InvictaPro Diver 0420 Men's Watch - Waterproof - Analogue - Automatic Movement - titanium with black dial - 45mm - titanium

EDIT: I have left my first review at the bottom. This is my second purchase after returning the first shambles. My old review was one star, it is now 5 stars. It blew me away, Invicta have a hit and miss quality, as I have found out...Firstly, a few little moans and niggles. On the back, it says: All Titanium. It's not. The bezel and crown are steel. The centre links in the bracelet may be steel, but also give the impression of polished/better finished titanium. It's slightly rattly and gives the touch of aluminium. The bracelet is link pins and are tough to remove, since titanium has next to no give. But the links and clasp all work well with no sharp edges.The case and body are good. It's 44mm in diameter, 48mm with crown and 53mm lug to lug. The 120 click bezel gives a good ratchet and the lumed pip sits 'slightly' to the right. The lume appears to be C1 and glow most of the night. Whereas the pip and hands have more layers as they glow brighter than the indices.The crystal, I think is mineral. I'm not sure, I haven't double checked. The cyclops over the date is good for watch in this price bracket. I can JUST about read the date whilst my hands are at a driving position.I put this though an accuracy report of 6 days, between wrist wear, on winder, on its back, and on the 3 and 9 o'clock position. And I get an accuracy of +5.4sec per day. This is REALLY good. It's always best to be running slightly fast that slightly behind.I really do like this watch. I don't know what to say, except I am pleasently surprised by Invicta making a really good watch, that is titanium to boot. I wish they could apply this logic to all their watches without venturing in to the over sized cases.If you have been looking for a watch that just works, keeps going and is tough to wear. I think this is it. I got this for £126. It's so good, I feel like purchasing another just for the fun of it. I think I will also be looking at the steel case ones as I have been hearing nothing but good things about them.Original review;When I first opened the box, I thought WOW!!! a 200m divers titanium watch with screw in crown and glow in the dark 12 o'clock marker, for just over £100! I'll never get this offer again! Its so light, it feels like its made of aluminum! Ive got an alumium watch, really light, but soft as butter!Then I lifted the watch out the box and noticed how cheap the bracelet was. The links had a huge sway from side to side, not little as you would get in any other watch of £100, but a LOT! So much so, that you could look close and easily see the link pins between the gaps! hmmmmm... maybe 4 stars I thought....So, I took it out took off all the wrapping, turned the bezel and thought, wow, this is really stiff..... but it was turnable. So I adjusted the time and date and wound it up and set it off! Good! it was keeping nice time. It matched second by second over hours!By that night, things got worse. I notice if I unscrewed the crown, pulled it gently out to set the time, the hands would begin adjusting, then I would hear a click! and the hands would stop moving! I would (somehow) have to pull the crown out a little bit further to adjust the hands! Not good. What damage was this causing inside to the mechanics!It was maybe some hours after that I was using the bezel to time moments. Then it just stopped. No matter how much force I used the bezel refused to turn! I was moments away from using pliers!So, I sent it back instead.Im really disappointed. Ive heard so many problems over the quality of invicta watches and this proves it.I may try again in the future, because I really want a titanium dive watch. As a titanium dive watch(especially automatic) is much sought after.

If you want an automatic diver style titanium watch, you cannot go far wrong with this watch from Invicta. Watch fanatics and purists will probably not like this review, but if you just want a good quality for the money timepiece, read on.OK this is a homage watch that looks very similar to the Rolex Submariner with the Mercedes hands and date window, but it has a manual wind hackable movement from Seiko in the NH35A that keeps good time; my example is averaging less than +4 second a day over a 14 day period, that is as good as some very expensive movements out there. The finish of the case is sand blasted and is perfect, the case back has an exhibition window to see the movement and the unidirectional bezel is a 120 click very precise rotation, but is a little on the stiff side; this will probably get a little looser in time. All of the indacies have been applied and have a silver edging to them that looks very well executed and I love the Invicta wings on the second hand.The bracelet is titanium and of reasonable quality, I have sized mine but never worn it as I prefer a Nato strap, paired with a black grey Bond style strap it looks amazing.The only negative point I can relay is that the lume is very poor, which is a shame because it would not cost much more to have had a Superluminova used and I would have definately paid more to have it.Bottom line, if you want a quality timepiece that has been well made and keeps good time and don't want to spend a small fortune, then take a look at one of these.

Invicta's Pro Diver range is a homage to the Rolex Submariner, which is something that draws both praise and criticism from aficionados, but isn't really something to be worried about. The range stands on its own merits, offering good movements and decent build quality at a keen price.This particular model is a good example of this. The use of titanium really sets this particular piece apart from its stablemates. Not only does the titanium bring light weight - this watch is only about 130g - but the tone and matte effect of the metal bring a unique style that contrasts, in my opinion, beautifully with the polished stainless steel accents on the piece (the crown, bezel, and centre link caps).The one thing that I wish Invicta didn't carry over from the Rolex is the cyclops magnifier over the date. On a Rolex this will be perfectly aligned, on the Invicta it wasn't. Because I don't like them at the best of times, I elected to have the crystal replaced altogether by a local professional at a cost of £40. It's only a standard mineral crystal, but for me it was worth it because I much, much prefer the look of the watch without it - see image.As I got the watch on a deal price for under £100, and as it has the excellent Seiko NH35A movement, I considered that it was worth the investment. I'd say it's very good value for money for a 200m water resistant automatic, but watch out for the quality control and make sure you're happy with it.

really light almost feels like its made of plastic and easily scratches as its a matt surface finish but its still a nice watch i bought it to go diving in malta on holiday to avoid damaging my more expensive watches... it performed flawlessly no misting no water damage even in he jacuzzi and pool keeps perfect time.. +/- 1 second a day and teamed with a nato strap feels awesome attached a pic for reference..its a 22mm strap by the way as it caught me off first and had to buy some bigger nato straps.. the auto wind feels a bit grindy on mine may just be the mechanism ect may get it checked if not i still have a while on amazon warranty ...but all in all a nice watch and its titanium!... I'm a sucker for titanium...if only they did the same design in titanium with tritium lighting id be happy as larry...whoever he is ;)
