Men's 5053 Pro Diver Collection Automatic Watch

The Invicta 5053 Pro Diver looks and feels like a luxury watch without the heavy price tag. The automatic movement is smooth and reliable, and the striking blue and red "Pepsi" bezel looks absolutely stunning in person. It has a solid weight to it, a comfortable stainless steel band, and genuine 200m water resistance, making it durable enough for swimming and everyday wear. It keeps great time and catches everyone's eye. Pros: Beautiful classic design, reliable automatic movement, 200m water resistance, excellent price. Cons: The case is a bit thick, which might feel bulky on very small wrists.

Frankly, I was somewhat skeptical. A decent, let alone good, watch at this price from ... ahem ... Invicta? Well, my experience 2 weeks or so into ownership has pretty much proven my suspicions to be ill-founded. This is a terrific watch, made all the better because of the "silly" price. Pay 20x the money or much more, if you want, in terms of a quality watch, you won't do better. OK, it doesn't say Omega or Rolex on the dial. But, let me take you through my likes and dislikes. 1. Appearance. It looks terrific straight out of the case and appears to be well made. On my wrist, I think it looks great -- it's 40mm, ie, medium sized these days, and that suits me. 2. Feel. It has a surprising heft. I wasn't expecting this for a watch at this price-point, but it feels substantial, but not overly heavy, when wearing it. I like that very much -- it's reassuring, somehow, and suggests robustness and superior build quality to my way of thinking. 3. Durability. Too soon to tell, overall, However, when I accidentally banged the watch against a heavy metal gate the other day, I winced, fully expecting to find at least a cracked or scratched crystal, or damage to the strap. Nope. Nada. I wasn't just relieved, I was, again, very pleasantly surprised by this piece. 4. Reliability. Again, probably too early to say, overall. Again, however, I will say this: my watch has been keeping perfect time. Saying so here will now probably jinx it, but we shall see. I was not expecting this from my own prior experience with an automatic watch, and some of the other reviews here. It wouldn't have bothered me too much, as I viewed time gain/loss as part of the automatic watch experience -- and I like to engage with my devices. Sort of like preferring to drive stick over automatic. It's a personal thing. But, so far, this watch has kept perfect time. 5. Automatic movement. I just prefer it to quartz, although quartz is, typically, just perfectly accurate. I didn't want to see the word "quartz" on the dial, and I liked seeing the watch-movement on the back of the case. That movement, however, is painted yellow, not left stainless. Initially, I was put off by this because I just didn't like the aesthetic. However, I almost never see it as the watch is on my wrist all the time, and now I've become used to it anyway. 6. Service. This also really surprised me. I took delivery of the watch and followed the instructions (or so I thought) to set both the time and the date. Problem: time re-set ok, but not the date, no matter how often I tried. I was disappointed and annoyed with myself. After all, at this price-point, what could I expect? So, I waited 24 hours and was advised I could either get a complete refund or a replacement. If io ted for the replacement, i would have 30 days to return the original, or else my card would be charged again. I opted for the replacement, which arrived a few days later. Again, I was unable to set the date, although the setting the time went flawlessly. Again I was frustrated, but also skeptical of the possibility that not one but two watches had the identical issue. Perhaps the problem wasn't with the watch, but with me -- perhaps I was doing something wrong? I took them to a nearby jeweler/Invicta dealer, who showed me that, yes indeed, the problem was me. When setting the date, even though you are going forward, you have to wind backwards, ie, counter-clockwise. Problem solved! I therefore returned the replacement watch and kept the original. Yes, the instructions in the box could have been clearer, but I was mightily impressed by the Seller (Amazon?) immediately sending me a replacement with no questions asked, and then giving me 30 days to return the original before charging my card. 7. The"unboxing" experience. People post YouTube videos of themselves unboxing their latest doo-dad all the time. Certainly, there is something satisfying about unboxing your new iProduct or Cartier that adds to the whole ownership experience. This, for me, was not that. The box is a horrible vinyl. The yellow color isn't exactly subtle, but would probably look better in cardboard. I don't keep it out anywhere visible. The instructions are stuffed into the lid and don't fit. It all looks and feels wrong. The watch itself was covered in a number of transparent protective tapes, that were tricky to remove and required some patience. All that said, none of these (minor) gripes have affected my overall, very positive experience. 8. Value For Money. You could get yourself the quartz version for about $30 cheaper at the time of writing. While that's not nothing, and is about a full one-third less than this watch, I opted for this model. The quartz model also has a slightly different bezel, one which I actually prefer as it's a little more modern and subtle, without the classic, jagged "teeth." This watch has the traditional look. However, for me, an automatic stainless-steel diver's watch with these looks, heft and reliability at this price, represents excellent VFM. 9.Conclusion. If you're considering this watch, I say buy it. It's very reasonably priced for what it is and you'll have ample time to return it if you don't like it.

October 2014, 19 month update. Quite honestly I haven’t a clue regarding the accuracy of this watch movement. The following paragraph are previous accuracy reports which consistently recorded negative losses in time. After several months off wrist in a drawer but with daily crown (stem) winding the accuracy continued to diminish up to a loss of 40 seconds a day which was unacceptable to my standards. After these several months off wrist I started wearing the watch again and much to my surprise the watch actually started gaining time for the first time. This was with winding the movement with gentle not vigorous side to side (off wrist) rocking movement about 5 to 10 minutes a day. With this style of winding, the accuracy has increased to within about 5 seconds a day, usually fast. Note when taken off wrist for sleep at night the watch typically loses about 5 seconds a night. But when wound as previously described it gains back that 5 seconds during the day and is closely dead accurate every 24 hours. Why and how this happened after a year and a half and after about 3 months off wrist with manual crown winding is quite the mystery to me. Right now it far exceeds the Seiko manufacturers specifications of accuracy for this NH35A movement. Currently I’m stunned that this watch is presently more accurate than my Seiko SKX007 and even my Rolex Submariner! It’s only a couple of seconds less accurate than my solar electronic watches which have quartz movements. July 2024 accuracy update. 16 months after purchase. Loses -27 to - 28 seconds per day. Seiko, the maker of the movement says its accuracy is +45 to -35 seconds per day. Other literature says this movement NH35A is accurate to -20 to +40 seconds a day. So mine is within factory specs. My personal preference is a watch that gains time rather than loses time. I think it is unrealistic to expect a more accurate automatic mechanical watch for the price of $80.00. As such I consider it to be an acceptable value. January 19, 2024 update: ten month progress report Originally purchased March 11, 2023, initial impressions: Great care was taken in packaging of the watch. There are extensive protective coatings and films to protect the new watch to insure its arrival in perfect condition. All moving parts of the watch appear to be tight as a drum with is no play, slack or slop in the adjustment stem (aka crown). The bezel and all moving parts including bracelet are tight and secure. There is a very specific heft to the watch indicating solid stainless steel as opposed to cheap pot metals. Every aspect indicates care given a quality product. Rather than other imitation Rolex Submariner knock offs, Invicta proudly inscribes their brand name on the side of the watch which is openly visible, indicating their pride of product. Note that despite the label “Professional Divers” the bracelet lacks a built in wetsuit extension adjustment. The overall quality is very impressive. (Note that despite the label “Professional Divers” the bracelet lacks a built in wetsuit extension adjustment.) The mechanical movement of this watch is the Seiko manufactured NH35A. Seiko states the accuracy of this movement is +45 to -35 seconds a day. 5 independent websites (Relojee, The Watch Blog, Lucius Alelier, Grayson, and Chronometer Check) report the accuracy of this movement to be +40 to -20 seconds per day. Trade literature indicates the industry standard is + or - 25 seconds a day as typical and acceptable for an automatic mechanical watch. The following is an accuracy report that I’ve actually experienced with this watch. I recommend supplemental winding if the wearer is either sedentary or spends a large portion of their time seated in front of a computer screen. I recommend winding by the physical movement of the watch rather than winding the crown (stem). After 10 months of experimentation, I have found the best way to supplementally wind the watch to attain the greatest accuracy, is the following method/technique: With your forearm resting on the arm of a chair and the watch in hand, gently roll the wrist/forearm in an arch slowly—at the rate of about a cycle a second for a few minutes. Using this method my watch had been accurate to between -3 and -6 seconds per day. Previously with vigorous agitation the accuracy was around -17 to -19 seconds a day. Really vigorous agitation slowed the movement to -30 to -40 seconds a day. Wind it slowly and gently to maintaining greatest accuracy. As a point of reference, an official Swiss COSC certification of chronometer is -4 to +6 seconds per day. Only 3% of watches made in Switzerland meet this standard. COSC only certifies Swiss watches. To put this in further perspective, look up the official Seiko website SEIKOWATCHES.COM and read the proud announcement of the new model PROSPEX SPB 297 the divers modern reinterpretation SAVE THE OCEAN SPECIAL EDITION, caliber (movement) 6R35 which has an accuracy of +25 to -15 seconds per day. This PROSPEX watch is priced at $1,250.00. THE BOTTOM LINE: all in all, given its overall quality and its acceptible accuracy, qualifies it as an exceptional value . (A possible comparison may be the Seiko 5 series which uses the same movement and are significantly more expensive-approximately twice the cost. Check the other evaluations for their accuracy reports. My watrch loses about one minute every 3 days, or about 2 minutes each week. You can decide if you can live with this accuracy. Note that solar watches do not require routine battery replacements and have the accuracy of typical quartz movements i.e. a couple of seconds per day. Citizen and Seiko solar dive watches typically cost in excess of $300.00.

I’ve had this watch for 15 months now. I live and work on a farm so it gets beat up pretty bad. It’s been rubbed against a lot of metal reaching inside equipment turning wrenches. I started out wearing an Apple Watch. I hated it. I disliked having to charge it every night and after having it awhile I smacked it on a metal gate sorting cattle and it cracked. Too much $ spent to have that happen again. I purchased this watch because I wanted a simple time keeper that didn’t need a battery, was nice looking, made me feel proud to wear and if it was junk and broke I wouldn’t be upset about how much I spent. Pros: The weight of the watch is impressive. It’s not too heavy but it has the feel of a quality watch. The Seiko N35A movement keeps good time for me. It’s running on average of 5 seconds a day fast. If you want better accuracy buy a quartz watch but then you’re screwing with a battery. I set mine one minute slow at the beginning of the month and at the end of the month it’s one minute fast. Good enough for me! I can’t really comment on the band that came with it. I switched mine out for a different style after I got mine because I didn’t like the band that came with the watch. Nothing wrong with the original. I just didn’t like the feel of a metal band. Cons: The crystal is mineral and it will scratch. The bezel insert is aluminum and it will also get scratched up. The picture shows what mine looks like after 15 months of wearing it every day. The worst was the date magnifier. I’m guessing it was plastic because mine became unreadable after a few months as it was scratched up so bad! I ended up removing the date magnifier after a couple months. I really didn’t like it anyway. Today I replaced the mineral crystal with a sapphire crystal. I also replaced the aluminum bezel insert with a new aluminum one. See what that looks like in another 15 months. Some people don’t like the Invicta branding on the watch but it doesn’t bother me. I’m not trying to pass it off as a Rolex. I just want a good looking quality watch. The lume sucks. Mine will only stay readable for less than a minute in the dark after being exposed to bright light. All in all I’ve been impressed with this watch. It’s been a good time keeper. I’ve never had it stop running and I never wind it with the stem. After 15 months I don’t regret the purchase and I still enjoy wearing the watch.

2 months ago I purchased the Invicta gold 8930 and really liked it. I got hooked on Invictas. Then a man I do business with showed me his Rolex Submariner, proud of it, for only $5000. Well, I love the look but not the price. I looked at the Invictas on Amazon and found almost an exact duplicate, the 8926-C (coin bezel) for under $90. I have been wearing it constantly for a month now and really like it. It runs about 4 min. fast a month but that's not a big deal to adjust it. I understand that will settle down to a smaller amount over time. The watch looks great, and almost exactly like the R@lex Submariner, and occasionally someone with a Real Rolex will compliment me and ask what year my Rolex is. The construction, materials and workmanship seem excellent, but then it's only been a month. I will update if any problems. Oh yes, buy the $39 watch winder listed on Amazon to keep your watch wound when not wearing it for a day or longer. Update April 19, 2009 I have now had this watch about 7 months and wear it almost daily. I continue to be very pleased with it. The longer I wear it, the more accurate it gets. It perhaps gains 2 minutes a month, not a problem. I would buy it again. Update December 16, 2011 I have now had this watch for 25 months and love it. I wear it 6 days a week and it runs and looks great. There are some small scuff marks on the clasp from my wrist hitting my desk much of the day, but that can be buffed out. It is nice to have to worry about batteries. I also have the Invicta Gold 8930 and it still works well also. Very pleased. Update November 2013 I have now owned this Invicta watch for Four years and wear it at least 6 days a week. It operates very well, gaining perhaps 2-3 minutes a month, no big deal and actually helps me be on time for meetings. It is nice not having to replace batteries. I may need to polish the band a bit, especially the clasp, but the crystal looks fine. The $39 Winder I purchased only lasted about a year and died. My Gold Invicta 8930 still works well also and looks very nice. Update November 25, 2014, I have now owned this watch 5 years and love it. I wear it 6 days a week. It runs very well and still looks great. The bracelet clasp could use some buffing but otherwise it is excellent and I receive many compliments, including from Rolex owners when they ask "hey, what year is your Rolex?" Sometimes I tell them, sometimes I just say, "Oh, it's just a few years old". Great watch. If in doubt, buy it. It is wonderful to not have to buy batteries. I'm a fan! Update July 2018 I just noticed on Amazon that I purchased my Invicta Pro Diver Stainless Steel watch in Nov. 2009, so that's almost 9 years ago. I still wear my watch virtually every day and it has worked perfectly. Four years ago I wore a Garmin Fitbit for 15 months and then went back to my Invicta, reset the time/ date, gave it a few shakes and it's back and running fine. It gains about 1 minute per month, sometimes two. I just reset it when I have to reset the date after a 30 day month. I may need to take it in for a cleaning & polishing at some point, but it runs and looks great. About once a month someone will say "Hey, I like your watch", or "What year is your R@lex?". I also have a gold colored Invicta and it works well whenever I wear it. I'm a big Invicta Fan.

I don't write that many reviews, but in this case I felt I had to. I have always owned cheap watches, the nicest one I have being a Fossil Chronograph. I was very dissatisfied with the Fossil, as it looked nice, but the lap timer didn't work after just a short while, and worse, the simple act of putting my hand in my pocket to get my cell phone would often bump the crown out of position and stop the watch. I would look down hours later to a stopped watch, and was constantly having to reset the time. Thus began my search for something of a little higher quality. I began my search by googling "screw down crown," since my main problem was that the crown on my watch was constantly being bumped out. I ran across several Invicta watches, and began checking some of them out. I stumbled across the 8926, and thought, "Wow, that looks really similar to a Rolex Submariner." I searched on Rolex Submariner, and put it side by side with the Invicta 8926, and discovered they are almost indistinguishable, except of course for the branding. I know there are some subtle differences, but they look very similar. I'm an attorney, and another couple of attorneys I work with have Rolex Submariners, and I've always been envious. They're simple, and look nice with just about any type of clothing. My first thought was, "OK, probably just a low-quality Rolex knock-off," so I started doing some research. Surprisingly, everything I found pointed to the fact that this is actually a very nice watch. Sure, it doesn't have a Swiss movement, but the one I got has the Japanese NH35 movement, which is both winding and hacking, if you care about such things, and let me tell you, I am pleased as punch with it. I haven't timed it yet to see how many seconds it gains or loses each day, but I've been wearing it for a week, and the time seems to be spot on to my amateur eyes. The quality of this thing really impressed me. (But again, this coming from someone whose nicest watch was a Fossil. Nothing against Fossil, but...). I love the screw down crown, and the bezel is very snug so it doesn't rotate every time the wind blows. In all, I simply cannot believe that one can purchase an automatic watch of this quality for under 100 bucks. If it continues to run well and keep good time, I don't see myself buying another watch for a long while. (unless I get to the point I can afford the REAL Submariner :) Bottom line, I recommend this watch wholeheartedly, and without reservation.

First I'll just say the one I received did not have the yellow rotor on the back nor the yellow box. I received a plain metal rotor and an amazing box that looks like an ammo canister. I'm not upset with the change but if you are looking for that specific model you might not get that here. This is the newer version of the same exact watch with the same model #. I own quite a few watches from G-Shock, Citizen, Seiko, Tissot, and Tag. I've been building my collection for awhile now and I suppose that I'm purchasing this watch in reverse order. I wanted to compare it to the others that I have acquired. My initial impression of this watch is that it looks very nice. Unlike my Seiko 5's I'm not looking to change out the bracelet immediately. This one does have the tin sound to it and the stamped clasp but it's just a fraction better which makes it more acceptable and I like the polished look which sets it apart from most of my bands. It's a Seiko NH35 so there isn't much to say there it's a solid movement. Everything lines up as it should and my bezel rotates and clicks very well. In fact it's the best bezel rotation and click in my lineup. That is saying something considering I have a few watches that truly cost 40x the price of this watch. With the price of everything rising these days it is amazing that this watch continues to hold the line. It's a better value now than the reviews you are reading from a few years back. If there was anything that gave me cause for concern it is the crown. You do need to be careful with it to get to the date and to screw it in properly. You should be careful not to screw it on incorrectly and mess up the threading. If you have a large collection of high end watches this is probably not the watch for you, but then again maybe you want a watch to bang around in without modification. This will definitely accomplish the task. It's a great watch for an amazing price and people hating on this watch are entitled to their opinions, but you won't hear me say anything bad about it. I love it.

For the price, this is amazing! To get it out of the way, there is ONE niggle: I woud rather have a bright white coat on the pointers, than the neon-green "lume" paint. "lume" in modern watches is nothing but a gimmick, as the original lume coats in the first half of the 20th century were radio-active! We don't have those anymore, so modern lume only glows, when a watch is "charged" in bright light, and it only lasts a minute or two, so is totally useless and dark at night. Otherwise, this Invicta is a lovely watch, both tough and dressy (which is almost impossible) and maybe my favourite ever, after I wore many designer watches, like Skagen, and many tough daily beaters, with so far nothing more accurate and reliable and tough than a Casio, believe it or not. Growing up with the first quartz watches, I never even looked at mechanical watches until now. The Seiko movement in these Invictas is within 15 seconds or so in a day, so it is easy to live with, as far as accuracy is concerned, so it is good enough not just for a retired guy, like myself! The dial is very easy and a joy to read with this black dial and white(ish) hand hand theme. The picture of the Pro Diver on my wrist was made in a dimly lit room and it only gets better in better light. This stainless steel and black bezel model is a beautiful watch, with the heft of about 150 grams or 5 ounces for both watch and the very solid and smooth steel band, but surprisingly comfortable to wear all day! Is it a Rolex? No. Is it as good? Yes, not just for the money, and I find it in far better taste than wasting big money on a Rolex, even if I had that much :) In trade for not ever needing a new battery again, I was expecting a so-so accurate watch, within maybe -20 to +40 seconds per day as specified for the NH35A movement by Seiko, that is inside. Depending on how it is worn and stored at night (mine needs to go face down to slow down a bit, after running ahead a wee bit all day), it actually stays well within 15 seconds/day, and I only adjust it twice a week now. This is totally remarkable for such a seriously affordable mechanical watch (paid WAY under 80 bucks for this one). Only my lesser quartz watches are this good (it only gets better with a real Casio!), so for a purely mechanical watch, it is simply outstanding! I checked this one with a timegrapher (free app for phone is available, or you can buy a physical one), and in the different positions (face up/down, 12 up, 6 up, 3 up, 9 up), it is either a few seconds per day fast or slow, always within 12 seconds per day, so with daily wear, where your hand changes position all the time, it averages out to just about perfect. Fit and finish are very good, and I would have no complaints if this were a 500 dollar watch, but for way under 100 bucks, this is a beautiful gift from the makers! The design is of course nothing new, and even the 1953 Rolex Submariner this is paying homage to, was a design evolution rather than a completely a new design, if you pay attention to really old movies. So those who hate this Invicta as a Submariner copy, can get lost :) All I know is, that to buy a new Rolex, I would have to order one on a waiting list and spend at bare minimum what 200 or more of these little Invicta marvels would cost, and even more with extras, like the date wheel that is included here! This one looks simply great and fits into any environment, whether you actually use it as a dive watch (many people do, just read reviews all over the web), or with a suit at a posh dinner party! A word about being waterproof: You HAVE to screw down the crown! If you see a gap between the crown and the case, the crown is open, and if the watch fills with water, it is YOUR fault! This will happen on any dive watch with a screw-down crown, if you do not pay attention, so those who wrote bad reviews somewhere about these watches leaking, did not pay attention. There is a whole video about that subject on Youtube as well. I am a retired and stroke disabled guy with heart problems, so I'd be nuts to dive in anything deeper than a bathtub, but I am confident this is every-day water-proof after taking a few showers with it :) OH yes, the bezel - it rotates anti-clockwise only. It is very stiff and hard to rotate, tough to use for old and partially paralyzed hands like mine, but it clicks nicely into place at 2 clicks per minute marker. The fact it is so hard to rotate also means it is good for the job at hand, because it stays where you set it! When you set it with "0" to where the minute hand is at this time, it is an optical aid to start counting minutes, which is important for divers with air tanks! This is from the days before calculators and digital watches, just like slide rules. You could try to remember when you started, but in physical stress situations and going through temperature and pressure extremes, which I have been in as a veteran, the mind can get very foggy, so a simple display of simple and important information is crucial for survival. Once set, push the bezel clockwise to seat it with at most a tiny slip into the last click-stop, and it lines up perfectly, being a real precision piece! Altogether, LOVE it!

Over the years, Invicta has gained notoriety for its endless homages of classic timepieces by other watchmakers. The brand is viewed by some watch enthusiasts as unoriginal, tacky, and deceiving. However, still, Invicta is a good starting point for those looking into getting a genuine automatic watch. The Invicta Pro Diver (8926ob) is an excellent homage of the Rolex Submariner in my opinion, and here’s why: First, the quality of the timepiece. The stainless steel casing and bracelet are of outstanding quality. The bracelet feels solid, and the housing has some weight to it. At this price, you’d expect a kiosk-tier Rolex knockoff; This watch doesn’t feel like the manufacturers cut corners on its materials. The glass used is a proprietary mineral material, and so far, it has been great with zero scratches. The crown is great, despite what other reviewers have said. I haven’t had any issues with turning the crown and enjoy the satisfying feel of winding it. The watch uses a Seiko-calibre NH35A movement, which is insanely durable. The movement on its own sells for about half of this watch’s retail price and is widely available on secondary markets. This means that if you ever have an issue with the watch, you can source its movement online with no trouble. The hacking and hand-winding features are exceptional, and I found that it keeps time very well. After a day of wear, the watch fell behind only by 1 second. Wow. As for its design, of course, many love it, and others hate it. It looks much like a Rolex Submariner. I don’t care if it looks very much like a Rolex, nor do I care to listen to watch snobs when they stare at it with disgust. Rolex or Invicta, this style is beautiful. I love the Mercedes hand and find the bezel to be decent. There are no complaints in terms of design. Now, let’s talk about the lume on the dials and bezel. It’s almost non-existent. At night, it’s virtually impossible to see the lume even if you had the watch under the sun all day. It was very disappointing, but for this price, it is expected. Overall, it’s a beautiful watch comprised of well-sourced materials and the Seiko-calibre movement. The movement is the star of the show for this watch, giving it excellent value and functionality. The stainless steel and mineral glass are durable, but lume, non-existent. The bracelet is perfect and feels solid and feels comfortable for all-day use. For its price, it’s a no-brainer, a great deal. I strongly recommend this watch.

Very impressed. On Amazon Sweden the title is for the quartz version but the description is for the automatic. I wanted the automatic so took a bet and it was indeed the 8926OB version (automatic). I watched a lot of reviews on youtube before deciding and was worried about some of the negativity about the engraving on the case, the overkill of the dial and second hand design. Size and strap are also criticized but the quality of the strap and feel of the watch on my 6.7 inch wrist is quite ok. I put it on my timegrapher and the Seiko NH35A movement averages a beat rate error of 0.1ms and runs -10 seconds a day, My limited edition Seiko Gene Kranz arrived with a 3.1 ms beat rate error and -35 seconds a day average and cost 6 times more. Go figure. That was out of the box, I regulated it now. I probably would not go into water too much with it, but putting some silicon grease on the case seal and the winder screw threads would increase my confidence so I might do that. This is an out of the box review, time will tell, but it is a great start. if you want something you can wear in everyday situations and enjoy the experience of an automatic that looks and works ok, I can highly recommend. Especially for the very attractive black friday price.

Fantastic value. Been swimming in sweet and salted water for years now. Never had an issue.

Received the watch in a smooth top invicta yellow box (not the wave patterned top). The watch is on a cardboard sleeve, not on a watch cushion. Also please note that the rotor says "TMI" and not "SII". The movement is probably from Hong Kong China, factory owned by Seiko. A very nice looking watch. Hope the accuracy doesn't disappoint.

I have been collecting higher end watches for over 30 years, so after an expensive repair I wanted a cheap everyday watch I could wear doing any job, without the worry on damaging it. On doing some research the Casio Duro Marlin Diver 44mm came in very highly rated and the Invicta Pro Diver 40mm also, although with a smaller wrist I chose the smaller Invicta Pro Diver Automatic 40mm, after being persuaded by an in-depth online review by an horologist who highly rated it. I purchased the black/silver version and my first impressions on opening the box were very positive, it is a nice looking and sturdy watch with a good weight, and once I had the strap adjusted it sat perfectly on my wrist for size and felt very comfortable. As many other reviewers have also noted the watch does at a glance look like a Submariner. The crown works okay although it doesn’t feel as sturdy as my higher end watches, and the hack is good for setting the time accurately. The Seiko automatic movement is pretty accurate and also very quiet. The bracelet is okay, it does the job well and is comfortable but it does rattle slightly. Regarding the ‘Invicta’ engraving, while some really dislike it I do not find it intrusive at all, but agree it would be better not being there. Probably my only gripe is that the lume is very poor and almost non-existent, and this really could be improved even if it means adding another £10 on the price. I have also since originally writing this changed the strap for an Archers Black 20mm NATO strap, which I think makes the watch look better. Overall I am happy with this watch, it is a good price for an automatic movement, although I haven’t tested it in water yet. Regarding the price, Amazon is competitive but they do move the price up and down, so keep your eye out for Prime days as they often knock 15% off, or more on Black Friday.
