Awesome large watch, March 29, 2009
This review is from: Invicta Men's 4901 Corduba Diver Chronograph Watch (Watch)
The image makes this watch look deceptively average; The bracelet is 'oversized' in scale with the watch, and the large crown protector make it hard to judge the size in a image with nothing else in it for comparison. This is not your typical size diver watch.. for those who like large watches, look no further!
The outer diameter of the bezel is just over 2" - now the biggest in my collection! In spite of the mass it is surprisingly comfortable; easily wearable all day, something I can't say about my Invicta Reserve Specialty which is actually smaller. The rubber links in the bracelet do not feel or look cheap whatsoever, with the links being of the screwed-in variety to boot.
I originally was looking at the all black 4902, but ultimately wound up choosing this 'gunmetal/black' version and am glad I did. The case and steel center links are a very dark gray, while the rubber links, bezel, and a few other details are black. The gunmetal is different enough from the black to be of contrast, but is not so light that it looks out of place. The two materials and colors complement each other nicely.
All in all this version of the Corduba is a worthwhile purchase and a new personal favorite.

WOW!! Fantastic timepiece!, November 19, 2009
This review is from: Invicta Men's 4901 Corduba Diver Chronograph Watch (Watch)
This watch is LARGE - at around 52mm it's one of the biggest I have in my collection. The gunmetal/black color worked together better than I had expected. The strap is very comfortable. As one might imagine with a watch this large it does have some weight to it (if it was very light, it would feel cheap). Every dark watch I own including this one reminds me of a military watch. It looks great with my weekend attire and turns heads everywhere I go. For the price, this is a great deal! I suggest that if you are on the fence, just buy the watch. I think you will be VERY pleased. And if it is too bold for you, you can return it. You won't be disappointed!!

Loving this watch!!!, November 18, 2009
This review is from: Invicta Men's 4901 Corduba Diver Chronograph Watch (Watch)
When I received this watch, my first reaction was a word that I don't allow my kids to say. My expectation was that I going to have strong but stylish watch. A watch that makes people take more than one look at what you are wearing. Immediately my co-workers were astonished by the weight and styling, and have since changed thier minds about how many watches one person can usefully own. When I went to see my barber, before I even took my jacket off, he was already commenting on the watch. Expectation met.
Function:
This watch works great. The chronograph hand threw me off for a minute because I was use to that hand being the seconds hand, but once I figured it out, I was fine. All the pushers work fine, and all the sub-dials move the way they should.
Looks:
Despite looking like you could hang this watch as wall clock, it fits nicely on my average sized wrist. I had some difficulty adjusting the bracelet because of the tiny screws that hold the links together, but I was able to do it when my jeweler couldn't. The combination steel/rubber bracelet gives an air of durability and style. And makes me feel that I can wear this watch while either running in park, or running a meeting at the office.
Strength:
While I don't plan to conduct any of my own testing on this watch, I have confidence that it is as durable as it looks.
Botton Line is I would buy this watch again and again and again, and would encourage anyone else who thought of doing the same.
