Description

Bold styling combines with a classic design in this automatic watch #8928 from Invicta's Pro Diver collection. This sporty yet refined timepiece features a two-tone gold-plated and silver-tone stainless steel case, bezel, and bracelet strap. Protected by an anti-reflective mineral crystal with magnifier, a vivid blue dial showcases easy-to-read hands and markers, as well as a date display at three o'clock. Automatic 21-jewel movement is both shock resistant and reliable, while water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet) helps guard against the elements.

Pro Diver Collection

Plunge into any horizon using the steadfast guidance of the Invicta Pro Diver. Stylishly classic, internal workings are forged with variations of either Swiss chronograph or 21-jewel automatic movements and willingly navigate in depths up to 300 meters. Built with confident prowess, the fortitude with which these timepieces function makes the Pro Diver the quintessential in performance.

Screw Down Crowns: Many Invicta watches are equipped with a screw down crown to help prevent water infiltration. This is most common on our Diver models. In order to adjust the date and/or time on such a watch, you must first unscrew the crown before you can gently pull it out to its first or second click stop position. To do this, simply rotate the crown counterclockwise until it springs open. When you have finished setting the watch, the crown must then be pushed in and screwed back in tightly. Not doing so will cancel the water resistance of the watch and will void all warranties from the manufacturer. Overall, this process should not require a lot of effort or force.

Automatic Watches

Automatic watches do not operate on batteries. Automatic watches are made up of about 130 or more parts that work together to tell time. Automatic movements mark the passage of time by a series of gear mechanisms, and are wound by the movement of your wrist as you wear it. The gear train then transmits the power to the escapement, which distributes the impulses, turning the balance wheel. The balance wheel is the time regulating organ of a mechanical watch, which vibrates on a spiral hairspring. Lengthening or shortening the balance spring makes the balance wheel go faster or slower to advance or retard the watch. The travel of the balance wheel from one extreme to the other and back again is called oscillation. Lastly, automatic movements come in different types, including movements that are Swiss-made, Japanese-made, and more.

Also referred to as self-winding, watches with automatic movements utilize kinetic energy, the swinging of your arm, to provide energy to an oscillating rotor to keep the watch ticking. They're considered more satisfying to watch collectors (horologists) because of the engineering artistry that goes into the hundreds of parts that make up the movement. If you do not wear an automatic watch consistently (for about 8 to 12 hours a day), you can keep the watch powered with a watch winder (a great gift for collectors).

5Best Dive Watch Value  Sep 28, 2005 By Michael Horn "mikie"
Invicta's 8928 is a two tone model of the dive watch that started it all - the 8926! The watch utilizes 23k gold plate which wears rather well on the crown and bezel - less so on the bracelet for an overall look rivaling the Rolex Submariner. Let's take a tour of this $100 price range diving watch and note the value and style of the timepiece:

Movement

The Citizen Miyota 21 jewel movement rivals Swiss automatic movements for a fraction of the price. If it has any weakness - it is in the small power reserve - losing it's mainspring energy with less than one day off the wrist. IF not worn everyday- it should be put on a programmable watch winder or manually wound. The second hand will not "hack" with this movement. A date (complication) window shows at the 3 o'clock position. It must be manually adjusted every February and other 30 day months.

Case

The 43mm (with crown) 316L brushed stainless steel case wears comfortably on the wrist. The case lugs are modestly curved to accomodate wrists of all sizes. The new model (larger) gold plated screw down crown looks elegent as it contrasts the case.

The blue dive bezel - unidirectional 120 clicks around - is scalloped like the Omega Seamaster and is a departure from older model 8928's which flaunted a Rolex like "coin edge" bezel. Under pressure from Rolex it was changed by Invicta two years ago. The blue enamal is vey scratch resistant - the numbers more copper color than gold.

The Mineral Glass crystal is scratch resistant - but not nearly as much as a more desirable sapphire watch face (imprinted only by diamond) which could double the cost of the watch. Mineral glass is less prone to chipping or shattering than a sapphire crystal. The display watchback is also mineral glass - displaying the undecorated Miyota automatic movement. Mineral glass backs are less likely to cause skin irritation than a stainless steel backed case.

A date magnifier (Cyclops) at the 3 o'clock position carries on the Submariner theme. The gold watch hands contrast wonderfully with the Invicta blue dial. The LUME off the watch hands and number positions is modest - both in brightness and longevity as compared to more expensive dive watches. A "winged" Invicta symbol decorates the counter - balanced side of the gold second hand. An elegent "INVICTA" product name is embossed on the left side of the case. The watch is rated as a Professional Diver 200M (660 feet) water resistant.

Bracelet

The comfortable two tone stainess steel pinned link bracelet is worth the price of the watch. Solid end links, rounded flexible wrist links set off the gold plated center links - all made to look like the Rolex Oyster bracelet. The bracelet's gold center links are the only 23k gold plating prone to scratching. The foldover adjustable double safety clasp uses pins as well. There is no wetsuit deployment clasp as found in more expensive watches.

CONCLUSION

Rated 5 Stars because of value and features, the Invicta 89XX series of Professional Dive Watches has kept the company in the forefront of automatic movement watch manufacturers. No one can touch Invicta in the $100 area Pro-diver price range. Fit, finish, design, value and quality cannot be beat. This IS the leader in its class. Those desiring a Swiss made watch with Sapphire crystal and heftier bracelet should first look at the Invicta 9938 for about threetimes the price.

4Nice design for a watch at this price, but the movement is junk  Jan 14, 2007 By S. Kosloske
It's a great watch for the price. I think I paid $130 for it. Sure, the swiss 25 jewel movement version is nicer, but I thought I'd try the lower-end 21 jewel. It runs great, keeps good time, and is probably one of the best watches you can get for the money. High quality work, very close in look/feel/weight to a R*lex. We'll have to see how the gold plating wears over time, but other than that, it's a great watch.

EDIT: Had to change my review, the movement has been giving me problems, first I couldn't quick-set the date, now the hands jump when trying to set the time, and the second hand stops on me even when it's running.

The case, the band, everything else is top notch for a $150 watch, but the cheap automatic movement really ruins it. In my opinion, get the one with the 25jewel swiss movement, and pay the extra $100. I have to send mine back for a warranty repair, and wish I would have bought the other one first.

3Love the watch, not the performance  Jun 03, 2005 By Thomas H. Canar
I have owned two of this style Invicta Watch, and although I love the style and appearance, both have had problems. I thought the first was just a lemon, and although the second is better, both have trouble when you take them off, sometimes just long enough to change clothes or take a shower. Both have stopped working even when I keep them on over night. One vendor recommended winding the stem before putting them on each day, but all other automatic watches have had enough charge to keep on ticking. Perhaps I got spoiled by my first Seiko, which performed flawlessly for over 25 years.

1Men' 8928 Invicta watch a $100 DUD!!!  Aug 07, 2010 By Robblegrass
I was lucky to purchase Invicta watch #6020 (awesome) & Invicta watch #8928. Even though model #8928 looks cool, it doesn't work. I lose 20 minutes to 5 hours a night. FRUSTRATING !!
I tried to return it to Amazon but the return process just kept going in circles and guess what? I'm stuck with a $73 watch + International shipping/handling, tarrifs, etc. for almost $100.00. This watch turned out to be a ripp off since I can't return it to Amazon. Maybe if you lived in the Continental USA you'd be able to return it. I don't know why this watch doesn't work ... it just doesn't. I don't know why I couldn't return it, I just couldn't.
Oh yeah. It also cost me $10.00 to adjust the watch band. The watch looks real cool sitting in my winder though. Just don't wear it.
In my opinion this watch is garbage, a dud!
