Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Invicta Men's Pro Diver Collection Automatic Stainless Steel Watch features a bright orange bezel for a lively, sporty look. A stainless steel band joins to a Tonneau case that's topped by a notched edge orange-ion-plated stainless steel bezel imprinted with white Arabic numeral and stick minute markers. A straightforward black dial is framed by an orange inner dial ring and displays luminescent bar hour indicators as well as Arabic numeral hour indicators at the six and nine o'clock positions. A date window at the three o'clock and luminescent hands complete this automatic, self-winding timepiece. This watch presents in a handsome yellow Invicta gift box and is water resistant to 330 feet (100 m).

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).

This review is from: Invicta Men's 6056 Pro Diver Collection Automatic Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)

I just received one of these to go along with another Pro Diver, the number escapes me just now. This particular watch is huge. When I opened the box I was surprised at its mass. B-I-G.
Any style points aside, the Invicta automatics in the low price range are running 21 jewel Miyota movements. When you look into automatics you'll figure out that many Swiss "made" watches are using - um - components and assemblies from other countries. Well, one country in particular. No matter. The Japanese movements might be doing the same outsourcing, but I've yet to find anything to back it up. Point is, these are Made in Japan movements and run very well. My other Pro Diver has been fast by MAYBE 5 seconds a day. This one is too new to tell yet.

I go for value shopping and these watches are knocking my socks off.

A couple points:
1) Buy a band sizer here on Amazon while you're getting a watch. Cheap and effective.
2) Invicta seems to have a bad reputation for customer service. I have no experience with them. Might be a good idea to buy your watch from Amazon, as they have fantastic customer service. I CAN speak for that!

Above all, have fun with these. If you bust an Invicta you won't kill your wallet....but you'll rue the loss of a tremendous value. On value- mind the dollar index. These aren't made in the USA. If you think the exchange rate will be favorable later, wait to buy. If you believe the opposite, pull the trigger NOW! (Many times!)

This review is from: Invicta Men's 6056 Pro Diver Collection Automatic Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)

As always, Amazon's shipping was fast and effective (and above all free for prime customers!)

This watch came in the standard Invicta cheesebox, packaged the same way as the rest of their non-reserve lineup. The hinged box is a nice touch at a price point dominated by collector's tins and plastic cases.

I bought this watch to wear to work and it fit the kitchen environment perfectly. The big dial is readable at a glance, and the hands provide great contrast on the black face making it that much easier to read. The blue second hand does have a tendency to be somewhat more difficult to read against the black face.

I really like the styling of this watch, which is what led me to purchase it in the first place. It takes more than a few styling cues from the Omega Planet Ocean, but maintains enough differences so as to have its own personality.

All this said, the watch is just plain old TOO BIG. 47mm case size listed does not include the massive crown. The 24mm lugs make it hard (but not impossible) to find a decent strap for it. The 24mm lugs call for a 24mm bracelet, which will make you want to find a strap for it. I didn't weigh the watch, but I estimate its weight to be somewhere around 12-14 ounces...it is a serious piece of metal wrapped around your wrist.
This watch would be great for someone who likes big watches, but unfortunately for me I'm just not that person and this one is on the trading block.
