Grand Diver Men's Automatic Watch

I researched this watch for my Christmas treat to myself after I watched a lot of Invicta videos on the Grand Diver range. I've never ever considered an automatic watch or the Invicta brand before but the stand out looks of this model caught my eye. Upon receiving and wearing this Grand Diver I was not disappointed with this timepiece, I just love the yellow coloured face dial and the smooth movement of the second hand, it's a chunky design which suits a real divers watch look and I also purchased when it was at a super low price! The 'Invicta' and 'Grand Diver' side case inscriptions plus the divers helmet branding on the face and stainless steel watch band makes this a stand out piece of timekeeping beauty, the price was a third cheaper than some of the bigger branded automatics so it wasn't too much of a hit to the wallet. The large diameter and height doesn't look out of place on my slim 7" sized wrist. Suprisingly it's very comfortable to wear and doesn't feel too heavy even after a long day of use. This divers watch is presented in a nice large yellow ripple shell padded case with warranty and instructions and it keeps an acceptable good time, the one I received gains a few seconds a day but I knew that automatics can either lose or gain time. If you don't wear the watch for more than two days then it will stop, so you do have to wind it a good 25 to 30 times with the crown unscrewed just to make it run for another day. I will never really use this watch for diving to three hundred metres, but for every day use it's a real 'looker' and I just love wearing it.

I have been a fan of Invicta Watches for many years now having purchased their 8926OB (Homage to the Submariner) version some 7 or so years ago from Amazon. In those days the Invicta’s were shipped from the USA which incurred Customs Handling Fees (albeit reimbursed by the seller at that time). Now Amazon are able to provide Prime Next Day Delivery Service on these watches. I was looking through Amazon’s range of Invicta watches when I saw the Grand Diver. I like large watches and this is a really large (49 mm), heavy watch. I went for the black dial version with the green bezel which was being sold for a very competitive price. The green is not normally a colour I would choose but I felt like being a bit different. The watch was delivered Next Day and well packaged by Amazon. I have to say, Invicta have really done a great deal to up their game-plan with their latest watch range. The watch comes in Invicta’s classic yellow textured clam snap case which is blistered packaged for protection-security. Opening the case reveals a yellow suede effect interior, Membership Card, Warranty Booklet, extended Warranty offer and the Watch itself with the Invicta Swing Tag. The watch is beautifully covered with protective plastic on the bracelet, watch face and the exhibition back. Having removed the protective plastic, I was left with an absolutely stunning looking watch, which has serious presence on the wrist and I absolutely love the green bezel. The case and bracelet are beautifully machined with a combination of polished & satin finishes. The overall build quality of the watch case and bracelet is fabulous. The watch has an excellent Lumen on all 3 hands, bezel ref Dot and hour markers. The cyclops lens does a great job, magnifying the date, even for my eyes. The exhibition back allows you to see the movement. What I really like is Invicta have moved from the 21 Jewel Miyota movement to the 24 Jewel Seiko NH35A (SII) movement. The NH35A is a much nicer looking movement enhanced by the yellow Self-Winding Rotor on which is written stylised information about the movement. Timekeeping of this watch has been really impressive and much, much better than the Miyota movement in my Pro Diver 8926OB. I like the stylised second hand with the Invicta logo and the applied name and logo on the watch dial. Although not everyone’s cup of tea, I do like the Invicta name engraved into the polished case side and the name, Grand Diver, engraved either side of the Screw Down Crown. If there is one issue I have, it’s the Screw-Down Crown. The thread quality when screwing the Crown back down is rough / not smooth and care must be taken to not to cross thread the crown which can cause it to bind. I have tried to address this issue by using a miniscule amount of special clock grease on the thread (mindful of rubber seals). The grease has made a slight improvement. As I liked the Seiko NH35A (SII) movement so much, I purchased a new Invicta Pro Diver 8926OB to replace my older version fitted with the Miyota movement. All three watches exhibit the same Screw-Down Crown issues described. I also have to agree with other reviewers who state the Bezel is very difficult to turn. The bezel is really tight, not helped by the use of the scalloped edge, rather than the alternative coin edge (OB). That said, it has loosened up slightly, with continued usage. In conclusion, this is a very large, heavy, visually stunning watch, which keeps excellent time whilst representing amazing value for money at the price I paid compared to its current price. Add to this the 300M-1000ft Water Resistance and you have an impressive Diving watch.

I love invicta as a brand, especially their automatic watches with a qualityy Seiko movement. This one, the Grand Diver with a bright yellow face is a really handsome looking watch, and great quality too. I have only worn it a few times so far but have had several positive comments already. Be aware though, it is a big, heavy watch! It is not subtle but if you don't mind that, it is well worth thinking about if you want a very smart and well made automatic watch.

£85 for an automatic watch thats accurate feels very solid and very comfortable on the wrist. Its a big watch but on my wrist with two links removed it sits nice and does not feel uncomfortable at all, the braclet is solid with a good clasp and solid end links the watch itself has a very positive click rotating bezel with no play, screw down crown is nice and smooth also. The Lume is OK but doesnt last that long being about the only real negative atm, on the wrist the engravings on the case (i am not a fan of them) they almost become invisible and it does not look too tacky by any means. Overall a very solid and well built watch that is keeping superb time and at the current price for the blue model its a steal and the pictures on amazon do not really do it justice. I like my divers watches and own Seiko/Tag/Omega/Citizen and tbh i did not think i would be keeping the Invicta but its going nowhere except on my wrist..check one out and if you ignore the watch snobs i am sure you will be very pleased you did. In summery yes its big but its comfortable to wear and its solid. (not tested the water resistance and like most it will not be used for diving, i just like this style of watch).

Gostei de tudo nele ótimo acabamento, todo em aço inoxidável comprarei outros com certeza.

Öncelikle görselde her yeri mor gibi gözüküyor ama değil beze kısmı mavi içi mor.ama en kötüsü ise arka tarafı sarı olarak gösterilmiş ama bana gelende böyle bir şey yok üzücü

This is my 3rd Invicta. I first got onto them with a $99 special that I loved the quality of. Back then I wasn’t savvy enough to check the seconds lost or gained per day before unwrapping the watch from packaging. I was just lucky. Was lucky on this 3rd one as well. It looks really good, weighs enough that you know it’s on your wrist and something I haven’t seen in many reviews on watches but comfort is important since it’s going to be in your body the good part of your waking hours. This watch fits my wrist well and really comfortable to wear. I was lucky in that this one gains about 4 sec a day. That good as after a week I just hack the second hand to stop it and let real time catch up. My movement is enough to keep it wound up. The glass has scratched once but it’s small and not noticeable. So it’s not sapphire crystal quality but for $159 I am amazed at the value. I’ve taken into the sea a few times and it’s water tight. Just swimming and splashing about. I rinsed it immediately afterwards at the beach rinse off taps. The bracelet is durable and looks good. Easy to adjust to size (2 links off one side and 1 link off other for me - see pic). It has scratched a minor bit around clasp but the main body of the watch is still pristine (after about 3 weeks). At the end of the day it’s my EDC. If 2 of my family members have commented on it then that’s notable! I have to many watches already but if it came up at this price again - I’d buy another one as a gift!

A lovely dress watch - one of my go to's for special occasions. Quite heavy on the wrist though so not my daily driver.

Soy entusiasta de la horología, tengo varios Seikos y Tag Heuers, Citizen, etc. Mis comentarios serán lo mas objetivos posibles. Un gran reloj a un precio increíble, la calidad con la que está construido, así como también los materiales, son de primera. Sin duda parece un reloj muchísimo mas costoso. Además es muy preciso, -1 un segundo al día, que para ser un reloj mecánico automático es algo espectacular. Por el tema de la resistencia al agua, sin problemas, se ha sumergido en albercas y el mar, sin contratiempos, y próximamente tengo planeado usarlo en buceo recreativo, a profundidades de 120 - 140 pies, obviamente esperamos un buen desempeño. Las cosas malas, el bisel, aunque tiene un accionamiento adecuado, y está bien alineado, tiene un poco de juego, algo no muy grave, pero no debería tenerlo. El lumen que tiene aplicado en los indices y en las manecillas, no es muy bueno que digamos, dura un par de horas cuando mucho, y aunque es mucho mejor que el del invicta Prodiver, no debemos olvidar que el inconveniente del lumen débil, es algo que afecta a todos los relojes de la marca. El reloj es grande y pesado, esto debe tomarse en consideración, pues en algunos casos de muñecas muy delgadas, podría lucir desproporcionado. La conclusion, es altamente recomendable.
