The forgotten rare Invicta

This was a gift many years ago and still runs great
I don't think this model was made very long or they were forced to stop making it by rolex.
Anyone have info on this pro diver

Forgotten is a good description. Slight jab aside, I don’t know anything about invicta but the consensus here is not favorable. Before any bashing ensues, don’t take it personally. I know several folks who own them, and are mighty damn proud to have one. They aren’t watch collectors and have them as their 1 and only nice watch. IMO there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

It's not a bad-looking watch, as compared to many Invictas out there. If it has a decent movement, wear in good health!

But as for value, I can't imagine you'd get much for it.

And yes it's more attractive then their other obnoxious watches

They’re still made today. Been updated into a 38mm case and aimed at a fashion forward demographic.



The version you have was discontinued but for low demand reasons. The iconic Invicta Bluesy mopped up all the demand in the fashion diver segment.




All of them were powered by Hattori or Seiko pc32 quartz movements.

I have a Pro Diver 8926OB which I bought in 2007 & it still runs fine. I prefer Squale 1545 which has an ETA-2824-2 movement and will last a lifetime.
