Invicta Pro Diver Stainless Steel Men's Automatic Watch - 40mm

Product Information

Finally, there’s also the Invicta 8926, which comes with a scalloped bezel instead of the coin-edge version. All the other visual and physical features are identical to the 8926OB.

The dial is covered with a mineral crystal, which is pretty much the standard in affordable watches. Hoping to get a sapphire instead of a mineral would have been too much to ask for the price point. The two most significant cons I faced were the almost non-existent luminosity and the rattling noise of the bracelet. When someone is thinking about buying the watch, I think the question is more related to how those with informed horology opinions feel about it. I see threads on forums all the time asking if this watch is any good and the comments are usually all over the place and honestly unhelpful. The worst comment of all is someone telling the poster that for the same money they could get a Seiko SNK or something such. That’s the worst response ever – this isn’t a decision based on value first. The hunt for a 40mm Sub case is a personal decision based on looks– you’re interested in the Invicta Pro Diver because of how it looks. The NH35 caliber is therefore equipped with features that watch enthusiasts appreciate the most. Moreover, it keeps an accurate time as well.A: When stored, these watches are precise enough, but when worn on the wrist, they lose time at a rate of one to six minutes every day. Q: Can you compete in a swim with an Invicta Pro Diver? The Pro Diver series is their most successful watch collection. Pro Divers are available in several colors, sizes, and designs. All of the timepieces in the range share Invicta’s dedication to quality and durability. These timepieces, as the name suggests, can be plunged to depths of 300 meters.

The alternative option is a Japanese quartz mechanism, which is even less expensive than the standard type. It’s also quite dependable, albeit most customers prefer the automated mode. ⚫The Design Another eye-catching element on the dial is the date window with a magnifying glass on top of it. It is a welcoming addition as, without the magnifier, the date window would require very sharp eyesight to read out the numbers. you just might find these get lots more wrist time than your high end certified divers. i love mine, and just have fun keeping them on my wrist.

The Invicta Pro Diver’s case is a tug-of-war of extremes for me. There are aspects I find incredible about it but there is also one thing that makes my blood boil. It also has exceptional diving qualities, with 200 meters of water resistance and brilliant hands. Overall, the components used in this item are one of the primary reasons why it is such an excellent value. ⚫The Movement

In terms of value, they make some of the cheapest watches on the market in designs that, at first look, appear to be similar. The problem of grades is a little hazier. Although Invicta advertises itself as a Swiss watchmaker operating in the Swiss heritage, not every watch in their inventory has Swiss timekeeping. This does not always indicate a decrease in quality. A quartz watch is, in fact, more accurate than a traditional Swiss manual watch. But, based on the pricing from this brand, their watches have great quality and can withstand any water activities, and still work. Should You Invest in an Invicta Watch? From my own experience, I can say that the Invicta 8926OB is definitely worth purchasing, especially considering the unbelievable price that gets you a Submariner lookalike with an NH35 automatic caliber. For the price, the watch offers more than you can wish for. And although I have worn it for only a couple of weeks, the whole construction and the prestige of the caliber suggests a long lifetime.

Did you know? The OB suffix next to the 8926 stands for Original Bezel, which is the first one they came out with. The other version without the suffix comes with a smoother bezel without the coin-edge design. This watch has been built and intended to resist extreme water conditions. It’s one of those “you get what you pay for” situations at this price range, but if you purposefully place it in a scenario where it will get destroyed, it will. To help you pass it down to generations, you have to take care of it properly. Frequently Asked Questions Q: How precise is the Invicta Pro Diver? The Invicta Pro Diver also comes 200m (660ft) water-resistant. I haven’t tried it out in the water yet, but swimming or snorkeling shouldn’t be a problem with this watch. However, taking it deep down for diving might not be the best of decisions.

A: Invicta promotes their Pro Diver watches as “water-resistant” to defined depths and ideal for professional maritime activities and demanding surface water sports. Q: At what level can Invicta be submerged? In recent years, the business has concentrated on producing large items that have left customers perplexed and disappointed. Various people assumed it would be another blunder, yet it may be the watch that enables them to turn things around when the Pro Diver was announced. The Details ⚫The Material If you remove the finishing and end link fitting out of the picture, the bracelet itself isn’t too bad. The links are simply changeable and articulate well enough for all-day convenience. They attract scratches and rapidly make the Pro Diver seem worn. A: Though Invicta claims that their Pro Diver timepieces are water-resistant to a depth of 50 to 300 meters, depending on the model. Q: Where is the Invicta Pro Diver manufactured? It all leans on what you’re looking for. Invicta is not a luxury item watch, so if you prefer a brand to say anything about yourself, they are probably not for you. However, if you want a watch brand that will keep its worth or perhaps rise in value over time, you should consider a more expensive brand.It’s not a bad thing in itself that it doesn’t turn easily because a dive watch can’t have an easy-to-turn bezel. Besides, most of us won’t be using it frequently anyway, and it serves more of a visual purpose rather than practical. However, I would’ve preferred a somewhat easier operation of the bezel.
