Pro Diver Stainless Steel Men's Automatic Watch - 42mm

Took delivery of this today and I have to say I’m very pleased and impressed with it so far. It looks very striking and the size is perfect on my wrist when I took out 4 links. 200m of water resistance which I highly doubt I’ll ever need but I’m sure it’ll be fine in the shower. A very reliable NH35 movement is what attracted me to this watch. Lovely screw down crown and I love the Invicta print on the side of the case. Very decent lume also that is nice and bright. As I’ve only had it an hour I can’t comment on its durability but I’m sure it’ll be fine for what I need it for. The only let down is the bracelet which is a little jangly but a minor issue which doesn’t really bother me. Definitely recommend. Great watch for the price. Was delivered a day early too. 👍

After seeing a few video reviews of Invicta watches I quickly had a scrol through the different designs and had been waiting an age for this one to drop in price and luckily this sales week brought me good fortune. An early Christmas present for myself... Well for the Mrs to give to me. There have been lots of comparisons between this watch and a certain luxury watch brand that developed a model of diving watch and if you want that brand go ahead and spend 15/20k, but I'm not concerned about brand. I want a good watch and this is what we have here. It arrives in beautifully bold yellow presentation box. Open it up and the watch is well protected with lots of film on the front and bracelet. Peel it off and the face is lovely and clear, the lume also works a treat for the hour markers. The date window also magnifys the date easily and clearly. The bezel can be rotated anti clockwise for diving use. It felt a bit stiff, which is better than too soft. Just rotate the marker at 12 to align with the minute hand and you can easily track time spent either underwater or since you put your dinner in the oven. The crown (winder) arrived already screwed down. This is the mark of a real diving watch. To stop water getting in lightly press the crown down and rotate so that it clamps onto the threads and seals the watch tightly. Unscrew the crown and you can then wind the watch. It will charge while being worn as thisbis an automatic movement but it's good to have the option to give it a quick charge if you won't be active or wearing it all day. Pull the crown out further and you can adjust the date and time. Then push it in and screw down again to seal. The movement is lovely and smooth, much smoother than other automatic watches i have that cost 3 times the price and thanks to the rear viewing window you can also see the internals which is nice. The bracelet is stainless and the clasp is a fold over type rather than butterfly. So it is very secure with no chance of it randomly opening and going flying. It is also a large bracelet. I have large arms and wrists and still had to take out a few links. On the wrist this feels like good quality. It's a balanaced weight. It doesn't feel like a gold brick trying to remind you and everyone around that it's there, and it also is not so light that it feels like it will fall apart. It's a happy medium. This is listed as water resistant to 200m and i can easily believe it. This is a very well made watch for an incredible price. Great value and quality. Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed, unless you want a £20k branded watch. Thank you for reading my review. I hope you found it useful

I’ve had a hankering for an Invicta for a while now and saw these were on offer on Prime day. At 42mm it’s about the biggest I can wear on my fairly small wrists. Accuracy is pretty good, within 8 seconds a day, but I could easily regulate it if I wanted to improve on that. The only minor gripes are a tiny pin prick mark on the bezel at about the 47 minute mark, but it really is tiny. The other which annoys me more but not enough to return it, the day magnifier is slightly out of alignment. Pretty inexcusable really but as I say, I can put up with it. It’s got a nice weight to it, it certainly feels more than an £80 automatic. The case is nicely finished, though I’m not a fan of the Invicta logo etched into the side. The bracelet is pretty decent and the clasp is extremely secure. Would I buy another? Yes, without a doubt! They’re every bit as good as everyone else says they are. There’s a blue 40mm on offer at just £73 at the moment, I fear I may be £73 lighter within the next few hours.

A very nice timepiece which keeps excellent time. Nice clear dial and a nice overall look appearing to be much more expensive than it actually was. One small dislike, the strap was very difficult to adjust and would suggest taking it to a jeweller for professional adjustment.

First ever Invicta. Brand gets a lot of flak mainly due to some of the more outlandish "designs". This one is obviously a take on the submariner/GMT. As such it works really well. The jubilee bracelet is an absolute pig to adjust, link pins are in really tight. Once sized though the bracelet is really comfortable. The lume is good, it's not great but if I charge it before before going to bed, I can read the time quite easily all night. The NH35 movement is great, this one is running at +1.79 seconds a day, a lot better than some of my Swiss watches that cost in the thousands. Now the final and most important part... I've read alot on the Internet about Invictas stating 200m water resistance on the dial, yet drowning in a puddle. I threw this one straight in a sink of water when it arrived, if it leaked it was going straight back. Left it submerged 3+ hours and gave it a good clean. No water got in, no fogging on the glass, no moisture signs front or back glass. Just screw the crown down properly!! All in all, a great watch I bought to wear in circumstances that I wouldn't risk my nicer watches. However this one is really growing on me, I'm starting to mother it like the rest of my collection. On the basis of this I bought my Mrs the 37mm quartz to wear for work, no issue with this one either. Good, solid, affordable watches. Certainly changed my mind about the brand.

Good watch. Just the right size. Keeps good time and looks quite good as well. The functionality it offers is what I needed for my use. Recommend.

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!

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

Excelente relogio. Original Invicta. Tamanho ideal. Vale muito a pena.

Thanks

Good watch
