This precisely constructed timepiece for men features a solid stainless steel case that's 43mm wide (1.69 inches).

In addition, this watch features a see-through exhibition back window, allowing you to view the movable parts in motion. Other features include anti-reflective mineral crystal, magnified date display at 3 o'clock, and water resistance to 660 feet (200 meters). The highly polished stainless steel band has a fold over clasp with safety.

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).

3.0 out of 5 stars Great watch mechanics, but craftsmanship left a bit to be desired..., October 6, 2009

This review is from: Invicta Men's 6012 Pro Diver Automatic Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)

First of all the watch is much bigger than the picture suggests. However a couple hours after I got the watch fitted (by having some links taken off) the diver dial cover fell off. Apparently it's glued on...

MSRP of $350 is way overpriced, I know. Still for a watch that should be around a hundred dollars I would expected something other than superglued coverings... I'm too lazy to return it, and it still looks nice with out the dial. I might just get some super glue and glue it back on.

Also the watch is mechanical self winding. If you never had one before you might find the watch not being very accurate when you wearing it for the first week or so, but that's normal for these type of watches.

I like the way this watch looks, but I prefer my 8929. This one doesn't have a screw-down crown, so I wouldn't expect it to seal well. Also, it doesn't have the feature that allows manual winding, so it tends to run down if I don't "shake it up" at night. Fortunately, I got mine on a "deal a day" site, so I didn't pay so much for it.

This review is from: Invicta Men's 6012 Pro Diver Automatic Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)

I also purchased an Invicta pro divers watch (not this one) a few years ago, and although I am still wearing it and it keeps good time, the same thing happened to mine, the rotating bezil came off at some point after a few weeks. One day it was there, the next day it was gone!!! It is not a glued on item as it rotates, so it must snap on or something. I contacted Invicta and they told me to send the watch back and they would replace the bezil. I asked them to send me the bezil and I would install it and save myself a lot of postage. They would not do it. So when this watch stops working, I will not buy another Invicta watch, but I will get the old reliable Timex for 1/3 the price. Some companies just don't learn.
