Invicta VINTAGE Pro Diver 31290 Men's Automatic Watch - 40 mm

Product Information

Despite my reservations about the execution of the design, it’s worth highlighting that some of the physical aspects of this watch are very impressive indeed. The few watches that get a sliver of a fair chance among enthusiasts are among the Pro Diver line, many of which are homages to the Rolex Submariner. One thing to appreciate about Invicta is their addition of a customized rotor. In their signature yellow, the rotor adds a degree of decoration to an otherwise plain movement. Admittedly, it’s a bit nicer than the bare steel rotors on some of Seiko’s own watches.

Nevertheless, I’d like to highlight some things others haven’t mentioned, in case you’re considering buying one. My aim here isn’t to bash the watch, rather to provide you with the full story, so you can make an informed purchasing decision. Apart from the featured Invicta Pro Diver 34334, let’s briefly describe one representative from each of the listed successful collections, to get a gist of the rich catalog Invicta offers. Invicta Men 17203 Aviator I would like to call attention to the brand’s marketing strategy, wherein the MSRP of their watches is highly inflated and instantly slashed to give the impression of value and savings. On-wrist it feels a little like a mishmash of a modern diver and a vintage one. They’ve attempted to imitate the original Submariner, to the extent where they even have its release year on the dial, yet have failed to fully encapsulate the essence of a vintage watch. I think we’ve seen other brands such as Timex do a better job of capturing that soul and spirit with their Q Lineup, which may be a factor in their popularity, despite the lower-end specifications. Lume has been applied to the indices, bezel pip, and hour and minute hands. Alas, there’s none on the second hand lollipop. The application is even, though it’s not particularly bright or long lasting.Yet, rather quietly, an auspicious dive watch has sneaked its way onto the scene; with very little marketing. This one first cropped up in early 2020, so why am I only just talking about it now? Well, naturally, or perhaps artificially, by the time I discovered the watch, it had already sold out. I personally like the look of a coyote brown NATO, as the color is spot on with the gilt accents. Lume

Today’s article focuses on Invicta Pro Diver 1953 Pepsi Bezel 40mm 34334 200M men’s watch. But, first, we’ll go into detail about its features and what makes it unique. Considering all my previous bad experiences with Invictas, I have to admit that they got this one right! I wish they would put out more watches along these lines instead of the garish monstrosities they seem to prefer. Though, if you can look past the connotation Invicta carries, some of their watches are solid value propositions. It must be thanks to one of these features: 18 karats rose gold ion plating on the pushers, crown, and bezel, 100m water resistance, deep blue dial, and four subdials, all powered by a Japanese quartz movement. Invicta Specialty Men 14330Invicta dedicates special attention to their female fans, as well. A vast Angel collection contains many attractive watches in styles and dimensions suitable to sophisticated ladies’ tastes and wrists. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite so impressed by the watch itself. In fact, I think it’s a bit overhyped. Here’s why. With a gentle 32.5mm in diameter, Lady 14842 is bound to fit on even the most fragile wrists comfortably. Elegant gold-colored stainless steel case, enhanced with six white crystals, powered by Swiss quartz movement shielded by a flame fusion crystal glass stain, and paired with a soft leather brown strap, make this stunning watch one of the most popular Angel models.

Invicta Pro Diver Pepsi Bezel with a complementary MiLTAT Zulu red & grey ballistic nylon Notable Invicta collections and watches We’re treated to a signed crown on this one. The crown takes on a matte, seemingly bead-blasted finish with radial brushing around the Swiss cross symbol. A visionary goal they managed to achieve. Moreover, they have kept nurturing it through all the stages of their more than a century-long history and several ownership changes. In traditional Submariner fashion, the stainless steel case takes on an exclusively brushed finish, except for the polished chamfered edges running the length of the lugs.Though, this is a concern specifically if you wear the watch on the bracelet. If you decide to swap it out for a NATO or other type of strap there’s ample space between the lugs for your fingers to grip. Invicta Pro Diver Pepsi Bezel 34334 casual appeal with: left and right Invicta Pro Diver 1953 Pepsi Bezel 40mm 34334 200M Men’s Watch Invicta isn’t a brand to shy away from marketing. If you haven’t had them rammed down your throat on television, you’ve probably had them stalk you around the internet instead. They’ve even done collaborations with everyone from Shaq to Star Wars and Spongebob. I’d go as far as to call them the loudest brand in the watch world. The lugs are brushed diagonally, while the sides of the case are brushed horizontally across. Like many others, I was relieved to see no “INVICTA” script engraved into the side of the case, which was the most common grievance with previous Pro Diver references.
