Amazon.com Product Description
This men’s stainless steel timepiece from Invicta’s Vintage Collection recalls the refined stylings of the 1950s with its handsome metal bracelet and subdued dial. This large, round watch has a thin, flattened bezel that frames the ivory dial face, an oversized bulbous crown, and easy-to-operate chrono pushers. The dial includes three tonal chrono subdials, diamond-shaped markers, Tritnite luminous dauphine hands (with seconds hand), and a date window at 4 o’clock. It’s completed by a quintuple-link stainless steel bracelet band. Other features include Swiss quartz movement, a scratch-resistant mineral crystal, and and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet)–offering protection from accidental splashes as well suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and light recreational diving.
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.

Very Nice by .. JMM ()
I’ve had this watch for about two weeks now, and I really am happy I purchased it. Not sure what Amazon is selling it for now, but was $99.00 when I got it.
It’s a little bigger than watches I normally wear, but is by no means TOO big, just a little differnt than I’m used to. That said, I like it. Band has a very nice polished Stainless look, very solid feeling. Dial is very nice and classy looking. Chronograph seems to work very well, although I do not use it for any serious purpose, so I can’t say if it is up to professional standards etc, but seems good to me.
Like I said the case is a little bigger than I’m used to, but it really sits very nicely. While it is a little larger in overall size, it is not the type that sits very high off your wrist, like some Invictas I’ve seen, where they just look massive. This is more of a sleek, dressy look. It has just enough bling factor to be noticed, however it is not over the top, and still maintains a very respectable feel to it.
Another one to add to the collection!
