Men's Pro Diver Automatic Watch

I bought this golden watch from the Invicta brand and it honestly exceeded all my expectations. From the first moment you can see the excellent quality: the golden finish is elegant, shiny and very striking, perfect for both special occasions and for daily use. The watch feels sturdy and well built, it is not one of those that seem fragile. In addition, it is very comfortable on the wrist and the size is ideal. I have received several compliments since I use it. Without a doubt, it is an excellent purchase for the price. I totally recommend this product and this supplier for offering an authentic and very good quality article.

Just today received my new Invicta 42mm Silver Pro Diver Model 21978 with the stainless steel jubilee bracelet from Amazon. Delivery from Amazon was quite fast, in 2 days as promised. The watch arrived in the classic yellow Invicta watch box including the standard instruction manual and Invicta polishing cloth. Given the price point, the build quality for this watch appears to be well above my initial expectation. Took it to my local jeweler who quickly sized it to my 7.25" wrist. As you can see from the photo, at 42mm, this watch is rather large, but is very much to my liking. The black dial with silver indices and silver markings on the black bezel is very readable. Although the design is clearly a homage to the Rolex Submariner, the Invicta branding makes it clear that this is not a Submariner. And, at $75.50, the value of this 200M dive rated watch is extraordinary. The bezel rotation and crown action is very positive and very smooth. The jubilee bracelet is comfortable and quite adequate. The Seiko NH35A Japanese automatic movement has a long history for quality and mechanical accuracy. I have not been a fan of Invicta watches in the past, however, I love the way this Invicta Pro Diver looks on my wrist and like the overall quality. I plan to provide a more in-depth review after a few months. If you are thinking about buying this 42mm Pro Diver and have any questions about this Invicta watch, please do not hesitate to leave a comment. Update 03/10/2021 Its been three weeks since I received my new Invicta 42mm Diver and I am so thrilled with it that I could not wait a few months to post an update. This watch looks and feels so much better than expected. The quality at this price point is nothing short of amazing. I have worn it on and off together with my Seiko SKX007 pretty much every day, and will often keep it on to sleep at night with no issues. The black dial with white lume indices is crisp and easily readable. The bezel is piano black with silver minute marks which provides a nice compliment to the black dial. It also lines up perfectly with the chapter ring and the rotation, although quite firm, is smooth and precise. The lume is not as good as a Seiko SKX007, but it is quite adequate. With a 30 second charge, the lume will pretty much last all night. The Japanese NH35A caliber movement is a real workhorse, is quite reliable, and makes for a great daily tool watch. The jubilee bracelet is very attractive and is quite comfortable. After having it sized by my local jeweler, I decided I needed to tighten it up a bit which I was able to do very easily with the 4 micro adjustments on the clasp. I really cannot say enough good things about this 42mm Submariner homage. I have never been a fan of the oversized Invicta quartz watches, however, this 42mm automatic is something quite special to me. Some reviews have criticized the Invicta branding on this diver, however, I tend to like it and think it adds its own charm to this beautiful timepiece. If you can find this watch at or below $75 dollars, I would not hesitate to recommend that you make the purchase. You will not be disappointed!

So, I have a lot to say and only write reviews when a product really rubs me the right way, 100%. So, here we go : Excellent watch! Love the colorway, movement and pretty much everything about the watch. Feels great on and has micro adjustment options on the jubilee bracelet. Beautiful watch. My only criticism is that the edges on the inner lug edges are a bit sharp where they meet the solid end link and the finish on the top of the lugs could afford to be finished more smoothly. Not terrible, but an improvement could afford to be made in that respect. The bezel can be a bit hard to turn at times if you don't have the right grab on it, but it is solid and sound when it does turn. No back play on mine and lined right up on the money as well. That part is not a criticism, but just something I found, could just be me though, who knows. Now, don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the watch! And I would and likely will buy another in the future just to have an extra, but just giving some constructive criticism regarding the lugs. Overall, don't hesitate to pick one up if you like a crisp, clean looking watch that has some life to it, is pretty hefty and is well made. At 42mm and a nice chunky case to boot, it feels great wearing it if you like to know you're wearing your timepiece when you wear it. Now, mine came with the rotor that did not include the yellow signature sticker, but it still looks nice and clean looking at the exhibition window. The movement and exhibition feature is still a nice one, sticker or not. And no doubt, it is a true Invicta. My thoughts are that some of the more recently produced/manufactured models are just kind of hit or miss with that, but I don't mind. If you worry it is a fake, please don't. It's a real one. Bang for buck is spectacular. Get one while you can. I wanted to be able to sport mine immediately, and with spring time coming soon it will just mix well with a nice, sunny day. It seems Invicta must be having a hard time keeping up with the demand for this one, among many others they produce. I ordered mine when it was out of stock here on Amazon and was so happy that they restocked pretty quickly. Just get one (at least) and enjoy it. That's what it's about. Trust me, it's well worth the purchase. Wear it with pride, take time to enjoy the watch and life, and all the best!

Great watch, it looks and feel way more expensive than what it is.. the movement is nice and smooth... mine did no come with the yellow color in the back, but still looks awesome... exelelent product for the price.

The watch is great. I was a little doubtful for two things; first I come from owning two Pro Invictas with 40mm size, so I didn’t know how it would fit, but although on the large size it fits pretty well; the other part was the color scheme, well I have to say that its one of the best executed color schemes I have seen, the blue dial is beautiful, the bezel is a darker blue, and the rose gold and steel go perfect with the blue dial. Accuracy in my example is about 12+ seconds every 24 hours, that’s not bad if you are accustomed to automatic watches. The movement is a Miyota821A-43A (if you see a picture of an SII movement from Seiko, know that that is incorrect, this Invicta sports the Miyota. I have to add that it’s hand-windable and hackable movement. This Miyota movements (based on the 821A) are originally non-hacking, but I guess they are making new movements with this added feature. So I’m very happy with this upgrade. The finishing on the case is better than the 40 mm Auto Pro Divers. The bracelet looks and feels great, but here’s where the 5th star was lost, hence the 4 star review. The bracelet was near to impossible to size up, Mi wrist is between 6.75 and 7 inches, so I had to take off like 4 or 5 links. The problem started with the links of the bracelet being super tight. I broke two very simple tools for link removal, but third time’s a charm. The thing is while trying to remove the links, one of them broke, like came to pieces, but I got the job done. So, if you buy this and know in advance that you’ll have to take a couple of links of the bracelet, be prepared to go to your local jeweler or be patient and resourceful with some good and sturdy tools at your disposal. At the end my trick was to soak in some warm water and dish soap the part of the bracelet that wouldn’t budge. For the color scheme, it’s all worth it.

Awesome watch for a nice price really recommend go get yours

Item description: Invicta Pro Diver Automatic Stainless Steel Brand: Invicta Item: B07M5J8QWM Date received: 2023-07-02 Headline - 3- to 4-digit caliber watch at a 2-digit price Product Claims 1 ct, stainless steel Invicta Pro Diver model 29177 automatic (self-winding) Diver's Watch I received exactly what was claimed in the product description. It was professionally boxed in a nice Invicta hinged box. After a number of hours of evaluating other watches I was hopeful for this one, but what I got blew away my expectations. My requirements: I was looking for low maintenence (stainless steel, and at least a mineral crystal - a sapphire crystal would have been ideal but I have to manage my expectations in my price range, and while we're on that I was hoping to stay inside a <=US$120 price), self-winding (automatic - non-battery), waterproof (screw-in crown), a band that I am capable of adjusting myself, and an accuracy capable of maintaining a reasonable time (plus or minus a minute) for multiple days. I also wanted a watch with a "masculine, rugged but professional" look - a subjective thing. My research: I have a quartz watch that retails for >$400, and it keeps time to within a second. I have to give that level of accuracy up for a self-winding watch in my price range. It turns out that non-quartz, non-battery, self-winding mechanical watches that are not in the "ridiculous" price range, typically have guaranteed accuracies in the -20 to +40 seconds per day (temperature dependent), with individual watches often bettering that number but not guaranteed to do so. I would prefer better accuracy, but I was willing to compromise to that level (worst-case) in order to get everything else at a lower price. I found a lot of inexpensive watches that met most of the criteria, but not all (especially not the self-winding requirement). I found a few watches that met all the criteria, but the cheapest of them was $200+, if not several times that. Then I found this watch and it seemed almost too good to be true. The reviews were largely optimistic so I decided to take a risk and ordered it. What I found with this watch: Very attractive packaging: supremely suitable for gifting Assembly location: Malaysia Power: self-winding, allegedly 41 hour power reserve (I haven't tested that yet) Movement: Seiko NH35A Japanese movement with 24 jewels, beats at 21,600 bph (6 beats per second), includes hacking (ability to stop and adjust the second hand independent of the minute/hour hands), hand-windable, and impossible to over-wind Construction: stainless steel, diver's watch with screw-in crown (rated as water-resistant at 200m), self-adjustable metal band with a safety clasp Look and feel: It has that subjective "masculine rugged but professional" look Weight: (less one link) 140.33 grams Size: 32 mm crystal, 42 mm bezel ring, 13.9 mm thick (15 mm to the top of the date bezel) Features: Luminous hands and dial hours, sweep second hand, date (but not day or month), easy to adjust My immediate experience: I opened the box, pulled it out (hands were already moving as I pulled it out), removed the crystal protection films, adjusted the time and date on the watch, did a manual wind, and immediately wore it for a day. The band was too loose so I pulled the micro-adjustment in on the closure as far as it would go, and that helped, but it was still able to rotate on my wrist, so on the second day I removed a link from the band, which went fairly quickly and well, and gave me the tightness that I was looking for without being overly tight. I appreciate that I can make major and minor adjustments on the band without needing to take it to a jeweler. What level of accuracy did I get? On my first two consecutive days it was 6 seconds fast each day. Better than guaranteed by the movement, and better than expected, so I'm very happy with that. What did I not get? Everything that was promised was delivered. However, since I brought it up, for the price I did not get a sapphire crystal (but of course it does not come with that). My only real quibble is with the nighttime luminosity - I found that the luminous hands and dial markers are rather dim; yes, they are there and usable, but they are difficult to see until your eyes adapt to the darkness.

This watch uses the Seiko NH35 movement, and it keeps amazingly accurate time. NH35 movements are not regulated at the factory (as far as I know), but mine has so far performed as if it were. Invicta made a very wise decision to put this movement into this watch. Both from a performance standpoint as well as an economic one, the NH35 was the right choice. It is a very budget friendly watch that is also a very good looking watch. Submariner Hommage Watches almost exclusively come with the Oyster style bracelet, but the Jubilee style REALLY works on this watch. It is both comfortable, and VERY light on the wrist. As I’ve stated already this is a VERY affordable watch, with a well PROVEN accurate workhorse of a movement, and it wears, and looks really good (even the cyclops is placed correctly, which isn’t always the case with some Hommage Watches). Overall, in my opinion, Invicta got it right with this watch, but there are 2 things I would wish were different. One; name placement. No one will EVER look at this watch and mistake it for a Rolex Submariner, as the INVICTA name and logo appear in multiple places. The one thing that I think would make this watch a little better, would be to remove the INVICTA name that is currently engraved on the left side of the case. It wasn’t a deal breaker for me, but I would remove that if I could. Two; Bezel alignment. Not all bezels align correctly. It happens sometimes (this is where I truly nitpick this watch). The bezel on my watch is literally a half click off center alignment with the dial. I wish this had been corrected at the factory. Had I intended to actually dive with this watch I would have returned it immediately upon opening it. But, ….I’m never going to go diving with this watch, and although I wish the alignment were correct, it isn’t enough to negate my wearing it. Overall I am very happy with this watch. From its accuracy , to its appearance, to its comfortable wearability, and last but not least it’s budget minded price. This is my first Invicta, and from this experience it will not be the last.

Nice watch. I love it. Strap is a bit light but it makes sense considering the case weight is already there.

Boutique watch, extremely well made, but at a fraction of the price

Thanks

Good watch

Getting CSOC Swiss accuracy out of mine, only losing 2 to 3 seconds per day, that's not too bad considering there is 86400 seconds in a day, that's approximately 2,592,000. Seconds a month, so only losing 90 seconds a month, that's fantastic accuracy, a little larger than a submariner at approximately 42mm in diameter, but wears smaller and looks great, bezel action is great and screw down crown works perfect, thanks amazon and Invicta, you've done it again...
