Invicta Men's 3298 II Collection Gold-Tone Automatic Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm not sure that the picture shows this watch in all of its amazing beauty.This Invicta is stunning.The golden face perfectly complements the gold links (which aren't too orange or fake-gold color).The blue band around the face is the final touch.Magnificent.

This watch is also larger than a "regular" watch--significently larger, enough so that it really stands out on the wrist without being goofy looking as some of the really big gaudy watches that are in style today.I'm thrilled with this watch, and I'm sure I will be for years to come.A tremendous buy and worth every penny.

Product Description:
Slip on this Invicta stainless steel men's automatic watch when you feel the need for speed. Powerfully styled, this sporty gold-tone watch is topped by a blue unidirectional rotating bezel with white tachymeter readings, which can be used to measure time over distance. The gold-tone watch case and bracelet band are made from solid 316L surgical grade stainless steel, a low-carbon, nickel-free variant that has a higher resistance to corrosion and is hypoallergenic. The champagne dial features a textured center, large silver-outlined hands and markers (both with Tritnite luminosity), and a magnified day and date window at 3 o'clock. Other features include a screw-down crown, deployment-clasp, scratch-resistant mineral crystal with anti-reflective coating, and water resistance to 200 meters--suitable for scuba diving.

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). In the wake of up to the minute technology, optimal construction, and a spectrum of inventive design choices you will find the Invicta II collection. Priced to demand attention, no technological or creative rock has been left unturned in order to create such an impeccable example of the ultimate in function and fashion. Invicta II offers a myriad of enticing options including applied indexes, up markers, double-dial dual timers, leather straps, carbon-fiber dials, retrograde chronographs, and moon phase registers. Having fused brains and good looks at a stellar price, the Invicta II is the perfect collection to indulge in all your watch fantasies.
