This automatic men’s timepiece has stainless steel construction,
including a unidirectional bezel, a fold-over-clasp-with-safety, and a
43-millimeter case with a screw-down skeleton exhibition back. The black
dial is magnified with an anti-reflective mineral crystal dial window
and features a date display at the three o’clock and Tritnite luminous
hands and markers. This luxurious two-tone, shock-resistant watch is
also water resistant to 660 feet.
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.
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).
