you get what you pay for. First the facts: A men's watch divers in style with a robust stainless steel housing and a solid stainless steel bracelet. Inside an automatic movement of Japanese origin works. In Detail: 1. The steel case has a diameter of 40mm However, this is now more delicate, for schmächtigere arms a good choice, because it looks Stimming 2. The housing base is glazed and bolted If you use the clock, you have very little of it, not much can be seen anyway. The rotor is labeled, the work rather plain. 3. The crown is screwed and thus ensures a safe feeling because you can not accidentally drag and so can not go unnoticed penetrate water 4. The bezel is so stiff that they practically can not operate! I do not get it anyway. 5. The luminous efficiency of markers and hands Well, that's at best a "sufficient" 6. The watch is mineral glass with glued date magnifier Magnifying effect of the magnifying glass can only be guessed, to the magnifying glass is glued slightly awry 7. The bracelet fit with 20mm Band lug width for this clock. The links are solid, the offense is made of metal, the buckle is of relatively thin sheet metal, without safety catch, without oppressors to unlock plus sharp. So it makes no fun! When speisung alimentation of the bracelet you can feel every time the sharp edge and angry about the cheap appearance of the buckle. 8. The Movement A bidirectional winding automatic movement caliber 35NH SII with manual winding way and stop seconds. This is definitely in this price range - pretty good (80 90). 9. resilience Stainless steel, screwed back, screw-down crown, test pressure 20 bar - there should be as fast happen. 10. Optics The design takes very strong bonds with a well-known Swiss manufacturer. This begins with the fluting and classification of the bezel, goes beyond the date magnifier, dial design and lettering and housing size and ends in the shaping and the bracelet design.
Ok, is a matter of taste. Anyone who buys this clock, would very probably like those optical proximity. However, I feel the appearance of these Invicta 8926OB as too intrusive. Please forgive me if I use the term Kirmesuhr. Please do not get me wrong, this clock is not inferior! It is definitely worth your 80 - only one should not come into the vicinity of a watch connoisseur as drifts this "tribute" that wants to pretend to be more than it is, very quickly into embarrassing. She sparkles a little bit too much, the engraved logo on the left side of the case does not make it better.
Who would like to use this clock as a workhorse and puts on these special optics value for which it is no disappointment. But then also the favorable quartz variant would be enough, because that is visually the same and a battery clockwork is ultimately more frugal.
For me, the anger over the fixed bezel and some movement dropouts was too big - I have returned the clock. Perhaps the Invicta had more chances, I would not have bought the Gigandet Sea Ground G2 previously. Although has the simpler Miyota factory seconds without stop with the non-uniform current second hand, but the touch is noticeably better. Yet independent from design is the famous Orient Deep Sea or Ray. Whih, however feels the arm to be much better.
What also disturbs me about the Invicta, is the pricing policy of trade. You will be offered at astronomical prices and then sold as a bargain. The clock is definitely not worth 300, lacks consultation, service, repair.
Conclusion: You can buy, but you do not! Alternatives better quality there of Parnis, Steinhart, Davosa (in this order also increases the price)
