Invicta Pro Diver 0420 Men's Watch - Waterproof - Analogue - Automatic Movement - titanium with black dial - 45mm - titanium

If you want an automatic diver style titanium watch, you cannot go far wrong with this watch from Invicta. Watch fanatics and purists will probably not like this review, but if you just want a good quality for the money timepiece, read on. OK this is a homage watch that looks very similar to the Rolex Submariner with the Mercedes hands and date window, but it has a manual wind hackable movement from Seiko in the NH35A that keeps good time; my example is averaging less than +4 second a day over a 14 day period, that is as good as some very expensive movements out there. The finish of the case is sand blasted and is perfect, the case back has an exhibition window to see the movement and the unidirectional bezel is a 120 click very precise rotation, but is a little on the stiff side; this will probably get a little looser in time. All of the indacies have been applied and have a silver edging to them that looks very well executed and I love the Invicta wings on the second hand. The bracelet is titanium and of reasonable quality, I have sized mine but never worn it as I prefer a Nato strap, paired with a black grey Bond style strap it looks amazing. The only negative point I can relay is that the lume is very poor, which is a shame because it would not cost much more to have had a Superluminova used and I would have definately paid more to have it. Bottom line, if you want a quality timepiece that has been well made and keeps good time and don't want to spend a small fortune, then take a look at one of these.

Having spent a couple of hours changing batteries in several quartz watches, I thought I'd go old school again. After looking at the available options, the Invicta caught my eye; good reviews and a price point that seemed, well, too good to be true! It keeps good time. I set it against a radio controlled clock, and it lost 3 seconds in a week- I call that a win, personally. Bottom line, it looks good, keeps good time and didn't cost a fortune. I'll see how well it works underwater in the Caribbean next year.....

Invicta's Pro Diver range is a homage to the Rolex Submariner, which is something that draws both praise and criticism from aficionados, but isn't really something to be worried about. The range stands on its own merits, offering good movements and decent build quality at a keen price. This particular model is a good example of this. The use of titanium really sets this particular piece apart from its stablemates. Not only does the titanium bring light weight - this watch is only about 130g - but the tone and matte effect of the metal bring a unique style that contrasts, in my opinion, beautifully with the polished stainless steel accents on the piece (the crown, bezel, and centre link caps). The one thing that I wish Invicta didn't carry over from the Rolex is the cyclops magnifier over the date. On a Rolex this will be perfectly aligned, on the Invicta it wasn't. Because I don't like them at the best of times, I elected to have the crystal replaced altogether by a local professional at a cost of £40. It's only a standard mineral crystal, but for me it was worth it because I much, much prefer the look of the watch without it - see image. As I got the watch on a deal price for under £100, and as it has the excellent Seiko NH35A movement, I considered that it was worth the investment. I'd say it's very good value for money for a 200m water resistant automatic, but watch out for the quality control and make sure you're happy with it.

EDIT: I have left my first review at the bottom. This is my second purchase after returning the first shambles. My old review was one star, it is now 5 stars. It blew me away, Invicta have a hit and miss quality, as I have found out... Firstly, a few little moans and niggles. On the back, it says: All Titanium. It's not. The bezel and crown are steel. The centre links in the bracelet may be steel, but also give the impression of polished/better finished titanium. It's slightly rattly and gives the touch of aluminium. The bracelet is link pins and are tough to remove, since titanium has next to no give. But the links and clasp all work well with no sharp edges. The case and body are good. It's 44mm in diameter, 48mm with crown and 53mm lug to lug. The 120 click bezel gives a good ratchet and the lumed pip sits 'slightly' to the right. The lume appears to be C1 and glow most of the night. Whereas the pip and hands have more layers as they glow brighter than the indices. The crystal, I think is mineral. I'm not sure, I haven't double checked. The cyclops over the date is good for watch in this price bracket. I can JUST about read the date whilst my hands are at a driving position. I put this though an accuracy report of 6 days, between wrist wear, on winder, on its back, and on the 3 and 9 o'clock position. And I get an accuracy of +5.4sec per day. This is REALLY good. It's always best to be running slightly fast that slightly behind. I really do like this watch. I don't know what to say, except I am pleasently surprised by Invicta making a really good watch, that is titanium to boot. I wish they could apply this logic to all their watches without venturing in to the over sized cases. If you have been looking for a watch that just works, keeps going and is tough to wear. I think this is it. I got this for £126. It's so good, I feel like purchasing another just for the fun of it. I think I will also be looking at the steel case ones as I have been hearing nothing but good things about them. Original review; When I first opened the box, I thought WOW!!! a 200m divers titanium watch with screw in crown and glow in the dark 12 o'clock marker, for just over £100! I'll never get this offer again! Its so light, it feels like its made of aluminum! Ive got an alumium watch, really light, but soft as butter! Then I lifted the watch out the box and noticed how cheap the bracelet was. The links had a huge sway from side to side, not little as you would get in any other watch of £100, but a LOT! So much so, that you could look close and easily see the link pins between the gaps! hmmmmm... maybe 4 stars I thought.... So, I took it out took off all the wrapping, turned the bezel and thought, wow, this is really stiff..... but it was turnable. So I adjusted the time and date and wound it up and set it off! Good! it was keeping nice time. It matched second by second over hours! By that night, things got worse. I notice if I unscrewed the crown, pulled it gently out to set the time, the hands would begin adjusting, then I would hear a click! and the hands would stop moving! I would (somehow) have to pull the crown out a little bit further to adjust the hands! Not good. What damage was this causing inside to the mechanics! It was maybe some hours after that I was using the bezel to time moments. Then it just stopped. No matter how much force I used the bezel refused to turn! I was moments away from using pliers! So, I sent it back instead. Im really disappointed. Ive heard so many problems over the quality of invicta watches and this proves it. I may try again in the future, because I really want a titanium dive watch. As a titanium dive watch(especially automatic) is much sought after.

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...........
