When it comes to the Invicta, it’s no longer only a watch hunt. The process is affected by ideas of what a watch should be and brand stigma.

This deprives you of the most valuable details of your watch hunt. Your happiness and the watch itself. Your watch-collecting journey should not be hard.

It should not alter your sense. This review is for you. Hence, if you want to buy the Invicta men’s pro diver 8926OB.

To answer a question, Invicta had focused only on the watch itself. Both as a collection of its parts and as a result of its construction.

So here we are giving you an answer to your question.

How good is the Invicta Pro Diver?

Case of Invicta Men’s Pro Diver Watch

For me, the Invicta Pro Diver case is a tough battle. There are things that according to me are amazing, but there are also things that make me angry.

The best part about the watch is likely the main reason you think about it. The 40mm subcase.

Finding a watch that works well like a traditional Rolex Submariner case is a journey. Most watch lovers end up on this journey.

Subcase of Invicta Men’s Pro Diver Watch

All I can say is that the Invicta Pro Diver 8926OB sub-case is very well made. The construction of the watch is solid.

The finishing is well done (much better than other brands).

The point of view taken by Invicta here is something I’ve come to appreciate in all honesty. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.

Over the years I have seen so many different approaches to subcases.

At a diameter of 40 millimeters approximately. A lug-to-lug of 44 millimeters. Approximately with a thickness of 14mm. The Invicta Pro Diver has it all.

These classic features along with the timeless case shape, fit the wrist very well. No fuss, no adjustments, no cheers.

Once you’ll put the Invicta Pro Diver on your wrist, everything will be fine.

Crown

The crown diameter is a good 7mm. So if you like to wind your watch by hand like most people, do it. Don’t look for a small crown.

The sides of the Invicta Pro Diver 8926OB case are shiny. While the top of the lugs is coated for a textured contrast.

The case back is bright and polished. The case back has a window display for movement.

Bezel

Surprisingly, the Invicta Pro Diver’s aluminum bezel is also pretty solid. At this price, you would expect the bezel to feel breakable or cheap.

But in this case, we found the bezel to be worth the price.It can be a little unstable with every click. But honestly, At around $70, I don’t think this will be the best bezel ever.

Yet, I have to say that the quality certainly came as a surprise.
Very easy to wear for coffee at work or to plan a midday break.

Besides the good points, I have to confess here.

I don’t like the Invicta logo around the side of the Pro Diver case. It doesn’t have to be there, and its inclusion reduces the love for the watch.

The dial

Again, we’re dealing with almost 1 dial. It Comes with 1 sub. if you’re thinking to buy the Invicta Pro Diver watch.

The quality of craftsmanship is worth checking out. It was a little surprising to find the markings in place. As well as the Invicta logo and the brand name “INVICTA” below.

Markers, hands, logos, and brand names have a good finish with clear details. When these Invicta Pro Diver dial elements are under light; they look very appealing.

The Compass Rose markings (12, 3, 9) give it a little more sophisticated look.

The compass rose markings add up to the look more than the other markings featured on the Invicta Pro Diver.

This depends on their ability to capture light better.

According to me, this is due to the almost large surface area. A round marker can appear a little too small because it’s not as noticeable as it should be.

The small markers are no problem. Smaller markers mean less brightness. Also, less nightglow usage saves money.

This means that it will affect the inexpensiveness of the watch.

Indeed, the glitter is not that great. The use is uncertain between the marker and the needle. This makes it appear in a little different color.

You’ll notice that the hands light up more often than the markers.

Bracelet

The Invicta Pro Diver strap has a lug width of 20mm. This narrows down to approximately 18mm at the clasp.

It is incredibly well-balanced and extremely comfortable.
The polished center link is amazing. The end links are not so useful. This isn’t surprising all in all the Invicta’s price.

The rest of the links feel pretty solid – more than I expected. No “hollow” or tiny feel is found in some super cheap bracelets.

The quality of the bracelet is great, as is the case. The coated surface of the bracelet is clean and very attractive.

Also, the edges of the strap are not as sharp and polished as other brands. The clasp here is pretty classic – double locking.

With the main locking action being a press fit and the folding lock snapping. There’s also a twist to the clasp here.

This was very helpful when sizing the strap for the Invicta Pro Diver.

The main problem I have, however, is that the flip lock is very stiff when attached. You have to use real force to open it.

You can see a small scratch on the clasp where the flip-lock rubs. You can try using a pair of pinchers to bend the sides of the clasp a little outward (so you don’t scratch it).

Movement

The Invicta Pro Diver (8926OB) has an automatic NH35A. This is one of the watch’s most notable features.

I have been pretty impressed with the quality and workmanship of the watch so far.

But what I knew, was not a surprise, was this move. The NH35 has proven reliable over the years. Many watches consider it to be reliable.

Then what makes the NH35 unique??

It is the Invicta Pro Diver is that there are no other watches with this movement in Invicta’s price range.

Watches in the $60-$80 price range don’t give you such a reliable automatic movement.

Getting such an amazing movement in such a price range is an incredible value.

Many microbrands include the NH35A in their watches. Then range it in price from $300 to $500.

I know there’s a lot more to this pricing than the movement.
Come on, let’s be honest, we’re not looking at micro brands here.

We’re trying to find a good watch. So far, we have not noticed any major regulatory or timing issues with the Pro Diver.

The high-level specifications of the NH35A movement are:
1) 41 hours of power reserve
2) -20/ +40 seconds per day
3) Manual winding and automatic winding

Can I go diving with the Invicta Pro Diver?

This is a questionable issue. In all honesty, if you plan on diving. I will suggest getting a watch that’s tested and rated in tough diving conditions.

But, if you’re worried about your watch getting a wet or little wet, that’s fine. The case back is secured.

The crown is secured and everything seems solid concerning fit and finish. (Unless you forget to put the crown back on).

I know Invicta says it’s priced at $200 million. Yet at this price, it’s where you get what you pay for. There’s no question that some Invicta Pro Divers can reach 200m with ease.

But for a price under $100, it’s difficult to cover all parts of the diving conditions. That said, never take water resistance for granted.

If you want water resistance, wear a real dive watch. Some people take a look at the Invicta Pro Diver 8926OB.

Because they want a watch that includes the ultra-classic subcase.

INVICTA 8926OB VS ROLEX SUBMARINER

Other than the Swiss Made quality. This quality is built-in in every Rolex.

what is the difference between the Submariner and the 8926ob?

First off, the water resistance. The Rolex submariner has a water resistance of 300m. Invicta has a water resistance of 200m.

Some of you might think, “Okay, there is only a gap of 100 meters, what’s the difference then? ”

This will make a difference when doing deep dives.

The entire styling is very similar. The Invicta’s bezel numbering doesn’t have a 10. After 15 he has a dot every minute.

While Rolex Submariner is a famous cyclopean magnifier with a date window.

The feature is absent in all versions of Invicta. The Submariner’s crown guards are a bit smaller lugs are narrower on the Invicta.

Let’s talk about the main problem here. Invicta didn’t do any magic to create this stunning design themselves.

This watch is clear concerning the good old Rolex Submariner.

I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. After all, most of us can’t buy a Rolex for many reasons.

All I wanted was to clarify that there are many similarities.

The hour and minute markers, position and style of dial hands and letters, Bezel style and main markings,3-piece stainless steel bracelet.

Crown and crown guard.

Of course, there are also some differences. They are not the same. But most important are the specs and the price.

Rolex has a handcrafted Swiss automatic movement with sapphire glass. Sapphire glass is one of the best materials used for watchmaking.

As they are transparent and also durable. The Invicta also has an automatic movement.

But it’s only mineral grade and of course lower quality. But who’s going to discuss the details when he’s talking about the $10,000 version for 100 or so?

Conclusion

In case you are looking to buy a good quality watch for an affordable price. This is the perfect deal for you.

Finding a 40mm sub-case is a personal decision based on looks.I’m interested in the looks of the Invicta Pro Diver.

My point is that the reason you might regret buying this watch is that the looks don’t match the quality. The quality is surprisingly high for the value.
