Invicta Pro Diver 52mm sil/blue mod 33018 men’s wristwatch.

If you are looking for a large everyday wearer that allows time telling at a glance and sits beautifully on the wrist courteous of a wide supple silicone strap then this piece would have to be on your short list.

At 52 mm in dia this is a large timepiece made quite manageable by being only 15mm thick. The large Arabic and stick silver indices sit in stark contrast to the bright blue dial allowing time telling at a glance. Large hour and minute hands are finished in white lume, outlined in silver. The main sweep seconds hand is finished in silver.

The Russian Diver bell helmet sits in the 12 o’clock position with the date register taking pride of place inside the helmet. Invicta insist on calling quite a few of their newer models Pro Divers but for all intense and purposes if it displays a bell helmet then it is a Russian Diver.

Three sub dials support chronograph functions of the Seiko VD53 Japanese engine, timing elapsed seconds, minutes and a 24 hr clock. The crown and function pushers can be found on the right hand side of the case with a screw down canister covering the crown assisting the timepiece to achieve a water resistance rating of up to 100 metres. A retention chain connects the canister to the case via the bottom pusher.

A minor case in point in respect of the canister. Invicta design most of their crown protectors to be able to screw down over an open crown spindle. This allows the canister to protect the crown when it is disengaged for battery saving when the watch is not in use. A small thing perhaps but important for those of us with multiple watches wanting to battery save.

The open style 26 mm lug width allows for various straps to be easily acquired and swapped out on this piece, making it even more versatile. Watch is new with tag and plastics attached. Comes in an Invicta Presentation case and will be sent free via Express Post within the land of Oz.

I have a No Return setting on my listings in an effort to combat unethical buyers returning items at will for no good reason thus increasing prices for the rest of us. If you have an issue with any of my watches please contact me for resolution.

All watches listed by me are in stock here in Australia and will be sent to purchasers within 24 hours of purchase.

I have been fielding enquiries recently in relation to the authenticity of the watches I sell and also customers wanting all plastics removed from the watches when being photographed.

Firstly all my watches are certainly authentic. I do not sell, replica watches all though I do know that replica Invicta's do exist as I have myself unknowingly purchase a couple. My advice is not to buy Invicta watches where the country of origin is China. Having said that both replica's I purchased were from the United States, obviously marketed through Chinese affiliates in that country. Try to buy from reputable sellers.

If I describe a watch as new, then it is new and generally is wrapped in the manufacture's plastics. I do remove and replace some but not all of these plastics for photographic clarity. Most of my customers prefer an unmolested product where plastics are concerned however if you are genuine in your enquiry and prefer that all plastics be removed for photographic purposes then contact me and I will oblige.
