Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Thin is in with this stainless steel men's watch from Invicta's Slim Collection, which is a great choice for everyday casual wear. But with its amazingly svelte 5mm (0.2 inches) profile, it can also be perfectly tucked under the cuff when dress or business wear is called for. Offering Invicta's refined, modern styling, this watch is powered by a precisely timed Swiss-manufactured quartz movement.

And while it might be stereotypical, the truth is many of the world's finest and most accurate timing movements are created in Switzerland. This is due to the wealth of knowledge and infrastructure that's been built up in the Swiss watch industry over the centuries, and with many of the Swiss practitioners having the trade and watchmaking traditions passed down over the generations.

Matched with a uniquely designed metal mesh bracelet in silver, this watch has an oval, silver stainless steel watch case that measures 39mm wide (1.54 inches). Its black dial face features a two-handed movement placed in a slightly recessed center, which is surrounded by a silver tone markers and Arabic numerals. It's water resistant to 30 meters (99 feet), also known as 3 ATM. This means that it can withstand rain and splashes of water--such as car washing and showering--but it shouldn't be worn swimming.

Other features include a scratch-resistant mineral crystal, fold-over safety clasp, and Tritnite luminous hands. 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.

Quartz Movement
The "movement" of a watch refers to the mechanics that power the ticking of the timepiece, and this watch is powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement. It utilizes the vibrations of a tiny quartz crystal to maintain timing, which provides a fast, steady oscillation (at more than 30,000 times per second) to provide excellent accuracy.

These are the words that greet visitors and motivate team members inside the Invicta Watch Group's new worldwide headquarters. Emblazoned in stainless steel, it has been the Invicta message since Day One. With each new timepiece, the company sends up a flare for those looking to be defined not by how much they spend, but how wisely they spend. With its strong collections, the gutsy Swiss brand is guaranteed to keep attracting followers. The art of the craft.

Cheap and looks great, I wear it with suits all the time. Two things I don't like though.
1. The band holds water. It's ok while you're swimming or getting wet, but it gets annoying when it stays wet while the rest of you is dry. Taking it off for a few minutes is normally sufficient to dry it out though.

2. Seems to scratch easily. This also may be because I forget I'm wearing it quite a few times, and do things that I should normally take it off for, construction work for instance.

Also the self adjustable band is one of the best ideas I have even seen, in fact I think I'm going to try and find just to switch out on some of my other watches.

Had this watch for a year now and it is one of the best I've had. Crystal has held up without the first scratch or chip, and the band can't be beat. Only thing I'd have liked it a second hand, but it makes up for it as thin as it is.

I would be very cautious about buying anything from TimeZone123. The Invicta watch they shipped to me lost 30 minutes per day right out of the box, but when I complained, they refused to take it back.
