Invicta Pro Diver Stainless Steel Men's Automatic Watch - 40mm

Product Information

OB” stands for “original bezel,” which is the coin-edge (Rolex-Style) bezel, so the 8926OB and 9937OB would have those. Coupled with the limited supply, there is bound to be a discrepancy between those that want this watch and those that can have it. Key distinguishing difference between them and your standard knock-off is the actual branding which will sound vaguely prestigious and, more importantly, allow them to be sold on the open market.

It’s nice to know also that the president of the Invicta watch group is actually a third generation watchmaker himself.These values are all well, well within the manufacturer tolerances for the NH35A movement, and it’s nice that the watch is a bit fast, rather than slow, because it makes re-setting easier.

Cyclops only has a 1,5x magnification and makes you wonder why they didn’t just leave it or go for a no-date version. Its stainless steel case and bracelet exude durability and elegance, making it suitable for any occasion. In conclusion, the Invicta Pro Diver 8926OB is a remarkable watch that combines style, functionality, and affordability. The application is inconsistent between the markers and also the hands so they appear to be slightly different colors.

I moved on and Doxa thanks to the Dirk Pitt novels really started me all over in the hobby and straight in the trash the Invictas went not before I joyfully took them to the gun range for target practice. However, what makes my heart beat faster and what I really appreciate in a watch is the automatic movement. Being blunt, if you want to dive with a watch (like actually dive), I’d suggest getting something else that’s actually tested and rated for robust dive conditions.

Please note: Material straps including, leather, textile and rubber straps are generally adjustable using a folding buckle or clasp. The reason you’re looking for a Sub case is because you want a Sub case – not a brand’s interpretative spin on one. I really enjoyed reading your review of the 40mm Invicta Submariner homage and feel that most all of your comments are spot on. Its sleek design, reliable performance, and affordability make it a standout choice in the Invicta Pro Diver collection. In fact, rbesass in the forums has gone on to make a new run of gilt dials, perfect for pairing with a Black Bay homage case (not the 8926OB) and gilt snowflake hands.I’ve bought an Oris (mid market) in which the crown keep falling off, and its got a cheap plastic face which has cracked, so tend these days to remove the brand name and look at ‘ does it do what I want it to’. For example, another highly appreciated version is the Invicta 8928OB, which comes with a blue dial, golden center links, bezel, and crown. General opinions from other watch collectors and reviewers regarding the Invicta Pro Diver 8926OB are overwhelmingly positive. I’ve had one of these strapped to the outside of my ski patrol vest via a NATO for 3 years now, skiing about 20 times a year in MN cold.

I own the Invicta Men’s Pro Diver 42mm Stainless Steel Automatic Watch, Silver (Model: 29178) and it has become quite special to me. Our simple to use watch sizing guide allows you to measure the size of your wrist from the comfort of your own home. Being the company who is meticulous when it comes to the case construction, Invicta is recognized as masters of case complications. Prefer the big crown trend of a year or two ago, where everyone was making Rolex 6538-inspired homages?

This one has a 48mm casing diameter and a 17mm thickness, again it’s pretty huge and chunky and I know some people love the Invicta brand for their bigger watches. The watch strap is a standard fold over clasp with a fold over safety as seen in one of the images below. However for me it’s not a deal breaker because I understand why the markers are small – smaller markers means less lume. Furthermore, I rarely find myself reading the time in the dark, so for me, the luminosity is not as coveted a feature as for many others. However, the SKX007 has a slightly smaller case size at 42mm compared to the Pro Diver's 40mm, which may appeal to those with smaller wrists.
