Stylishly appointed for your professional life during the workweek, the Invicta Pro Diver Offshore stainless steel men's automatic watch is also built rugged enough for professional dives with a confidence-boosting water resistance to 300 meters (1000 feet). It features a two-tone design, with a silver stainless steel watch case that's matched to a stainless steel bracelet band with a gold-tone center link. It's topped by an 18 karat yellow gold unidirectional bezel with brown plating, gold-tone elapsed time markings, a Tritnite luminous zero-set point, and coin-edged detailing. The brown dial offers Tritnite luminous hour markers and Arabic numerals at the quarter hours, luminous sword-style hands (with seconds hand), and a date window at 3 o'clock. This watch measures 51mm wide (2 inches), which includes the grooved, gold-tone crown, and it measures 15mm thick (0.6 inches). Other features include a secure fold-over safety clasp, an anti-reflective mineral crystal, and Japanese automatic timing movement.
An automatic (or self-winding) watch is fitted with a device (rotor) that automatically winds the spring by using the force of gravity. It needs no battery, but it will stop if you have been physically inactive for an extended period of time--as long as you're moving, the watch will stay powered. Swiss watchmaker Abraham-Louis Perrelet invented the self-winding mechanism in 1770. It worked on the same principle as a modern pedometer, and was designed to wind as the owner walked.
Tritnite is a luminous material with an extended glow exclusively developed by Invicta in Switzerland and added to their timepiece hands and markers. When exposed to regular daylight, it will hold its glow for about 20 hours.
About Invicta
Latin for "invincible," Invicta was founded in La Chaux-de-fonds, Switzerland in 1837 by Raphael Picard, who believed that fine Swiss timepieces could be offered at modest prices. For more than a century, the company has created distinctive manual and automatic-winding pieces. In 1991, descendants of the Picard family reaffirmed the company's founding principle, and the invigorated Invicta has been growing ever since with one of the most widely diverse collections of precise Swiss timepieces on the market.
