Upon receipt, this watch has an incredible WOW factor.I was extremely impressed by the design, style, size, and overall quality of the outward appearance of the watch.Genuine alligator strap had a beautiful deployant buckle as well.Liked the quick release pins on it as well - great if you swap straps out often.However, upon closer inspection I noticed a couple of the Rose Plated markers on the dial were not plated, so it didn't match the rest of the watch!This is something that Invicta's quality control should have spotted.

The crown edge also was a bit "sharp" if you have to manually wind it after sitting for a while - Invicta should sand this edge down a bit.The watch is no doubt STUNNING in appearance, but I just question the overall quality of the watch after seeing some of these quality control issues which should have been spotted.I had to send it back due to the mismatched markers, and was bummed that I could not receive a replacement, for the watch is stunning in looks and I would have liked to give it a chance to prove itself in terms of long term reliability.Definitely will purchase another one should the opportunity arise.I would have given it 5 stars had it not had the mismatched dial markers.Amazon refunded my payment very quickly - was very happy with their service and will shop again.

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). Reaching back through time, Invicta's Vintage collection captures the stylish elegance of the past and places it firmly on the wrist of the present. The result of this synthesis includes the original Invicta IV logo dating from 1837, exhibition case backs, antique finished dials, Roman numerals, alarm functions, leather straps or stainless steel bracelets. Evocative of classic European watch making yet striking the perfect balance between the past and future, the very best of the old and new world meet here at the point of Vintage.

Invicta Men's Pro Diver Collection Swiss Automatic Watch #4469 Review

Invicta Men's Pro Diver Collection Swiss Automatic Watch #4469
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This Invicta Swiss Pro Diver 4469 is sized in between the standard 8926 Pro Diver and the really big Invicta 3044 Grand Diver, but actually much closer in size to the Grand Diver. It has a big 22mm bracelet of the Grand Diver, without the diver helmet details, and the Grand Diver's deep case, with Invicta on the side.The bracelet clasp has a precision hinge compared to the stamped hinge of the 8926.It has the Rolex style coin edge bezel while the Grand Diver has the Omega style scalloped edge bezel.Although some of the popular Invicta 8926 Pro Divers come with the coin edge bevel, there is no mistaking this model for the 8926 Pro Diver, the difference in size is obvious once you have seen both.With a Swiss 26 jewel movement, mother of pearl face, saphire crystal, more magnification of the date, hacking movement... it is nicer in details than either the 8926 or the 3044.If you are looking for a big watch for a minimum price, the Grand Diver is bigger and does cost less than this 4469.But if you want a big watch with nicer movement than the Grand Diver, and nicer details, and are willing to pay a bit more, then this 4469 is an alternative to the 3044 Grand Diver.It does look a lot like the Rolex Submariner.It could be easily mistaken for the Rolex Submariner at a first glance.Which is not a bad thing, the Rolex Submariner is a beautiful watch.The Grand Diver in comparison, while a nice looking watch, with the scallped edge bezel, and diver's head on the bracelet, would hardly be mistaken for a Rolex submariner.

Invicta does make another watch that is an upgrade from the popular Pro Diver 8926.It is the Swiss Automatic Pro Diver 9937.It is the same size as the 8926, has a 25 jewel movement, instead of the 8926 21 jewels, or the 4469's 26 jewels, and a scalloped bezel.The 9937 is a nice watch and gets good reviews as an upgrade from the 8926 for automatic watch fans. Nevertheless, the 4469 is more watch in every respect.. and when I bought the 4469, it was the same price as the 9937.

Product Description:
Elegance and functionality combine to make Invicta's Pro Diver Collection Swiss Automatic Watch for men a superior timepiece. Featuring a combination of matte and polished stainless steel on the bracelet, a fold-over clasp closure, a stainless steel case and unidirectional bezel with chronographic indexes, a date window at the three o'clock position, and luminescent hourly indexes and hands set against a black dial, this handsomely designed watch has it all. In classic diver-style, this first-class watch is Swiss-automatic powered and water resistant to 1000 feet (300 M).
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.
Screw Down Crowns: Many Invicta watches are equipped with a screw down crown to help prevent water infiltration. This is most common on our Diver models. In order to adjust the date and/or time on such a watch, you must first unscrew the crown before you can gently pull it out to its first or second click stop position. To do this, simply rotate the crown counterclockwise until it springs open. When you have finished setting the watch, the crown must then be pushed in and screwed back in tightly. Not doing so will cancel the water resistance of the watch and will void all warranties from the manufacturer. Overall, this process should not require a lot of effort or force.

Invicta Men's 8926 Pro Diver Collection Automatic Watch Review

Invicta Men's 8926 Pro Diver Collection Automatic Watch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am very impressed with Invicta style and quality.They offer well-made watches at a very competitive price. I own seven Invicta watches and love each of them.They have the look and feel of a much more expensive watch.

This particular model looks almost identical to a Rolex Submariner.It is an automatic watch (if you don't wear it for around 24 hours or move around enough, the time must be reset) with 21 jewel Japanese movement and has a see through back that lets you view the automatic movement. The watch has a large 43mm face and it has Mercedes style hands and Tritnite luminescence markings with a magnified date marker.It is water resistant to 200 meters (just in case any of you will go down that far).

The one pictured above has an oyster-like bezel (Omega style).The older (Series 1 or S1) model of the 8926 have a coin edge bezel like the Rolex Submariner.The bezel rotates.Invicta makes really attractive bands that have a nice weight. The stainless steel silver band and black face combination is very sharp and will never go out of style. I have an 8.5" wrist and the watch accommodates my wrist with room to spare. They come in the trademark yellow Invicta box with an Invicta pillow.

The 9937 is an upgraded model of this watch that offers 25 jewel Swiss movement instead of the Japanese 21 jewel movement, a sapphire crystal, an improved stainless steel band (even though the one on the 8926 is great), solid end pieces, a better magnifier over the date, a flip lock safety clasp and a large rosewood box instead of the yellow box that comes with this 8926.

Invicta Men's 9937OB Pro Diver Collection Coin-Edge Swiss Automatic Watch Review

Invicta Men's 9937OB Pro Diver Collection Coin-Edge Swiss Automatic Watch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This watch is very good for 300 dollars. It resembles the Rolex Submariner very closely. It is very sturdy and heavy and I love it a lot.

The band of this watch feels sturdy and heavy. It is huge! The links are big. The center links are polished which gives it a more fancier look. It is a scratch magnet if you're not careful, but you can always polish it down again. Or you can brush it down to give it a more Submariner look.

When I first saw the back of this watch, it was incredible. I've never seen a Swiss automatic movement in person before, although it's through the crystal, it's beautiful! It's fun talking to my dad about the back of this watch and it's movement. I told him "You can see right there it says 26 jewels Swiss Made on the mechanism." Although on the crystal, it says Swiss Movement. That's because the movement itself is Swiss Made, but the watch itself isn't. But to me that's all the same! Swiss Made or Swiss Movement, it has a Swiss Made movement and that's all it matters for it to be Swiss to me!

This watch certainly looks a lot more pricier than it is. It also keeps time very nicely, I don't know how many seconds it gains or loses because I don't care much for that stuff. All I know is that it keeps time correctly and that's all it matters. The most beautiful part of this watch in my opinion is the second hand. You can clearly see that it flows very smoothly. That's called a sweeping motion and that's what the Rolex Submariner has! My dad owns a Submariner and I compared them both together and the movements are equilibrium!

To an untrained eye and to someone who does not know much of watches at all, they will surely confuse this watch with a Submariner. They look so much alike! The bezel, hands, dial, crown, diameter, etc. Everything is so the same style. This watch also uses a sapphire crystal like high end watches do.

The only issue I have with this watch is that Invicta has numerous watches that have the exact same style as the 9937OB but for lesser price using cheaper materials. It's not the problem though, the problem is that people confuse my 9937 with the lower end models because they don't know about this model because they only sell the lower end ones at Costco for 50 dollars and 100 dollars.

My dad came home from Costco the other night and said "You know what? You got ripped off for 300 dollars, I saw this watch on Costco for only 100 dollars." I was like WHAT DID YOU SAY? NOOO! I had to give him a deep brief explanation of how this is different because it's Swiss Automatic, it beats at 28,800 BPH, with a sweeping motion second hand, etc. etc.

If you don't care about what people think of you, this watch is well worth the price. But it's not worth it if you only care for the watches looks, you might as well go with the lower-end 5017 or 8926. Why spend the extra few hundred bucks for something that looks the same?

Here are the differences between the low-end 8926 and the high-end 9937.

The 9937 uses a high-end sapphire crystal while the 8926 uses the mid-end mineral crystal. The 9937 has a larger cyclops (Magnification Bubble) than the 8926, which allows it to resemble more closely to the Rolex Submariner.

One of the largest differences are the movements. The 8926 uses a Japanese Miyota movement which is used in Citizen automatics. The Miyota is not bad at all! It's really good, it just doesn't compare with the Swiss Sellita SW200 movement used in the 9937. The differences in the movements are the 9937 has a 28,800 BPH compared to the 8926 that beats at 21,600. Now what does this mean? Sweeping second hand motion! That's right, the 28,800 will move at 8 increments per second compared to 6 per second on the 21,600. That means the 9937 will tick smoother and because it beats at the same rate as a Submariner at 28,800. The second hand ticking will be nearly the same! While the 21,600 will be a bit rougher.

The 8926 will also have a cheaper bracelet, the 9937 uses a very strong sturdy bracelet that weighs a MEGATON! The end links on the 9937 also doesn't fold like the 8926 does. Because of this, another closer resemblance with the 9937 to the Rolex Submariner.

The 9937 uses a slightly smaller minute hand than the 8926. The 8926 uses a minute hand that is the size of a Rolex 50th anniversary Submariner while the 9937 uses a regular sized one.

Now another difference again is that the 9937 will say Swiss Movement on the bottom of the dial, while on the 8926 it will say Japan Movement.

Although there may be some more differences between them, this is all I can think up at the moment!

So for the conclusion? I am very happy with this watch, it is just monstrous for the pricing. Do I recommend it? It depends. If you don't care much about watches at all and don't care about the differences I provided for the price differential and would rather save money. Then I would say go with the 8926, but if you do care and you love watches then hey! Save the money and get the 9937! It's well worth it.

Product Description:
A clean black dial distinguishes this durable, dark-hued Invicta Men's Pro Diver Collection Coin-Edge Swiss Automatic Watch. A polished stainless steel band joins to a durable stainless steel case that's topped by a black, ion-coated, unidirectional coin-edge bezel that is imprinted with white indexes and Arabic numeral minute indicators in increments of 10. The striking black dial is protected by a scratch-resistant, sapphire-coated window, showcasing luminescent geometric hour indicators that complement luminescent, silver-tone hands. Small white minute markers and a date window at the three o'clock position complete the look of the visually appealing dial. This Swiss-automatic diving watch is water resistant to an impressive 660 feet (200 M) and is presented in a yellow Invicta gift box along with a buffing cloth.
