Amazon.com Product Description
This Invicta stainless steel men's chronograph watch wonderfully blends classic timepiece design with a contemporary edge. The textured off-white dial face features angular minute indexes in black mixed with Arabic numerals, as well as two black-outlined chronograph subdials in the center of the dial. The large, round silver stainless steel watch case measures 52mm (2.05 inches) wide with the oversized, grooved crown. It also has Tritnite luminous black-outlined hands (with seconds hand) and a unique date window at three o'clock that displays a range of three dates. Other features include a supple black leather strap with white contrast stitching, scratch-resistant mineral crystal with anti-reflective coating and water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet)--suitable for scuba diving.
Tritnite is a luminous material with an extended glow exclusively developed by Invicta in Switzerland and added to their timepiece hands and markers. When exposed to regular daylight, it will hold its glow for about 20 hours.
About InvictaLatin for "invincible," Invicta was founded in La Chaux-de-fonds, Switzerland in 1837 by Raphael Picard, who believed that fine Swiss timepieces could be offered at modest prices. For more than a century, the company has created distinctive manual and automatic-winding pieces. In 1991, descendants of the Picard family reaffirmed the company's founding principle, and the invigorated Invicta has been growing ever since with one of the most widely diverse collections of precise Swiss timepieces on the market.
Most Helpful Customer Reviews
I didn't pay very close attention when I bought this. I thought the style was cool, and that the watch would be a normally sized one (I wasn't paying attention to the specs). To say that I was surprised that it was so huge is an understatement. The heft of it on my wrist is huge - more of a "wristclock" than a "wristwatch". I was so surprised by the hugeness of it that I kept asking my daughter (who is 16) whether I should return it.
After a while, though, and some wearing, I realized that this ludicrously huge watch is also ludicrously nice. It's obviously well-built and definitely has a style that stands out. I certainly will NOT be returning this one!
My advice: If you don't want to attract attention with your watch, for God's sake don't buy this watch. However, if you want something distinctive that looks like it will last forever, this is the watch for you!
Update (40 days later): I still like the look of the watch, but the stopwatch feature now resets to two seconds rather than to zero seconds. A little thing, I know, but it kind of defeats the purpose of a stopwatch to be two seconds off.
