tha the original price could be 400.-$, NEVER.

Invicta II Automatic

I've been shopping around for an affordable automatic diver's watch for some time. I've done my research on Casios, Seikos, and others. I found a lot of people highly recommending the Invicta brand. I was lucky enough to find this model under $70 on an Amazon sale. After owning this timepiece, I would gladly pay full retail if I had to do it again.

The bracelet fells very solid, and polished to a high gloss. The only drawback is the constant grease and fingerprints aquired through use, a minor complaint. The bezel does rotate, but serves no purpose outside of asthetics. The weaving pattern is very flattering. Attention grabbing like lesser watches that have the fake diamonds around the face, but not nearly as tacky, in my opinion. Around the bold numbers is the military equivilant of 1300, 1400, etc. The face is not nearly as yellow as the diagram dipicts. It seems to be a more lighter champagne than yellow in indoor lighting. The backing is also mineral crystal, common in automatic watches so you can see the interior mechanism.

The automatic movement is amazingly smoothe. Watching the second hand move, it maintains a very steady tic. I've witnessed other cheap auto movements that are jittery and inconsistant resulting in constant loss of time. This is not the case with the Invicta. The sweep maintains integrity while moving forward. This quality is hard to find in most "bargain" automatic watches.

Overall, I am very pleased with my investment. It might not be an Omega or Rolex, but it looks great, accurate, and well worth the money paid for it.
