Invicta Men's 0420 Pro Diver Automatic Black Dial Titanium Watch

People often bash Invicta, not knowing that some of the Invicta watch lines are extraordinary, in particular the Pro-Diver Grand Diver series. This one is a Pro-Diver, not a Grand Diver. This so-called dive watch is rated at 200 meters. Even if, by chance, it is over-rated, it will at least pass the 100 meter test, which means it can swim and snorkel without worry. Recommendation: Don't take it diving to save your life. Buy a thousand dollar watch and have a diving computer with you. This model does have a screw-down crown. If you have silicon grease, then take a toothpick and coat the threads. Do this for every watch with a screw-down crown. If you have the tools, then remove the case-back and grease those threads as well. This model is made of titanium, both the case and half the bracelet parts. It weighs 120 grams including the bracelet, which makes it one of the lightest metal-case watches in my collection. It is positively my lightest watch with a metal bracelet. The 20mm lug width means I can change the bracelet to almost anything that I want. The case is 14.3mm thick. When I first received it, the bezel was too stiff to turn easily. I put a piece of silicon into the palm of my hand and rotated the bezel about a hundred times. It softened considerably and now turns like silk. The registration on the hands and bezel are spot on. Registration has to do with the accuracy of the marker placements on the dial and bezel. I calibrate all of my automatics when I receive them. Over the course of a week, I check the time against an atomic source, two or three times a day. I then plot the data onto a spreadsheet. The Seiko NH35 movement in this model performs as well as other Seikos movement watches that I have at several times the price. With the Seiko motor, my Invicta runs a little over six seconds a day. This is not only acceptable, it is spectacular for a hundred-dollar automatic watch. It hacks, hand-winds, and self-winds. The luminosity is not great. When hit with a bright light, it illuminates evenly and is readable for about three or four hours in the dark. After that, the faint glow is not bright enough for my eyes. The bezel is not illuminated except for the pip. If that is a deal-breaker for you, then you will miss out on the other great qualities of this wrist watch. The watch is good looking with contrasting grey, black and chrome. It can be worn with jeans as well as a tuxedo. It weighs very little, can go swimming, and keeps time like a Seiko. Because it is not expensive, it can be worn everyday without worrying about scratches. (I have scuffed the bracelet, but not the crystal). It is durable enough to bring on vacation because it can go swimming. And nobody is going to rob you for your Invicta.

I had been looking for a titanium automatic divers watch for some time. As the owner of several Omega watches, naturally I looked at the Seamaster, but the price was a bit out of my reach. I happened upon this Invicta watch purely by chance during an Amazon search, and so I figured I'd take a chance on it. What the heck....with a Father's day discount code, it came to under $90! How could I lose? When it arrived it came well packaged in the usual Invicta yellow box. It's very much a copy of the Submariner, right down to the magnifier over the date. It's all titanium construction means that it is a VERY light watch. It's nearly as light as a similar sized resin case watch. The display back was a nice touch, and showed off the Seiko NH35A movement. After sizing the titanium bracelet, I began to use it as my daily wear watch. I realize the NH35 is no chronometer, but a check against an atomic clock showed a variance of only +2 seconds after 3 days of not so gentle wear. Very surprising. I did realize after a while that if I allowed it to become a bit run down, it began to lose time, but never more than a few seconds a day. All in all, it was an awesome value for the money. Yes I realize it's no Omega, nor did I expect it to be for the price. It's attractive, light on the wrist, comfortable to wear, durable (so far) and keeps very good time, and does it all for an affordable price. What more could you want?

I own a lot of watches - none very expensive - no Rolexes or Omegas. I get more compliments on this watch than all the others combined. The classic diver face is - well - classic. The clear back showing the movement is neat-o. The shiny and dull two-tone titanium finish is - well - that's what turns the heads. From the bartender to the guy at the car wash, everyone who's interested in watches wants a second look. I love this watch. It keeps very good time when it's being worn, but goes fast when sitting on the dresser or nightstand. It's large enough to grab attention but not clownish. And I think it's a steal for what you get - a Seiko movement with titanium case and band. Surprisingly light for the size - titanium is a third the weight of stainless - awesome. The INVICTA bas-relief on the side - again - draws attention without being too gaudy or overstated. Love this watch.

Escribo esta opinión dos años después de haber adquirido este reloj para no sólo escribir sobre mis primeras impresiones. Básicamente el reloj es una joya, tiene un desempeño excepcional, aun siendo un reloj mecánico su precisión está en más o menos 1 segundo al día. Se encuentra a la altura de dos cronómetros oficiales certificados (COSC) que poseo, un MIDO y un TISSOT ambos con maquinaria ETA con reserva de 80 horas. El diseño es muy bonito aunque sea una copia barata de un Rolex, es muy ligero y resistente y la hermeticidad es espectacular. Lo he usado en el mar y no lo he ni enjuagado ya que la corona es atornillable y el titanio no sufre de la corrosión por el agua salada. Aunque no me gustan muchísimo los relojes INVITA este es sin lugar a dudas una excelentísima compra.

I own many watches, Tissots and Citizens, All my Tissots are high end with Automatic movement and the Citizens are ECO Drive and Atomic. I also own a large collection of Casio G-Shock all Solar powered. I took a decision never to own a battery operated watch that needs replacement. I don't want to open any of my watches if I don't have to. I wear the Tissots and Citizens at work (Business Casual) and the Casios on the weekends. I started to shift from Casios with their military look and was looking for a metal bracelet watch for the weekend. Came across Invicta and didn't know much about it. I watched and read many reviews on line and decided to buy the Pro Diver Titanium. The Delivery was very fast and was in perfect brand new condition as advertised. I was shocked with how well made this watch is. It looked great!!. Light weight because of the Titanium bracelet. The watch looks way more expensive that the price I paid for it. It is fairly large and looked great on my medium size rest. I adjusted the time based on my Atomic Citizen and I'm glad to say that it gained a few seconds only in one week! This is excellent for an automatic watch and on par with my other high end Tissots. It has a Japanese made movement that is manufactured by Seiko. I'm so impressed with Invicta and seriously considering buying another one with a stainless steel bracelet this time. I started selling most of my Casios and Invicta is going to be my new weekend watches. I highly recommend this watch, it has an excellent value and you are getting a lot of watch for your money.

Je possède deux autres Invicta Pro Diver, une 40mm automatique, et une 43mm à quartz, toutes deux en acier. Cette 0420 en titane possède une finition nettement supérieure. Comme pour les autres références achetées ici que j'ai également évalué (23678 & 22020) je maintiens que ces montre présentent suffisamment d'éléments qui diffèrent de leur inspiration pour ne pas plonger la tête la première dans la case "hommage". Dans le cas de la 0420, il y a pour commencer le diamètre, 45mm à la lunette. Présence et lisibilité bien supérieures à une Submariner de 40mm. L'intégralité du boitier est en titane sablé, un matériau que la marque à la couronne n'a jamais proposé sur sa plongeuse. Certains éléments, tels que la couronne et la lunette, ont volontairement été exécutés en acier poli. Le contraste avec le titane est saisissant et réussi. La lunette, avec son insert en aluminium brillant noir, est également propre à ce modèle. Le fond de boite est transparent, laissant apercevoir le NH35A, sur lequel je reviendrai plus bas. Une véritable plongeuse 200M avec un fond transparent, ça n'est pas commun. Je n'ai pas eu la fameuse masse oscillante jaune, simplement un élément brossé engravé "TMI" "NH35A" "TWENTY-FOUR JEWELS". Je préfère, car je trouve que cela colle davantage à l'esprit toolwatch monochrome de cette 0420 qu'un rotor jaune pétant. Le bracelet est médiocre, bien que 100% titane. Les mid-links brillants ne sont pas en titane poli, c'est simplement de la peinture chrome sur le même titane sablé et ça jure énormément. J'ai immédiatement déposé ce bracelet pas à la hauteur de la montre pour un élément en silicone supérieur en confort & finition. Cette Pro Diver 0420 est l'une des rares montres qui a plus d'allure sans son bracelet en métal d'origine. L'utilisation de la lunette est facile et agréable, avec un clic satisfaisant et aucun défaut d'alignement. Sur mes autres Pro Diver en acier, il fallait se munir de WD40 pour espérer faire tourner la chose. Je ne sait pas si j'ai eu de la chance ou si Invicta a véritablement amélioré cet élément pour ce modèle. Là où j'ai eu de la chance, en revanche, c'est au niveau du mouvement. Le 4R35,ou NH35 quand vendu à et utilisé par d’autres marques que Seiko (comme ici) est un mouvement fiable, sorti par Seiko en 2011. Bien qu’annoncé par seiko avec une dérive monstrueuse de 45 secondes par jour, il n’en est rien. La plupart des 4R35 emboités se révèlent tout aussi précis (et plus fiables) qu’un 2824/SW200/9015. Ma 0420 fut réglée le 03/05/25 à 12h20, et au moment ou j’écris ces lignes le 07/05/25 à 18h42, la montre n’avance que de 2 malheureuses secondes. C’est tout simplement hallucinant et cela pulvérise tous les standards suisses chronométriques (COSC, METAS, SUPERLATIVE…) en matière de précision y compris celui utilisé par la marque à la couronne (-2/+2 secondes par jour). En revanche, il ne s’agit ici que de chance pure et il n’y a aucune garantie que votre 0420 aura un 4R35 aussi précis. Il faut donc le savoir avant d’acheter. Je recommande donc cette montre, avec un bon bracelet en silicone ou FKM. C’est une toolwatch fiable, esthétique, précise (dans mon cas) et polyvalente.

Ótimo relógio funcionamento perfeito eu indico com certeza

Non è tra i modelli più riusciti dal punto di vista estetico, è un po' sproporzionato: la ghiera è grande rispetto al quadrante, a mio parere. Però il tutto è compensato ampiamente dal fatto di avere un orologio completamente in titanio ad un prezzo basico! Leggero, anallergico (la lega di titanio non contiene né cromo né nickel), di un bel colore! A proposito del colore, noterete che si presenta di un grigio un po' fosco, tendente allo scuro (nelle parti satinate): io l'ho lavato con acqua e abbondante sapone di marsiglia per due o tre volte (dopo essermi assicurato di avere chiuso bene la corona!).... Ebbene, un cambiamento impressionante! come avere un altro orologio. Col tempo scurirà di nuovo....? Vedremo! p.s. Dimenticavo: il mio fa +6 secondi al giorno... Non male! P.s. Ne ho preso un altro. Era in offerta su Amazon Warehouse: 79 euro, perche' ha un piccolo graffio sul lato posteriore della cassa.... Felice di averlo acquistato. Per 79 euro non si riesce nemmeno ad acquistare un cinturino in titanio...........
