Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

You can be a serious diver and still show a bit of style with the two-tone Invicta Diver stainless steel men's watch (model 9938) with 23 karat gold-plated highlights. The round, silver watch case measures 42mm (1.65 inches) wide has a blue unidirectional rotating bezel with gold markings and gold coined edge highlights. The blue dial background is accented by large luminous Tritnite hands (with seconds hand) and dotted dial markers. The stainless steel bracelet band mixes polished gold-tone and brushed silver links. Other features include a scratch-resistant mineral crystal, water resistance to 200 meters, and a date function at 3 o'clock.

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).

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible watch- you have to see it to believe it., March 19, 2007

Much has been written about this watch as well as it's cousin, the black 9937. This is an incredible watch and with the coin edge bezel is strikingly similar not only in looks but in quality to the rolex submariner which is about 20X the price. In a way it is a shame they look so much alike since the quality of this watch should not put it in a "knock- off" category. There are a couple of variants of this watch out there. The coin bezel version is a re-release of the original of this watch and it is the hardest one to fine. (It says "swiss movement" on the bottom as opposed to "swiss" underneath the invicta logo.)On all versions the swiss ETA movement is very precise (much better than the corresponding invicta with the japanese movement- although this too is a good watch) and the band, bezel, crown, case are of the highest quality as is the gold plating. I love watches, and I have been shocked at the value of Invicta watches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sold on Invicta, February 10, 2006

Jimmy "Certified Jewelry Repair Technician" (Florida) - See all my reviews

My Invicta 9938 arrived today and I am extremely pleased. This is my second Invicta. The other is a gold swiss Speedway. Owning two Rolexes, I can truly say that Invicta compares favorably in every way, and at 1/20th the price! This watch is made like an M1 Abrams tank. Not only beautiful, but surely can take a beating and keep on repeating. I don't see how Invicta can produce such fine watches at such reasonable prices. I am sure I will buy other Invictas. For the price of a Rolex, I can buy a dozen! This product I can truly recommend.

I have looked at other watches and ordered one Invicta watch the 3095 that looked like this watch. I scratched the crystal within one week. I then set about to find a watch like it and found this watch. This watch far exceeds my expectations. You can actually see the date in the magnifier, has a saphire crystal, even fits my wrist better than the 3095, I also like the skelton back. The hand does sweep in this watch. All in all i would make this purchase the first time.
