Amazon.com Product Description
Classic styling and high performance add up to an outstanding sport
watch for your land or sea adventures. This two-tone automatic watch,
from Invicta's Pro Diver series, places a large round stainless steel
case on a robust steel bracelet with gold-plated center links. The
electric blue dial is designed for quick and easy read-off, even in low
light conditions. It offers three-hand function with luminous hands and
markers and a magnified date display at the three o'clock position. The
detailed hands, in Mercedes, sword, and breguet-style logo shapes, add
a note of distinction. The dial is capped with a resilient mineral
crystal and framed by a blue unidirectional rotating steel bezel with
goldtone markings and coin edge detailing. This watch is driven by
Japanese automatic movement, which is visible through the see-through
skeleton caseback. It is rated water resistant to a full 200 meters.
Pro Diver Collection
Plunge into any horizon using the steadfast guidance of the Invicta Pro
Diver. Stylishly classic, internal workings are forged with variations

Pro Diver the quintessential in performance.

Invicta 8928 - When style and quality aren't enough
I really like this watch for everyday wear! This was my first
Invicta watch purchase. I am HARD on watches - some last less than a
year before they fail or break or fall out of favor.
I've become a great fan of Invicta Sports watches. Invicta is to
Seiko what Infiniti is to Nissan. Better quality, design and
engineering - more attractive styling at a great price.
I chose this model 8928 for a match to my University ring and
school colors. This is a VERY attractive watch. With a Japanese
auto-wind movement (visable through mineral glass transparent back),
water resistance to 660 feet (I've had it to 130 ft with no problems) -
superior quality on fit and finish - it makes a striking statement on
your wrist. It looks (intentionally) very much like a Rolex Submariner
(who watch collectors qualify as a very good $800 watch that sells for
$3,000!).
Things I like:
1. VERY attractive timepiece - striking design and engineering
2. Fit, finish, style and quality are superior to more expensive watches
3. A great diving watch for a great price
4. Transparent mineral glass watch back reduces chance of skin irritation for wear every day
5. Two tone stainless wrist band is high quality, attractive and comfortable
6. Timekeeping is tolerably accurate for an autowind
7. No batteries
8. Watch movement should last 4-5 years before major servicing
9. Watch face magnifier for date
Things I'd like to see improve
1. Power reserve - watch will wind down if not worn every other day
2. Requires a seperate watch "autowinder" to keep time and date if not worn daily
3. NOT a chronometer - time must be adjusted monthly after "break-in" period
4. 23k gold plate links on wristband prone to scratching
5. Too inexpensive to invest in a 4-5 year major maintenance - buy another one?
The Invicta sports model series 8926 (all stainless) diving watch
has been their franchise for many years. All 89xx series are attactive
well made watches that look much more expensive than they are.
I've seen prices from $118 to $155 for this model - all merchants
claiming low price. Be careful of a vendors reliability and customer
service. Invicta may not honor its warranty from gray market merchants.
If not an authorized dealer - be sure the seller offers an in-house
warranty that promises fast turnaround on repair.
The Invicta 8928 is an attractive, low cost, high quality time piece. You can't go wrong with this model.

Invicta 8928OB (old bezel)
Opened the box, and it looked just like the picture. If you look
for OB on the Invicta site, you won't find it. Stands for "old bezel"
design. I guess Rx thought it looked too much like their's. The current
bezel is more scalloped. As a diver, I like the OB as it is easier to
move when your fingers are wet. I'll update if the gold starts to come
off or if anything else goes wrong, but for now, I give this a: Buy it
Now!
GREAT WATCH ON ITS OWN - PRICE A HUGE BONUS
Take all of the positive and extensive reviews of this watch, roll
them into one, and you have my review. I'm writing mainly to offset the
one star review: I spent 50 cents and less than a minute at a country
jeweler to have two iinks removed. Most jewelers whom you do business
with will take out links free so why mail the watch off? This is an
outstanding watch!
