Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Featuring polished and brushed stainless steel throughout, the Invicta Men's Diver Collection Automatic Stainless Steel Watch achieves a classic look. The stainless steel case, bezel, and bracelet complement a black, easy-to-read dial, which features Arabic numerals at the quarter hour as well as luminous hands and hour markers. With high-quality 21 jewel Japanese automatic movement, this watch functions without a battery, using the movement of your arm to power it along. The flame-fusion crystal is highly durable and will protect your timepiece against wear and tear. This Invicta Diver Collection watch is water resistant to 660 feet (200 meters).

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 Great Watch, January 7, 2010

This review is from: Invicta Men's 6036 Pro Diver Collection Automatic Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)

This is my first Invicta. I appreciate nice watches but don't have a Rolex budget. Saw this watch and decided to give it a try. After 2 weeks I am very pleased with my purchase. It is very nice and considering the price I feel it is a great deal. I will definitely purchase other Invicta watches.

This watch will keep time for about 2 days without being wound. I have several automatics and the movement is better than average for less expensive watches. The band is well constructed but a little light considering the weight of the watch. The links are solid, not folded or bent, so I don't anticipate the band being a source of trouble. I am a big guy and still had to remove 2 links, which was very easy with the proper tool. The face is very appealing despite the fact that the numerals (6,9,12) don't contrast with the face enough to be easily seen. They are only visible up close with good light. (This doesn't bother me but I could see it being an issue for some.) The bezel seems to be a bit loose on one side, but isn't a big problem. I like the magnified date window as I can't see the date well on some of my other watches. This watch is large but not overly so.

If my review seems critical, I am only trying to be objective. This is a great watch and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. It is a very visually appealing watch.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice design but poor movement and support, December 2, 2010

By 

Brian Sung (Flemington, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Invicta Men's 6036 Pro Diver Collection Automatic Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)

This is a rather large diver, compared to other more standard size divers from Invicta (like the 6018 I have) and others it is a few mm larger in diameter and the band could not be sized to my wrist even after removing all the links - while on most other divers I only need remove two from each side. I really like the design of this watch but I will no longer buy Invictas for two reasons:

1) The movement, the newer NH25A is wildly inaccurate. This one runs nearly 10 minutes slow per month and the one in my 6018 runs nearly 10 minutes fast per month.

2) "Warranty" repairs cost $28! Nearly half the cost of this watch! I'm deterred from even sending it in to have the accuracy dialed in.

I'm sticking to Orient watches which are +/- 1 minute per month and have superb and free warranty service.

I bought one 6036 invicta less than a year ago, everything was ok until a few days when I forgot to take it off when swimming. the next thing I saw instead of clear Cristal was water in it, i don't know what to do or if invicta warranty would help, can any one PLEASE tell me if it have Screw Down Crown and everything was my fault? or if there is something wrong with my watch.
