Invicta Mens Watch – A World of Choices
My favorite Invicta mens watch is my current one which is the Invicta Men’s Subaqua Collection Gold-Tone Chronograph Watch #5515. I love this watch and so I should, because it cost me a small fortune. I think I paid just a little north of 2 grand for it. Though I know you can get it cheaper now. Drat!

Invicta watches have a really long history as a Swiss watch maker. In fact, Invicta watch company was founded in 1837. So this is a really distinguished and old watch company. As an example they are about 11 years older than another very well known brand called Omega watches. Omega was founded in 1848. And you know just how expensive Omega watches are.
In fact, you can get a really nice Invicta men’s watch for a tenth of the price of a comparable (in my opinion) Omega or Rolex. Now I’m not saying I’d always prefer an Invicta automatic watch over an Omega or Rolex. But until I’m earning the really big bucks, I don’t see how you can go wrong with a nice Invicta pro diver watch.
In fact, you might not know this, but the Invicta pro diver watch is designed after both the Omega Seamaster and the Rolex Submariner. Both of these watches are classics of course. And so is the Invicta pro diver, or so I would argue.
I have an Invicta Professsional Diver Mens Two Tone Automatic Watch 8928 which a lot of people have mistaken for the Rolex Blue Submariner Oyster Watch. The neat thing is, I only paid around a hundred bucks or so for mine, whereas that Rolex Blue Submariner goes for over 10 grand. That’s a lot of cheddar. And my watch is heavy and feels solid. More than that, it’s been super reliable, and you really can’t tell the difference between my Invicta mens watch and the Rolex.
The Invicta pro diver watch that I own uses a Japanese automatic movement. But unless you are a purest, I don’t think that this makes very much of a difference to the accuracy or quality of the watch. In fact, Japanese quartz movement watches are often more accurate. But that’s for another day.
Anyway, as I was saying, Invicta mens watch company has been around longer than Omega, which is cool. What’s also cool is that they are now owned by an American investment firm who has moved their headquarters to Hollywood, Florida. Crazy. But there movements on these Invicta watches are still made in Switzerland or Japan, so you’ll have to check the brand you’re interested in if that is important to you.
