Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Providing a nostalgic nod to the classic masculine timepiece, the gold-tone Invicta Men's Pro Diver stainless steel men's watch (model 9311) features 23 karat gold plating and water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet). The round gold-tone stainless steel watch case measures 43mm (1.7 inches) wide and has a black unidirectional rotating bezel with gold markings. It has a black dial background with large luminous Tritnite hands (with seconds hand) and dotted dial markers. The stainless steel bracelet band mixes brushed and polished links. Other features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a date function at 3 o'clock.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Two-Year 9311 Review - Grade "A", June 2, 2007

By 

DavidCyrus "DavidCyrus" (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Invicta Men's 9311 Pro Diver Collection Gold-Tone Watch (Watch)

I purchased this watch two years ago, after a full month of online research and jewelry store inspections of Submariner-style watches; specifically, Invicta Pro Diver models. By contacting the seller directly (via email) before purchasing, I was able to verify which model design was for sale. FYI - depending on the model year, the 9311 can have a red, gold or black/gold Inivcta logo on the face, the bezel can be coin-edged or scalloped, and the second hand may or may not have a gold logo at the base. My watch has a red logo and a scalloped bezel, and no second hand logo. Incidentally, that watch is marked 9311A on the watch back. The appearance of the watch is cleaner with the scalloped bezel, however, the bezel is a bit more difficult to turn, due to less grip. You will probably only turn the bezel four or five times a year, so its usability is not a critical feature. Also, The logo at the base of the second hand is clutter- I would recommend ordering yours without it.

Some pictures of this watch online portray the glow-in-the-dark indicator at the apex of the bezel to be a bright greenish dot- this is not the case on my watch. The indicator is not pure pearl white, but I wouldn't call it greenish, it is quite similar to the hour and hand markings.

One of the watch features that impressed me originally was the thickness and purity of the gold electroplate. I'm not a watchmaker nor a metallurgist, so I'm not sure what the ads that touted "23K gold electroplate, 7 microns thick" were really representing. What I can tell you is that after two years of at least weekly wear in all environments, (the office, outdoors, swimming, etc...) the gold color is still solid over all the plated parts of my watch. Even areas that have been scratched on the band are still golden.

Another concern of mine was the hardness of the crystal. Nothing ruins the appearance of a nice watch quicker than a scratched crystal. This model has a mineral crystal, not the harder sapphire type. Relax; after two years of indelicate usage, there are no visible scratches on its crystal. The only damage to my watch at this time (outside of incidental scratches on the band) is a scratch on the bezel that has removed some black paint (and replacement bezels are available).

The band has worked flawlessly, and the watch keeps very accurate time. I may adjust it a minute or two every six months, but that is in the noise; adjusting my watch for a different time zone typically has this effect.

Overall, the watch is a great timepiece, and seems to be holding up better over time than a similarly-priced Citizen model I purchased a few years ago (which I have admittedly abused...) I am rating it a four, only because the screw-down crown can be a bit difficult to operate, and the magnifier over the date window is not effective.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cost about $100, Looks like $500, May 1, 2007

I ordered this watch because it is a fantastic mate for the ladies diver 8943 that I purchased for my wife.

The face and hands are easy to read and the date with the magnification is really easy to read. The watch looks much better than pictured. Gold plating is highly polished. Screw down crown is easy to operate thus setting date/time is a snap. The tritnite used to illuminate the hands leaves a little to be desired. It will light up fine after exposure to a good light source but dims more rapid than I would like. However, to everyone that owns an Invicta this is no surprise. Still, I give the watch 4.5 stars with this being the only drawback. If Invicta would correct this one small thing it would be 5 stars hands down. This is still a great deal. For about $100 you get a watch that looks like it would go for many more hundreds.

I highly recommend this watch and if you are looking for a his/hers set you may want to look at the above mentioned ladies watch. The 8943 is a tad smaller than the standard Invicta Ladies Diver and my wife likes the smaller size.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice watch for the price, April 4, 2007

This review is from: Invicta Men's 9311 Pro Diver Collection Gold-Tone Watch (Watch)

As stated by earlier reviews, the watch I received from Amazon wasn't "exactly" the same as the one pictured. The invicta logo is black, outlined in gold, instead of red. And it has a small invicta logo on the end of the second hand. Other than that, was pretty much identical. Definately a nice watch for the money ($84.99+free shipping). Good weight to it and nice finish. I have already had 2 people ask me if it's a Rolex. The box it comes in is more what you would expect to get with a watch that cost thousands more. It would make a very impressive gift watch.
