The Invicta brand has gained popularity for a long time. All thanks to the ratio of price and quality, as well as a bright and bold design. But Invicta has models that resemble other famous watches. It just so happened that in the watch world everyone peeps the design of everyone, fully or partially copying, making their own changes.
Yes, the Invicta IN14382 model looks similar to the Rolex Daytona, but the existing features do not allow us to conclude that these are the same watch. There are differences. Let's talk about them.
What's in my chronograph for you?
Invicta IN14382 is a watch with a chronograph function or, in simpler terms, a stopwatch. But the chronograph here is not implemented in the most typical way. This is a feature of the Japanese Seiko TMI VD53B-14 quartz movement installed in the watch. The large second hand always moves, fulfilling its function. When the chronograph is started, the seconds are counted by the lower sub-dial, which is located in the area of the number six. What are the other two additional dials responsible for? The left one (near the number 9) shows the minutes that the chronograph has counted, and the right one (near the number 3) serves as an indication of the time of day. Thus, this dial does not take part in the life of the stopwatch. But you can not confuse day with night.
It remains to add that each of the additional dials is identified, that is, signed: min - minutes, sec - seconds, hour - hours.
Starting, stopping and resetting the chronograph is done in the same way as for most of the watches-brothers in the workshop: the top button is start / stop, the bottom one is reset to zero.
Case and bezel: steel and functionality
The case is made in a combined style, where both polished and satin elements merge into a single whole. This technique is used by many watch manufacturers. In this case, the sides of the case are polished and the upper parts of the lugs are satin-brushed. On the end surface of the case there is an inscription Invicta, which is the brand name of the manufacturer.
The bezel tachymeter allows the wearer to calculate the speed. This is not surprising, because the dial has the inscription Speedway. The bezel is not very wide, but it still won some space from the glass and dial. And if you consider that the diameter of the watch is 39,5 mm, then there is not so much space near the dial. Although the taste and color, as they say.
Dial: varies
From black to blue and back depending on the lighting. This is the principle of transmitting color by the dial.
The date window, which is located between the numbers 4 and 5, seems quite small. No, the date is visible. Yet the black inscription on a white background does its job. But I want a little more.
The harmony of marks and hands against the background of the color of the dial is visible even to the naked eye. In addition, in the dark, the hands and marks also tend to glow, as soon as the dial communicates a little with the light source.
Bracelet: classic, classic
A cast bracelet with a double clasp, one of which is without a push-button, is simple and uncomplicated. The central link pleases with brilliance, and on the sides its guards slightly fade in the form of not so shiny surfaces. When worn, the bracelet may make rattling sounds, but they do not go beyond the rules. And more from the bracelet is not required. The main thing is that it fits well on the wrist.
Yes, the Invicta IN14382 is similar to the Rolex Daytona. But at the same time, it is an independent watch with its own characteristics and advantages.
