Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

You can be a serious diver and still show a bit of style with the gold-tone Invicta Abyss automatic men's watch (model 2689) with 23 karat gold plating. Its round stainless steel watch case measures 41mm (1.6 inches) and has a black unidirectional rotating bezel with gold engraved markings and gold scalloped highlights. The black mother of pearl dial features large luminous Tritnite dial markers and hands, with encroaching minute indexes. Other features include water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet), day and date function at 3 o'clock, and a stainless steel link bracelet band with fully gold-plated links.

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 660 feet. 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).

This review is from: Invicta Men's 2689 Pro Diver Collection Abyss Automatic Watch (Watch)

I am extremely impressed with the feel, look and general quality of the watch. It contains the Citizen Miyota 21 jewel automatic movement that is a true workhorse for a fraction of the price. The comfortable stainess steel pinned link bracelet is worth the price of the watch. It has rounded flexible brushed steel wrist links The foldover adjustable double safety clasp uses pins as well. Can easily be mistaken for a watch costing much more. The Mineral Glass crystal is scratch resistant - but not as good as a sapphire watch face, but is less prone to chipping or shattering than a sapphire crystal. The display watchback is also mineral glass - displaying the undecorated Miyota automatic movement. It look as stylish and run as well as my other watches, and, I receive as many comments if not more from the Invicta's. It is a great looking watch! Good value, accurate and stylish if you like the Sub' look. This is a good day-to-day knock about watch that still looks better than the quartz stuff in the same price band. If it lasts 5 years it's more than paid for itself. If you would like more information and talk with others about Invicta's or other watches visit www.thewatchcentral.com. All questions and comments will be responded to.

This Invicta Abyss is an eye looker! People will look at this watch and think you are wearing a watch that is in the thousands. Everytime I wear this watch people always tell me how good it looks. If you are a 1st time collector this is where you should start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well made watch., May 28, 2007

This review is from: Invicta Men's 2689 Pro Diver Collection Abyss Automatic Watch (Watch)

I already own a number of Invictas and I was impressed by its quality. Very robust and well made. The black Mother of Pearl face is very subtle, in some circumstances looking merely black but in other conditions a sheen of green, blue and purple can be seen. The gold plating is yellower than what I've seen on my Citizens but still looks great. The case is brushed on top and polished on the sides and bottom, the bracelet follows suit with the inside links being polished and the outer links brushed. The photo doesn't do the watch justice, but no picture ever does any watch justice. The markings on the bezel match the gold of the case better than the photo implies. The day indicator can display English as well as Spanish. The large hour indexes make the watch quick to read at a glance, and it's easy to read in the dark with large luminous hands. I've had this watch for 2 months and it's only gained approximately 15 seconds, outstanding accuracy for any automatic in this price range. The watch's dimensions are a 45mm case width including the crown, and it's about 13mm thick. There's a ring with a horizontal bar that is around and across the exhibition back, and as other reviewers have noted it can make the watch uncomfortable. Its two screws are easily removed, and its deletion makes the watch much more comfortable. The screws don't go through the case so there's no concern with water resistance. Amazon's shipping was right on time, with only 2 days between ordering and delivery. If you want a shiny gold automatic watch, you can't go wrong here. Invicta makes a quality automatic and the price is unbeatable.
