Automatic Watches

Automatic watches do not operate on batteries. Automatic watches are made up of about 130 or more parts that work together to tell time. Automatic movements mark the passage of time by a series of gear mechanisms, and are wound by the movement of your wrist as you wear it. The gear train then transmits the power to the escapement, which distributes the impulses, turning the balance wheel. The balance wheel is the time regulating organ of a mechanical watch, which vibrates on a spiral hairspring. Lengthening or shortening the balance spring makes the balance wheel go faster or slower to advance or retard the watch. The travel of the balance wheel from one extreme to the other and back again is called oscillation. Lastly, automatic movements come in different types, including movements that are Swiss-made, Japanese-made, and more.

Also referred to as self-winding, watches with automatic movements utilize kinetic energy, the swinging of your arm, to provide energy to an oscillating rotor to keep the watch ticking. They're considered more satisfying to watch collectors (horologists) because of the engineering artistry that goes into the hundreds of parts that make up the movement. If you do not wear an automatic watch consistently (for about 8 to 12 hours a day), you can keep the watch powered with a watch winder (a great gift for collectors).

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars 6023 - Good Looking Invicta, June 18, 2010

By 

Bob857 (Connecticut) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Invicta Men's 6023 Pro Diver Collection Automatic Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)

Great looking 43mm diver's watch with the "flaming delusion" crystals front and back. I believe Invicta calls it Flame Fusion, what they do is take an ordinary mineral crystal, sprinkle some aluminum oxide on it and then (they claim to) expose it to flame: Flame Fusion. It's suppose to have the scratch resistance of sapphire and the shatter resistance of mineral. All I can say is it's a least as good as a good mineral crystal and that's pretty good, but it's not likely to be as good as a nice thick sapphire crystal - just less $$$ and really, that's okay by me.

The watch features the SII NH25A movement by Seiko. The only way to wind this watch is to wear it as there is no hand winding and it also does not hack. Having said that, it is fairly easy to get it to reverse hack by applying a slight counterclockwise twist to the stem, so it can be set to the precise time. Speaking of precise time... When I received my new 6023 I set it and then went out for a 5 mile hike over rough terrain, got home and hung out for a while and then put the watch away. Two days later the watch was still running and had gained just 4 seconds. So gotta rate the power reserve and accuracy as excellent.

The dial has an ultra fine texture to it that catches light and just shimmers and sparkles in the sunlight. The markers on the dial allow for lots of lume to be applied and it glows brightly when coming in from the sunny out of doors. How long does the lume glow you ask? It's an Invicta - Lets just say it glows nicely for a while and leave it at that.

One thing to be aware of is there is some variability in the color of the second hand. Some are plain silver like the one in the Amazon photo, while on others the tip of the second hand is red to just above the lume dot. Same model number and everything else so I'm not sure what's up with that but that is how mine is. I got it from the Shark. I think the red makes it more desirable. I'll take a picture and post it so comparison shoppers can see what I'm talking about.

These watches come with a bracelet long enough to fit an ape. My wrist is 7 7/8" and I had to remove 3 links to achieve a comfortable loose fit. So even if your nickname is Moose this watch will fit you. If you have a slim wrist up to 6 links can be removed so it can still be adjusted to fit.

The 6023 is a blue dial watch, if you like red dials check out the 6022. If i didn't already have a 6015 with a red dial I'd be buying one of those too. Invicta Men's 6022 Pro Diver Collection Automatic Stainless Steel Watch

3.0 out of 5 stars Very nice looking, but not particularly accurate, December 2, 2010

This is a very nice looking watch. The blue dial face shines and glimmers beautifully. However, my watch loses 32 seconds per day compared to the official time kept on www.time.gov. I have no way of knowing if this is a typical degree of inaccuracy for this watch model or not, but it is much more than other automatic watches that I have had.

originally i wrote,

sharp looking watch and gave it 4 stars

this is a sharp looking watch. it has some nice weight to it and considering what i paid for it does not feel cheap or flimsy. it looks great wearing t-shirt and jeans or slacks and a sports coat.

i now give this watch 2 stars.

i bought this watch last year because i was intrigued by the color and design. one year later, it no longer works. i would have been better off buying a timex.
