My first “conscious” watch was an Invicta. Yes, yes, if it weren’t for them, I would never have recognized any other watches. My acquaintance with the watch world began 17 years ago, with an Invicta watch as a gift from my friend. I remember the first time I experienced this intoxicating feeling of touching something beautiful. At that moment, it seemed to me that everyone was looking at my watch, and I myself would certainly stand out from the crowd and look like “a kind of Spaniard” with the most expensive watch.
At the same time, I began to slowly immerse myself in the topic, and among the faceless, gray (for me at that time) mass of the watch world, shapes and silhouettes, brands, mechanisms, straps, manufacturers, styles began to emerge... The watch world became colored with a rich variety. In a word, it acquired clarity, became tangible and interesting, captivating and captivating me more and more...
I must say that I surrendered to this journey without resistance, realizing that it was limitless. And to this day I enjoy this beautiful and crazy world.
Invicta is a brand that absolutely does not need advertising. A 200% Swiss manufacturer with almost XNUMX years of history and headquarters in Florida. According to the manufacturer, they have two of their own manufactories: watches with the “Swiss made” marking on the dial and/or back cover are assembled in Switzerland, with or without other markings - in Florida. This is not surprising, because previously the main sales market was America, and a product with poor quality simply would not have survived there, since Americans are very, very picky about the quality of the products they consume.
Not to mention, many American celebrities love, wear and advertise Invicta watches. Among them, for example, Arnold Schwarzenegger. He has more than ten different Invicta models in his watch set and wears them with pleasure. That's basically all you need to know about the brand.
I have owned many different Invicta models and one thing I can say is that they are very thoughtful in their design and quality of materials used. Invicta has a streamlined process from designing layouts to manufacturing technologies and build quality. When you pick up an Invicta watch, you immediately feel that this is a quality product.
The same applies to the Invicta Pro Diver 30956 we are reviewing. A great take on the Rolex Submariner theme. Case - 43 mm, surgical stainless steel (hypoallergenic), polished on the sides, but brushed on top: scratches will pass by.
Brutal embossed “Invicta” inscription on the end of the case. Reliable Japanese quartz caliber, precise movement. The glass is anti-reflective Flame Fusion Crystal with a magnifying glass above the date (mineral glass tempered using patented technology, which, according to the manufacturer, makes it no less durable than sapphire glass). None of my Invicta watches have had a single scratch on the crystal in many years.
Arrows and markers with Tritnite Glow light accumulator, which shines much brighter and longer than phosphor and luminescent ones. Rotating unidirectional bicolor bezel, which does not visually overload the watch, but creates an interesting accent. The dial in a laconic style (Black Matte) is decorated along the perimeter with a sea wave pattern.
Professional diver - water protection 100 meters: swim, dive with confidence. Everything is fair, the back cover is threaded, as is the transfer head.
As always, the signature die-cast bracelet with diver's clasp fits perfectly on the wrist.
Conclusion: Invicta is a thoughtful, high-quality product with a diverse and very original design, which, by the way, has very successfully protected itself from counterfeits. There are, of course, watches in the style of other manufacturers' bestsellers (Rolex, Omega, etc.), but unlike many other companies, Invicta has official franchises to use the design and is not someone else's knockoff.
They produce many models: from very budget to very expensive. There are also lines created in collaboration with famous world designers and artists. In my opinion, in the middle price segment they can give a head start to many other “classmates”. This is the case when it is better to buy than to “bite off your nails up to your elbows” later.
PS The watch world is beautiful in its diversity, each watch is good in its own way.
Remember that a watch is not only practically the only male accessory, but also part of your harmonious, positive, confident attitude.
