User Reviews
Invicta Chronograph 
First, let me say this watch is big. And weights about 8 ounces. It takes about a week to get used to wearing it. I think it is best suited for someone with a medium or large wrist. This is a nice hand made Swiss time piece.
It is a limited edition numbered unit out of 2300 made of watch. Probably will increase in value due to the limited availability.
The watch comes in a genuine leather gift box, and a polishing cloth is included. This would be a good gift for the man in your life.
The watch has a curved leather band, which makes it easy to fasten. It has 53 diamonds around the dial to highlight the numbers. It has 25 jewels inside, and is self winding, so you don't spend money on batteries. It has 3 inlaid mother of pearl dials, plus a mother of pearl circle around the entire dial, it has a stop watch and 2 other function dials. It tells the day and date. It has a glass see through back, which you can see the winder, and cogs etc. working. It has florescent hands to help you see the time in the dark.
This is a man sized watch, for a real man. :2011-08-19 01:50:46
a good looking watch when you need to dress up
The big knock on Invictas seems to be there reliability, but thats tough to evaluate right off the bat. So if I have any issues I'll update ASAP.
The shiny diamondy things on the numerals are the only problem I have with this watch. Why'd you put that much bling on an otherwise very good looking watch I'm not totally sure. But they dissapear once you put it on your wrist for the most part. The convex glass also adds to the sophistication, as does the back window to observe the automatic movement. I couldnt manage to take any pictures that showed off how great the concave glass makes it look...
So far the watch has been +2 secs a day. Not bad for a non COSC auto in my opinion.
The strap seems pretty good quality leather, but I'll see how it wears.
Its heavy and feels solid and has nice modern flair. The skeleton type hands are pretty easy to read and the chronograph function has worked well so far. It has very limited water resistance, which is what will limit this to a black tie type watch for me. But that the great thing about automatics, just pick em up, shake and set and theyre ready to rock and roll.
I'll upload a picture of the back, which is probably my favorite part of the whole watch, since I dont own any watches with sea through backs (probably cause theyre all rated to one thousand feet plus.)
As usual ask any questions and I'll answer promptly! :2011-08-19 01:50:26
Don't poke yourself in the eye with this beauty
This is a BIG watch. It even comes in a big box. When you first hold it it feels heavy and bulky. It is a bit challenging to buckle the oh so comfortable leather strap.
That being said, this watch is a breeze to set. A no brainer. And once you wear it (and you need to wear it to wind it... no battery, your wrist motion winds the excellent movement) it becomes more comfortable. It is bulky on your wrist, but you get used to it.
Why would you want diamonds in a watch that seems more rugged than dressy? I think that is a waste on this type of watch. But there they are all over the watch face. Nice touch but a big extravagant.
If you don't mind the ruggedness, big size that is, then you will love this watch. The chronograph function is very easy and simple.
Excellent company and excellent watch for those who like a big hunk of a watch on their wrist. :2011-08-19 01:50:06
Quality Limited Edition Watch
This Invictus anniversary edition watch came in a largish box. I assumed the box was stuffed with padding but it turned out that this watch needed its canary-yellow, ribbed stitched leather box. It's massive. Still, it must be said that the lovely tan suede interior displays the watch quite nicely.
At first I was a bit disconcerted by the size of the watch. You can get some idea of why by looking at the sizing diagram with the pictures in amazon's product images. The second thing that struck me was how heavy it is. It has a large crystal dome-shaped face made of a material that goes by the trademark name of Flame fusion crystal. This is a kind of sapphire/crystal combination molecularly bonded in a very high temperature treatment and is almost indestructible. So if you want to take this watch cycling, it should be safe.
The watch body is stainless steel treated with a gun metal finish. The face has chronograph stopwatch dials. What you might not be able to see in the photos is the cool semi transparent mother of pearl finish of the small dial faces and some of the trim. Because it is semi transparent, you can just make out some of the watch's inner workings. I thought looking at the layers of day and date dials was very cool.
This watch is the first in the world to use the SW 500 automatic watch engine movement. If you're a watch enthusiast, you probably know what that means. If not, trust me, it's pretty cool. If you turn the watch over, you have a crystal back inlaid in the stainless steel body that lets you see the mechanism working inside as well as the spinning counter balance that uses movement to spin the weight. This means that the watch literally winds up when you move your arm. It's quite fascinating to play with.
Despite being a big it is a beautifully made piece with large diamond inlaid 12 and 6 figures and small 4 clusters of diamonds for 1, 2 ,4, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 11 o'clock. There is no 6 or 3. The minutes are clearly marked though the thick dome crystal makes it difficult to accurately tell the minutes. You have to look closely to see exactly what time it is.
The leather strap fits the molding of the body perfectly and looks very stylish. The strap is leather partly to counter the weight of the watch. It has a very light buckle that I first thought was plastic. But if you look at it really closely you can tell that it's a lightly coated metal that makes a very sharp metallic sound.
I would highly recommend getting some protective treatment for the leather before you sweat through the strap too much. It's a gorgeous piece and the choice of leather is very comfortable, but, unless cared for, the leather will eventually dry out from the salt and moisture in your skin and crack.
One last note is that this watch is a real attention grabber. At first I felt it might be a little ostentatious to wear all the time but it has really grown on my husband and I after the initial surprise of the size wore off.
This watch is easy to set. There are three pronounced knobs on the right hand side. The top one starts and stops the stopwatch; the bottom one resets it; the center crown sets the calendar when you pull it half way, with month changing when you turn it anti clockwise and date when you turn it clockwise. Time is set when you pull it a second time and twist. All very smooth and precise, and just like you would expect from a watch of this quality.
Bottom line: this watch with its interesting, rugged styling can be a really special gift for the right person. I recommend it.

I've created a monster
I've always been the jewelry lover in our home. My husband quit wearing his high school ring by his freshman year in college, never got a college ring and wore the last watch I gave him (Fossil) only when I was looking. Once the battery died, the watch was never seen from again. In the years since that first watch, the only piece of jewelry he's ever worn was his wedding ring. This may be the piece of jewelry that changes everything. Despite the fact that the diamonds may add a little too much bling for his taste, he really likes this watch.
The band on this watch does not lay flat; it attaches at a curve. Neither of us had ever owned a watch with this type of band, so Mike was not sure how it would wear. It is a great design; the curve of the watch band makes sure that the watch will not twist while you wear it. When you put the watch on face up, you can assure that it will be in the same position at the end of the day. Not only is the shape of the watch functional, but comfortable as well.
This watch is self-winding, which is a great feature. If you happen to have a few lazy days or don't wear the watch for a while, you always have the option to wind it by hand. The really cool thing about the self-winding feature is the visual aspect on the back of the watch. The counterweight can be seen through the back of the watch, as can the watch gears. I can't express how cool this looks. Mike has actually taken the watch off several times to show people the gears in the back. It is a nice touch and shows off the great craftsmanship. There is something innately cool about seeing gears move on a watch, something that you won't get from a battery or quartz watch.
The face of the watch is a very thick convex glass. It makes for an interesting visual addition to the watch. I suspect the slight magnification out the outer edges is by design to make the diamonds appear a little larger than they actually are. I was actually really surprised by the size of the diamonds; usually when jewelry has decorative diamond accents of this style, you see more of the settings than the actual diamonds. This isn't the case with this watch. I was very surprised by the generous size of the diamonds. I wish the description gave a cttw in addition to the number (53) of diamonds.
There is a definite difference in the look and feel of a watch of this price and quality versus a less expensive watch. It is very heavy. Every care is taken in the smallest details of this watch. From the exquisite detailed stitching on the leather band to the beautiful mother of pearl dials, you can look at this watch and tell that it is a quality timepiece. With a watch like this, Mike does not have to "show" people his watch; they notice it on their own and ask him about it.
As for how well it keeps time, the first couple of weeks Mike wore it, he reset it to the second every morning and consistently found that is was with one or two seconds after 24 hours. Sometimes it ran slow, but usually it gained time. For anyone not familiar with this type of watch, this is exceedingly good timekeeping.
If I had any critique of the watch, it would be that the instruction book was a generic Invicta manual and warranty. For the cost of these watches, I would hope that the book would be specialized to my specific watch, not giving me information that may not apply to me. I can understand how this would be a lot of work for a company, and I guess more information is always better than not enough.
So now, when we stop by the jewelry store to get my stuff checked or cleaned, we linger a little longer while he looks at the nice watches. I think it's a good thing that he's cultivating a taste for fine jewelry.... as long as he doesn't outshine me! :2011-08-19 01:49:25
