InvictaMen's 18160 Pro Diver Analog Display Japanese Automatic Silver Watch

LOVE THIS MODEL OF INVICTA!!! HAS THE CASE & MOVEMENT OF A $500 TO $800 WATCH EASY!
i love these invicta divers that have either the citizen miyota auto movements in them or the incredible seiko NH35 auto hacking. if you look at numerous quality auto watches these days, both high capacity divers and military, you will find that if not swiss they will be using the NH35 seiko movement in them. it's incredible...most people find it keeps time as accurately as a chronometer, or nearly so. if regulated by a watchmaker, this movement will match the accuracy of a swiss chronometer. i've had that famous swiss brand that was the original Bond watch, and can tell you.so much for the movement. this grand diver is not the snorkeling sport watch invicta, which is a great piece you can usually get for just under $100. this one has the 300 meter/1000ft dive resistance, so it is indeed scuba/dive worthy. the case quality on these grand divers is superlative. again, you'll think you got one of those original Bond watches. looks wise too. invicta does not do a knock off of that iconic original Bond watch, but they have created what in the industry is called an 'homage' watch, which captures the essentials of the original, with a few styling differentials that are minor but make the piece not a knock off. rather, a style or type. and in fact rolex took their submariner watch from blancpain's 50s fathoms watch in the 50s, so don't let it get to you that this invicta has a similar style to another famous brand. that's watches.just know this is of the highest specifications for a timepiece that you could get for under $1500. and that pricepoint is not inflated. i've had plenty of swiss, as well as seikos, and this piece has one of the best seiko movements in it with a case construction equal to many seikos and mid-to-higher end swiss.i've about 3 of these in different styles. one with a cool wood dial. another i left on the bracelet (and this is one heck of a bracelet, with solid end links), and this one i just took off the bracelet and put on a commando strap with a bund back...very commando, Mr. Bond. it looks superb.everything else is great. the unidirectional bezel, solid and precise, screw in crown. hacking movement. ez set date. at $300, which is what they often sell these grand divers for, it's a no brainer. but if you look you can pick these up for at least 30% off, as i did here on amazon. you will not go wrong.NOTE: you hear fools talk about how their watches fogged up when they took them in the shower, or didn't keep accurate time when they wore it for a few hours a day. these people are dangerous to other watch enthusiasts. you never take a watch into a shower or hot tub, the heat expands the case and when it cools you will have H20 in your watch. ANY watch. and this is an auto watch...even the finest swiss chronometers will lose time if you wear it at your desk all day, or have it on for only a few hours. knocks on this xlnt timepiece like that are foolish.i'd get this right now if i were you. i'm me, and have 3 of these in other colors/dials already, and i got it. i love it.

Great watch for the price!
I have several good quality watches but did not have an automatic, so ordered this Invicta based on reviews. I am very pleased with the watch. and it is now one of my favorites. The quality of workmanship and materials plus appearance are what you would expect in a much more expensive watch. Invicta watches are traditionally large and heavy, sometimes too much so, but his one is just right, having a fairly large face, solid weight and feel, yet the band is surprisingly comfortable. The watch looks good with just about any type of clothing. Additionally, most watches have too small of a date feature to easily read, but not this one! The design of the face makes it easy to tell the time and date at a glance! Something else I thought was impressive is that when I took it out of the box, with just that little amount of movement it immediately started running and has continued to do so without stopping. There was never any need to turn my wrist back and forth to get it to run or keep it running. I haven't yet determined how long it can run without wearing it because I haven't really taken if off except for overnight. It keeps excellent time as well. This is one of the best products I have ever purchased for the amount spent.

It defeated my super power!!! When it die's I'll replace it with another Invicta just like it.
I love this watch and I'm currently looking to buy another Invicta Diver in Gold for when I wear my suit or take the wife out to a party or company Christmas dinner.I love wearing watches. So much more convenient then taking out your cell phone to check the time. However I went through 3 very good watches in less than a year.To begin this review you have to understand up front that I have VERY acidic sweat. Yes, THIS IS MY SUPER POWER!If a watch is anything less than Stainless Steel the case will start to deteriorate (even brass). I have permanently stained silver rings to a dull dark grey. Only gold, tungsten, and marine grade Stainless Steel seem to be unaffected.If a watch doesn't have an excellent seal, within 3 months the acid from my skin will seep into the watch and destroy it. Not only will it cause a watch to fail, it will cause the seal on the watch battery to fail.I was willing to spend up to $300 on a good watch, but jewelers cautioned me that the watch seal could still fail and a high end watch company may not cover this kind of damage.So I chose the Invicta Grand Driver for about $100. I figured if this watch failed I'd learned my lesson and stop wearing watches. My hope was the seal would hold up and a dive watch would have a truly stainless steel case and band all around.I have been wearing this same Invicta watch every day for the last few years, and NEVER had a single problem.Out of the box it lost about 30 seconds a week, and is still the same since. That is about the best you can expect for an Automatic watch of any price. So once a month I adjust the time ahead by about 2 minutes.I have not babied this watch in any way. Since this is my daily wear watch it has taken a beating. I have banged it into doorknobs, walls, scratched it on the street crawling under the car. Yes, it shows some wear. The crystal is chipped. The bezel has about 6 slight scratches. The watch band needs to be buffed and polished.Despite obvious wear that comes with a daily wear watch, to this day I have strangers stop me when I'm out and tell me they like my watch.I still shower and swim with it and have never taken it in for a cleaning or maintenance.This will continue to be my daily wear watch. Like I said in the headline, when it die's I'll replace it with another Invicta just like it.
