Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Invicta Pro Diver men's watch combines stainless steel and titanium--which is nearly 50 percent lighter than steel but 30 percent stronger--for an ultra-durable watch case. The round, silver watch case measures 44mm (1.73 inches) wide and has a silver unidirectional rotating bezel with embossed markings. The black dial background is accented by large luminous Tritnite hands (with seconds hand) and dotted dial markers. The stainless steel bracelet band mixes polished and brushed silver links. Other features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, water resistance to 200 meters, and a date function at 3 o'clock.

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.

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).

4.0 out of 5 stars great watch, GREAT VALUE!!, January 6, 2005

I'm a college student who has always had a fascination with horology and mechanical watches in particular. I also lead a relatively active lifestyle so I need something tought to bang around but look great doing it. This watch fits the bill. I'm rather discriminating when it comes to the quality of timepeices and this thing is SOLID!! Not a heavy watch, I assure you the titanium is real and the weight is not a factor. I kayak and snorkel, so the 200m. water resistance is perfect, the whole watch feels solid. The movement is japanese, not swiss as I hoped, but runs smoothly and looks great, I love the sweeping second hand. Compared to my Breitling, this thing feels almost as nice! Invicta is awesome, I will purchese again!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed, September 3, 2006

This review is from: Invicta Men's 9425 Pro Diver Collection Automatic Stainless Steel and Titanium Watch (Watch)

Couldnt disagree more with the other two reviews. I bought this watch and within two days the strap was busted. I banged it VERY Lightly on a desk. Customer service were AWFUL for Invicta, they promised in the end to send a replacement strap, cost me $20 (UNDER WARRANTY!!) because they sent it with security, when they originally sent the watch itself with NONE! Then another $10 to get the straps changed. Within 6 months the whole thing was scratched to hell, and i want particularly careful with it in that regard, but still, i wasnt overly crazy with it either. In april i took it to a small rock pool and swam and there has been condesation in it since then, causing me the hands to stick every now and then and me lose minutes, miss meetings and have a VERY bad attitude!! Then, finally, in trying to adjust the time yesterday, the little nob broke off and now it has water in it and i cant change the date or time. its ruined.

Now, im not saying i have been cautious. I havent, at all, but this is a DIVERS watch. it should be able (on TOP of being waterproof) to take some action. and, in every area, it hasnt. i wasted $180 on this. Im gunna look at Seiko in future.

P.O.S.
