Invicta Pro-Diver Analog Black Dial Men’s Watch-8926OB

Comprehensive review
For people who don’t have time to read my complete review, here’s a brief review.Bought for: ₹5808Pros:1. Automatic Japanese Seiko movement2. Amazing build quality3. 200m water resistant4. Display back5. Screw down crown6. Rotating outer diver bezel7. Manual wind and hacking functions8. Looks like a Rolex SubmarinerCons:1. Looks a lot like a Rolex Submariner2. A bit tall on the wrist3. Servicing is tough in India for Invicta watches if something goes wrong4. A Little heavy on the bracelet5. Loom is very weak on the markers. Some people have complain about quality issues like misaligned markers or bezel, hands fell off etc. At the time of posting this review it’s been almost a month of daily use and I’m lucky to not have any issues in my piece.Verdict: It’s an absolute value for money (at least for what I’ve paid) and you can definitely go for it if you like the design.Loooong Review: To be honest I’m a huge horological nerd and I absolutely love watches. I follow almost all watch communities on the internet and I have quite a decent collection of watches myself including Gshock, Seiko, Timex, automatic, manual wind and quartz movements etc. I always wanted to have an automatic diver in my collection and my first choice was a Seiko SKX which is a legendary diver watch. But when I searched I couldn’t find SKX on any website or retail stores in India. (Though later I found that Amazon is selling it in India but for an absurd price of more than 30k where as you could buy it in US for somewhere around 200 dollars) So I had no choice but to find an alternative and I came across Orient Ray and Mako line of watches which are absolutely gorgeous and original in design but they cost around 14k – 17k on Amazon India. Meanwhile I had my eyes on this Invicta Prodiver 8926OB even though a lot of people in watch community dislike Invicta as a company, but like this particular watch model. So when I checked, the prices were fluctuating between 7k to 9k and I was not willing to pay that money for an Invicta, but recently the prices dropped to around 5800 bucks and I jumped on it. Honestly, there are no regrets since. The dimensions are, 40mm dia bezel excluding crown, the lug width is 20mm. It wears marvellously on smaller wrist like mine even though it wears a little bit taller on the wrist. It has a 120 click rotating bezel and the action on the bezel is very solid and easy to rotate thanks to coinage on the bezel. There are applied markers and applied winged Invicta logo which looks really good and the hands are very Rolex inspired Mercedes hands, both have loom but the loom on the markers are very dim when compared to loom on the hands. There is a loom pip on the bezel at 12 o’clock position that helps in orientation of the watch in the dark. The watch has a mixture of brushed and mirror finishes that is done impeccably well and it gives a beautiful lustre to the watch especially on that aluminium insert of the bezel and glossy black dial of the watch. There is a cyclops on the mineral glass exactly above the date window that magnifies it for improved legibility. Some people don’t like the cyclops but personally, I don’t mind it. The crown is a screw down crown with crown guards. I’m really impressed with the crown on this watch. It has a perfect size to screw, unscrew or wind the watch with ease, and it is signed with Invicta cross that aligns perfectly when completely screwed in. Another impressive thing in this watch is the display back, it shows the automatic movement in all its glory.Speaking of the movement, it is the best part in this watch. It is a Japanese caliber NH35A movement, basically it is an unbranded version of Seiko movement caliber 4R35 which can be found in sub 30,000₹ Seiko watches. It is most popular automatic movement in micro brands too. This movement is automatic of course(for those who don’t know it doesn’t require a battery and works on your movements) but it has hacking(seconds hand stops when crown is pulled out) and manual wind functions as well. According to the official site it has an accuracy of -20 to +20 seconds per day but I’m happy to report it is given me an impressive +7 seconds per day.The bracelet which it comes on is completely solid with brushed and mirror finishes. End links are hollow but it is expected in this price range. I must say it looks really good on the bracelet but you can most definitely order some nato straps (preferably on AliExpress 😬 sorry amazon, you lack collection in this regard) and dress it down a bit. And because of the Rolex aesthetics, this watch is a strap monster. It looks freakin amazing with any strap you put it on.I must say, I’ve washed clothes wearing it, I’ve been to weddings with it, I’ve been on a bike ride with it, I went swimming with it, you name it. I’ve even dropped it once accidentally but it did not stop ticking.I’ve tried to take and post as many pictures as I can for you to decide but I gotta say it’s one of the best wrist watches at the price range. Absolutely go for it if you like the design and if it suits your budget. At the end of the day if something brings you joy and happiness, it’s worth it.Regards,MS

Value for money
Guys go for it, at this price point it’s the best option. This watch price increases day by day.

Wow match
This is a wonderful watch. I like it very much. And my delivery experience is also very good.

Best homage for submariner
Been waiting so long to get this beauty ,make it sit on my wrist …absolutely beautiful and worth every rupee… band width 20 mm,Diameter 40 mmA bit chunky but need not bother abt that….You could buy this without hesitation…a solid 10/10❤️❤️❤️❤️

Produto Premium. Muito bem acabado e bem produzido. Movimento NH35 é excelente e muito fácil de achar peças caso precise de alguma manutenção no futuro. Vale a pena! Excelente homenagem ao Rolex Submariner.

Es un Excelente Reloj.Algunos le llaman homenaje otros dirán que es una copia del Submariner pero es algo que realmente no me importa. En lo personal no podría llamarle copia, el diseño si esta inspirado en el Submariner, como muchos otros relojes de diferentes marcas que incluso tienen precios mas altos, pero este diseño no es exactamente igual para llamarlo copia.Es un Diver automático echo de acero inoxidable 316L, caja de 40mm, movimiento automático Seiko NH35A (movimiento con muy buen prestigio), cristal mineral, WR de 200 m, fechador a las 3:00, bisel giratorio unidireccional, brazalete con broche de seguridad, y corona roscada. Dicho esto por el precio, creo que no hay mucho que decir en contra.Es un reloj pesado, mismo que te confirma la calidad de los materiales, la lupa no magnifica exageradamente pero si lo suficiente. El brazalete es de eslabones sólidos lo cual lo hace un buen brazalete para mi.Como lo menciono, es un reloj muy accesible en cuanto al precio, de echo obtendrás un reloj con mayor valor al que estarás pagando, la hermeticidad es muy buena, lo eh usado en diferentes situaciones cotidianas, se ha engrasado, ensuciado y no eh tenido el menor problema, solo basta con cepillarlo y lavarlo. Se me ha golpeado en un par de ocasiones (no impactos de alta gravedad) sin verse afectado estéticamente, no hay rasgos de rayas en la caja, cristal ni brazalete.El bisel giratorio (unidireccional) esta perfectamente alineado a las 12 en punto, eh leído en la opinión de muchos que es muy duro el giro de este pero en mi opinión creo que tampoco es un problema ya que esto también ayudara a que no se desajuste fácilmente o que se cambie de posición cuando se le este dando uso.la pasta luminosa no dura mas de 30 o 45 minutos visible, después de ese periodo de tiempo tendrás mas dificultades para poder ver la hora en la obscuridad, si el uso que pretendes darle requiere un tiempo de iluminación mayor entonces creo que deberás buscar otra opción aunque claro, con un costo mayor.En cuanto al movimiento (Seiko NH35A) estoy sorprendido, es muy muy preciso, lo eh estado observando y tiene una variación aproximada de +-5 segundos cada 2 días a diferencia de otro reloj automático que tengo que presenta un adelanto de 1 minuto por día. Es muy sencillo de ajustar la hora y fecha, a diferencia de otros relojes no tienes que estar adelantando 24 horas para que se cambie la fecha ya que lo puedes hacer directamente.Lo único que puedo decir en contra de este reloj es que no me agrado el tamaño de las letras del nombre de la marca en uno de los costados de la caja, no es algo que realmente me moleste, pero… si viene la firma de la marca en la corona, esfera, tapa de la caja, la forma del logo en el segundero y en el seguro del brazalete… ¿Por que colocar el nombre de Invicta en uno de los costados de la caja en ese tamaño?, no creo que era necesario, en lo personal no me gusto, habrá a quien si y es totalmente respetable, pues tambien creo que sus razones habrá tenido la marca.En general es un excelente reloj, dejando fuera lo de la firma en la caja, estoy muy satisfecho con el en todos los demás aspectos y características, es un reloj ampliamente recomendable por todo lo que ofrece Invicta en el, ya que dentro de la gama de automáticos de esta y otras marcas con estas especificaciones a este precio, será muy difícil encontrar otro similar.

Prima di tutto, voglio che la gente sappia questo orologio è un orologio stupendo. Perciò, se avete dubbi su questo orologio, vi posso assicurare che è un ottimo prodotto, costruito benissimo e con precisione. Questo a me è arrivato oggi, ma ne possiedo già un altro uguale da un anno…. con Dial e lunetta blù e dettagli Disney topolino davvero molto particolare, e che certamente non poteva mancare nella mia collezione personale…. perciò posso giudicare questo pro-Diver a pieni voti! Si presenta molto elegante, massiccio ma molto leggero al polso…e per quanto sia un bell’ orologio così costruito con precisione e dettagli ben rifiniti, lascia la sensazione di avere un costo molto più elevato rispetto ai poco più di 100,00 € che l’ho pagato. Ragazzi, se siete in cerca di un bell’orologio, con un ottimo meccanismo e bello massiccio come questo, siete nel posto giusto! Se invece, siete alla ricerca di un orologio uguale al Rolex submariner, dovete andare a spendere migliaia di euro in più perché questo è un orologio BELLISSIMO, ma non ha nulla a che vedere con il rolex submariner. A me piace moltissimo, e ho voluto averlo nella mia collezione personale, proprio perché è un orologio originale, che non ha nulla a che vedere con i più blasonati…. certi lo chiamano “Homage ” io invece lo chiamo Invicta pro-Diver 89260B perché è così che si chiama! Lo adoro!! Quanto ai tempi di spedizione, qui sono molto deluso… acquisto in amazon dal 2010, e non ho mai avuto problemi di spedizione…. questa volta ho acquistato questo orologio, che sarebbe dovuto arrivare il 24 Settembre, e invece la spedizione era in ritardo marcio… per di più ho dovuto combattere con il servizio clienti dovendo spiegare l’italiano agli operatori stranieri…. che operano per l’Italia, ma non capiscono la nostra lingua!! Meno male che alla fine mi è arrivata la notifica domenica 29 mattina, dove risultava in consegna e così è stato poco dopo pranzo….. buon acquisto a tutti! 😉🤙
