Invicta Men’s Pro Diver Collection Automatic Watch #9110
From Invicta

List Price: $315.00

Invicta’s large-sized Pro Diver G2 stainless steel men’s automatic watch is perfect for the serious diver who also wants to turn heads with a stylish watch. This shock-resistant timepiece features a solid stainless steel case that’s topped by a unidirectional rotating bezel with embossed elapsed time markings and scalloped edges. The black dial face includes large Tritnite luminous markers and hands (with seconds hand) and a date window at 3 o’clock with magnifier. It’s matched with a comfortable black rubber strap with rounded accents, and it’s joined by a buckle. Other features include a see-through case back, anti-reflective mineral crystal, and water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet)–suitable for recreational diving.An automatic (or self-winding) watch is fitted with a device (rotor) that automatically winds the spring by using the force of gravity. It needs no battery, but it will stop if you have been physically inactive for an extended period of time–as long as you’re moving, the watch will stay powered. Swiss watchmaker Abraham-Louis Perrelet invented the self-winding mechanism in 1770. It worked on the same principle as a modern pedometer, and was designed to wind as the owner walked.

Tritnite is a luminous material with an extended glow exclusively developed by Invicta in Switzerland and added to their timepiece hands and markers. When exposed to regular daylight, it will hold its glow for about 20 hours. Read the rest of this entry »
