InvictaMen's Pro Automatic Stainless Steel Watch

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 03/10/2021Its 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!

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.

Hermoso !!! El pedido tardó bastante en llegar pero valió la pena
