This automatic men's timepiece has stainless steel construction, including a unidirectional bezel, a fold-over-clasp-with-safety, and a 43-millimeter case with a screw-down skeleton exhibition back. The black dial is magnified with an anti-reflective mineral crystal dial window and features a date display at the three o'clock and Tritnite luminous hands and markers. This luxurious two-tone, shock-resistant watch is also water resistant to 660 feet.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).

Fantastic Watch for the PriceOct 12, 2008
By Mark A. Daniell
"M Daniell"
I bought this watch a few months ago to replace a Seiko quartz watch I had been wearing daily for a few years. I've been extremely impressed by its looks and quality. I've received a lot of compliments on it, both when showing it to friends and unprompted - it's hard to beat such classic styling. The design is both sporty and durable enough to wear on a daily basis, and nice enough to wear with a suit. Morover, since most people nowadays don't even know what an automatic watch is, showing them the action through the window in the back can be a good conversation starter.
I won't saw that this watch can rival the quality of the Rolex watches on which its design is based, but for a fortieth of the price, I can hardly complain about that. The action is a bit cheap - even though I wear the watch daily, it gains about 5 minutes every 2 weeks or so. I do sit at a desk most of the day and do not use a watch winder overnight.
Overall though, for the price, it's hard to beat this watch or one of Invicta's similar watches. I highly recommend it.

Invicta Pro diver 8927Jul 07, 2008
By Michael P. Carroll This is my fourth Invicta diver's watch - they are very well made watches - never thought I'd own more than one at a time, but these are great buys and having a diffewrent look for different occasions is fun. It's a heavy watch and works well in and out of the water. I take it surfing about once a week. Keeps perfect time and looks like a Rolex at a fraction of the cost - highly recommended.

Great Low Maintenance WatchDec 23, 2007
By JR How often have you reached for your "dress watch" for an important event only to find the battery is flatlined? I really get annoyed having to replace watch batteries every year. Getting the watch to the repair shop, waiting or coming back is about 2 hours per watch.
Now I will only use a solar powered, self wind, or 7+year battery watch (Casio has them)
This Invicta watch looks just fabulous and appears to be built extremely sturdy. I intentionally got the diver's watch for the ruggedness. This is not a lightweight watch. This isn't one of those light watches that disappear on your wrist during the day. You will always know it is there. The watch and matching band appear to be made with very high quality. I will be on the look out for the reveiw of excessive wearing of the plating.
One important note that seemed to be lacking in my watch instructions is that the stem to change the date and time needs to be wound back into the casing to keep the waterproofing intact. Firmly pressing the stem inward as you turn it clockwise gets the stem seated into a watertight position. Keep turning until it is finger tight.
************* UPDATE *************
I bought this watch simply because it doesn't need batteries and it looks GREAT. So the day before Xmas, I went Amazon window shopping and looked at Rolex watches for fun. The first Rolex I saw was the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner Date Two-Tone Steel Mens Watch 11613BK, List Price: $7,825.00 Amazon Associate Price: $7,108.00. To my surprose I found this Invicta was designed to be a knockoff of this Rolex from the git go. All the markings, colorings, shape of the hands, etc. are copied very close but not close enough to cause a lawsuit. No wonder there is so much heft to the Invicta...
Main technical difference between the watches....movments of course and pressure depth, Rolex claims 1000 feet, Invicta 660 feet. Thats $21 per foot extra.
If you are in the market for the Rolex, I would certainly recommend buying the Invicta first to see if you like the color scheme with your wardrobe.

Great value overall; runs fast thoughJan 07, 2007
By J. Vahl The look and feel are very pleasing. Definitely high quality. Only negative is that it keeps running fast. Every week I have to move it back a few minutes. Have received many compliments from friends.

Very Nice, InexpensiveMay 28, 2007
By P. M. Patterson The watch is very beautiful. I used to wear a Kinetic Seiko for just business but after purchasine the Invicta watch, I am hooked. I really like the mechanical movement, even if it isn't as accurate as a quartz. It is something you don't see everyday. I wear this watch all of the time and would be interested in looking into other Invicta watches.
