Invicta Pro Diver Stainless Steel Men's Automatic Watch - 40mm

Product Information

In the introduction, I asked three questions regarding the Invicta Pro Diver – is it good enough, will it last long enough, and is it worth buying? Despite its high water resistance level, the watch isn’t ISO-certified for professional diving. It means it hasn’t been tested in real conditions in the sea but in still water in the laboratory. It may withstand the conditions you’ll face with recreational diving (up to 100ft), but I wouldn’t bet on that.

The 8926, 8926OB, 9937, and 9937OB are very similar watches. Kudos to you for trying to get a straight answer about it.Sizing. The case has a diameter of 40mm whilst the width of the watch band is 20mm. 40mm is just slightly larger than your standard men’s watch at 38mm.

if joy per dollar spent were a factor, these are top watches. they shouldn’t be judged by all the other cr*p Invicta puts out. judged on their own, if you want a great spec, classic style sub that looks good (yes, except for the engraved ‘invicta’ on the side), then this is totally worth it. All the watches in this article have an automatic movement, but there’s a difference in the 9937 and 8926 movements. SII NH35A Sellita is a Swiss movement manufacturer, so some people place a premium on that, and this may be why the 9937 models can’t be found for a cheap price anymore. I’ve been wearing my Invicta Pro Diver 8926OB for several weeks now, and I can’t be happier. It has a nice heft to it (155g), grasps my wrist comfortably, and seems to be very sturdy. The watch isn’t too large to take all the attention, neither is it too small to look awkward on a man’s wrist. The dial is covered with a mineral crystal, which is pretty much the standard in affordable watches. Hoping to get a sapphire instead of a mineral would have been too much to ask for the price point.The NH35 movement is made by Seiko Instruments, which also makes the Seiko watches. They’re a Japanese company making some of the highest-quality watches and movements on the planet. Sellita SW200

The dial is made of a mineral glass which protects the watches chronograph display. The display also features a date indicator with a magnified window. The watch also features luminescent hands which will make it easier to read in the dark. They all have automatic movement, which means they don’t require battery power to run. Instead, the movement (engine inside) is powered by the kinetic motion of your wrist when you casually move around. This means that the watch will stop if you stop wearing it for about 40 hours. On the other hand it produces a smooth weeping of the seconds hand that’s found in most luxury watches. It has a BPH of 21,600 which means that it has a smooth sweep of the second hand at 6 beats per second. The power reserve is a standard 41 hours.The watch is equipped with a Seiko NH35 caliber that has found its way to many microbrand automatic watches. It is a caliber that every respectable watch enthusiast knows. The first thing you’ll notice is the sweeping second’s hand that makes six steps in a second and gives a nice gliding motion. Those of you who have worn only quartz watches will definitely find the sweeping motion the best part of an automatic timepiece. The handset, as well as the hour dots, are equipped with greenish luminosity. It is one of the most important features of a dive watch when reading the time underwater is of critical importance. I did the first image right after strong light exposure, the other one approximately an hour later, and the third one three hours later. The results were disappointing, to say the least. I would have hoped to get a much better luminosity from a diver than from a casual chronograph. To summarize the Invicta Pro Diver review, the 8926OB model has more advantages to it than disadvantages.

The NH35 caliber is therefore equipped with features that watch enthusiasts appreciate the most. Moreover, it keeps an accurate time as well. The best part of the watch is probably the main reason you’re considering it – the 40mm Sub case. Finding a watch that executes the traditional Rolex Submariner case to a high degree is a journey that most watch enthusiasts will find themselves on at some point. Plenty of microbrands offers sub cases and a whole mess of microbrands do as well. OB” stands for “original bezel,” which is the coin-edge (Rolex-Style) bezel, so the 8926OB and 9937OB would have those.

However, what makes my heart beat faster and what I really appreciate in a watch is the automatic movement. And that’s probably the best bit you’ll get with the Invicta Pro Diver 8926OB. Did you know? The OB suffix next to the 8926 stands for Original Bezel, which is the first one they came out with. The other version without the suffix comes with a smoother bezel without the coin-edge design. The 9937 and 9937OB use a Sellita SW200. This is also a reliable movement that’s found in many watches. I’ve been wearing it inside for my daily routine, as well as outside while shoveling snow and taking a walk. The watch is noticeable on a wrist when you want to but stays unnoticeable when you don’t think about it. Another eye-catching element on the dial is the date window with a magnifying glass on top of it. It is a welcoming addition as, without the magnifier, the date window would require very sharp eyesight to read out the numbers.
