Invicta Men's 3855 S1 Collection Racing Series Automatic Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is different in a nice way. It is a little on the big size but in a way that you don't notice while wearing it. Time is quite accuarate (while it stays wound). Totally satisfied.

Product Description:
Impressive styling, a striking display, and solid performance make this automatic watch from Invicta's S1 Collection Racing series a fine addition to any gentleman's collection. The large round stainless steel case frames a silver Côte de Genève patterned dial accented in blue and yellow. Silvertone and blue hour and minute hands, a yellow seconds hand, and Arabic numerals that indicate first minutes and then hours are featured on the dial, along with a date display near the 9 o'clock position and a tachymeter scale around the perimeter. The dial is topped with a resilient hardened mineral crystal and framed by a black steel bezel with a sporty grid pattern. Swiss-made 26-jewel automatic movement drives this dynamic timepiece, which means you'll never need to change a battery. It's outfitted on a black rubber strap stamped with the Invicta name and rated water resistant to 50 meters.

Automatic Watches

Automatic watches do not operate on batteries. Automatic watches are made up of about 130 or more parts that work together to tell time. Automatic movements mark the passage of time by a series of gear mechanisms, and are wound by the movement of your wrist as you wear it. The gear train then transmits the power to the escapement, which distributes the impulses, turning the balance wheel. The balance wheel is the time regulating organ of a mechanical watch, which vibrates on a spiral hairspring. Lengthening or shortening the balance spring makes the balance wheel go faster or slower to advance or retard the watch. The travel of the balance wheel from one extreme to the other and back again is called oscillation. Lastly, automatic movements come in different types, including movements that are Swiss-made, Japanese-made, and more.

Also referred to as self-winding, watches with automatic movements utilize kinetic energy, the swinging of your arm, to provide energy to an oscillating rotor to keep the watch ticking. They're considered more satisfying to watch collectors (horologists) because of the engineering artistry that goes into the hundreds of parts that make up the movement. If you do not wear an automatic watch consistently (for about 8 to 12 hours a day), you can keep the watch powered with a watch winder (a great gift for collectors). The S1 Rally is waiting to be taken out for a serious spin. At Invicta we know to cruise in the fast lane means to live in a world where a moment in time can determine ultimate glory. Look no further than an S1 timepiece to mark each second with precise perfection. This fully developed racing series is emboldened by features including Swiss movements, stainless steel casing, colored hands and textured dials.The deft S1 Rally will clock life's mileage both off and on the track.
