Classic styling and high performance add up to an outstanding sport watch for your land or sea adventures. This automatic watch, from Invicta's Pro Diver series, places a large round stainless steel case on a robust triple link steel bracelet. The black dial is designed for quick and easy read-off, even in low light conditions. It offers three-hand function with Tritnite-coated luminous hands and hour markers and a magnified date display at the three o'clock mark. The dial is capped with a resilient mineral crystal and framed by a black unidirectional rotating steel bezel with coin edge detailing. This watch is driven by Japanese automatic movement, which is visible through the see-through skeleton caseback. It is rated water resistant to a full 660 feet (200 meters).
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.
Outstanding Price for Outstanding Quality!Reviewed by D. Lohman, 2010-03-02
I've long lusted after this watch because it closely resembles my Rolex Submariner, black on black. The pictures do it no justice, as this watch is an excellent copy of my Rolex -- except the luminous hour markers are small on this Invicta than my Submariner. This Invicta Pro Diver Collection Coin-Edge Automatic Watch (#8926c) has the weight,feel, and look of the genuine article, overall. It has nicely brushed links, with highly polished center links; the black dial, with black bezel, has a fine visual appeal; the bezel works smoothly. The sweep of the seconds hand is steady, but perhaps not as smooth as the real Mccoy; still, I'm very satisfied with it and am glad to have "given in" to my lusting for it. I wanted a look-alike to wear daily so I can minimze risk of losing or damaging my original. This watch fits the bill. I firmly believe this is an excellent buy for a very reasonable price. As usual, Amazon.com's shipping are outstanding: the watch came in its signature canary yellow box. Amazon's customer service is a model of what it should be. It's why I've been a faithful customer for the past several years.
Great value for the cost on close examinationReviewed by Kitsuno, 2010-02-28
I've had my Pro Diver 8926C for about 3 months now, wear it every
day, and have had absolutely no real problems with it. Since I wear
it every day, I don't have to wind it, and in the last 3 months, as
far as I can tell, it hasn't gained or lost ANY time whatsoever -
it is extremely accurate. Maybe I just got lucky, but if my watch
is any indication, the 8926C series watch seems pretty reliable and
high quality.
I have worn it swimming in the ocean with no problems at all, and
although I'm not terribly careful with it, there are no scratches
at all on the face, so it seems fairly scratch resistant, but the
metal watch band does appear to pick up scratches easier than I
would have expected, although they are not really noticeable. The
automatic winding mechanism is fairly quiet - I had one watch that
really made a distracting cranking sound when I moved around, so
this quiet mechanism is a nice change. The second hand has a nice
sweep, you can see it tick, but it isn't as jerky as some other
watches I've seen.
My only real "complaint" is the glow in the dark hour markers and
dial - it honestly doesn't last more than about 5 minutes in the
dark - basically you notice it is glowing brightly, but in a few
mere minutes, the face is dark and can't be read. I had the same
problem with my Citizen watch as well, while on the other hand my
Tag Heuer glows in the dark for over an hour. My other only
complaint is based on my own personal preference - this watch is
not as wide as I'd like, I prefer watches to be around 42-44mm, so
this watch feels small to me.
All in all, the watch is very accurate, looks good, very durable in
any conditions - water, heat, or activity, and considering the
price, is a tremendous deal. High quality for an almost
ridiculously low price.
I wanted a steak with the sizzle on a hamburger budget, but got a
raw deal!Reviewed by John T. Gilliland, 2010-02-24
I cannot say enough about how disappointed I am in this watch. When
I received this watch, I opened the box and thought I saw a well
crafted, stylish and pleasing piece of jewelry. Instead, all I got
was a shiny bracelet attached to a watch-shaped object. Oh, it is a
beautiful looking watch and I did not expect quartz precision in an
inexpensive automatic Japanese movement, but I did expect it to
continue running beyond the second day of ownership. This is all
the more disappointing because I really liked this watch when I
first got it and had to defend my purchase to my wife. Imagine my
chagrin now that I have to tell her that I am returning it because
it really is useless. Maybe this is a case-by-case thing and
another one of these would work perfectly, but I refuse to take
that chance. I am sending this watch back for a full refund and,
knowing how good Amazon is about these things, I expect to get
nothing short of a full refund and an apology for the
inconvenience. This does not sour me on the Amazon experience,
merely Invictaa as a company and on buying watches on the internet,
in general.
Keep watching this review as I will update it for any additional
comments.
Beautiful, but uselessReviewed by Nelson R. Parente, 2010-02-21
Look, the situation is plain and simple. The watch is well put
together and beautiful.
But for whatever reason it's not a good time keeper.
Mine gains 6 minutes per week and that makes it useless as a
watch.
Even for an automatic, this is very poor performance. It's going
back.
Total Junk - Costly Warranty processReviewed by Sidelines Observer, 2010-02-21
Received this watch recently.
Already the crown is defective. It will not screw back into
place.
The Invicta warranty terms are that you must send a $25 fee in the
form of a Money Order for the S&H. Add to this the approximate
$10 it will cost you to ship the watch using a secure shipping
service to the Invicta Service Center and the costs of getting a
money order, and now the costs to send this $100 watch for warranty
service are over 1/3 the price of the watch. If you purchase this
watch on sale for around $60 that's over half the watch's
price.
If you have to send the watch for service a couple of times it will
cost you about the price of the watch!
Either way this is absolutely unacceptable and totally
ridiculous.
If a company has a defective product it should pay the costs of
returning the defective item to you after it services the
item.
You've already paid the costs to ship it to the company, not to
mention the inconvenience of getting a money order and of doing
without the item for a few weeks.
For the above reasons the watch is going back to Amazon, and will
not go near an Invicta product ever again!
