Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite so impressed by the watch itself. In fact, I think it’s a bit overhyped. Here’s why. Not only did the looks excite me but the omission of the engraving down the side, which brought down the previous Pro Divers in my books.

The idea behind their decision to venture into the watchmaking business was the production of high-quality watches bearing a trusty Swiss-made mark, all at an affordable price. In addition, the goal was to make their watches accessible to the broadest possible customer group. While this may be deceptive, the ridiculous markup prices are easy to see though. Any sensible shopper can determine the true value of an item by comparing prices online. Though, if you can look past the connotation Invicta carries, some of their watches are solid value propositions. Regardless of what model you get, Invicta gives you one hell of a box; for better or worse the watchmaker knows how to treat their customers like royalty. Mine came in a pretty sizeable yellow one, reminiscent of what you get with a Rolex, albeit with swapped colors. While Stuhrling had a similarly extravagant box for its low MSRP, Invicta impressively pulls its weight with the watch’s quality, as you’ll read below. The lugs are brushed diagonally, while the sides of the case are brushed horizontally across. Like many others, I was relieved to see no “INVICTA” script engraved into the side of the case, which was the most common grievance with previous Pro Diver references.

Invicta dedicates special attention to their female fans, as well. A vast Angel collection contains many attractive watches in styles and dimensions suitable to sophisticated ladies’ tastes and wrists. With a gentle 32.5mm in diameter, Lady 14842 is bound to fit on even the most fragile wrists comfortably. Elegant gold-colored stainless steel case, enhanced with six white crystals, powered by Swiss quartz movement shielded by a flame fusion crystal glass stain, and paired with a soft leather brown strap, make this stunning watch one of the most popular Angel models. In 1991, the company was revived under American ownership and has been producing watches since. They’re not shy about flaunting their Swiss heritage, even incorporating the Swiss cross into their logo. Though they do produce watches in Switzerland, many of their watches are also produced in Asia.

Invicta was established in 1837. Translating to “Invincible” in Latin, they were once a prolific watchmaking company. Devastated by the quartz crisis, Invicta was driven to bankruptcy in the 1980s. It must be thanks to one of these features: 18 karats rose gold ion plating on the pushers, crown, and bezel, 100m water resistance, deep blue dial, and four subdials, all powered by a Japanese quartz movement.
