I'm like a little kid. I like pictures.

 

I'm an adult. I don't like Invicta pictures.

 

Invicta...Perpetual calendar...minute repeater... I almost fell out of my chair. Then realized we are talking quartz.
Looks like it's powered by Miyota 6760/6U60 movement, that can be found in some Citizens and Bulovas. Considering all the features and sapphire crystal it's not a bad value proposition (assuming you paid Amazon price).

How is the readability on it? Seems like dials are pretty tiny and hands are not easiest to read.
With quartz - I expect that if there are no initial issues - Invicta is just as fine as most quartz in this price range. Unlikely to have any issues w Miyota movement assuming initial QC passes on the rest of the watch.

All things considered - it's not a bad way to achieve some cool complications on a budget (mechanical equivalent would cost 200X, but then again complexity involved is quite different from quartz). Enjoy it.

PS. Invicta just could not help themselves. Amazon description has: "The timepiece contains a specially designed caliber hand made in Japan for Invicta."

Does dumpster diving through the QC fails count? :-d

 

It is a 47mm with a Citizen 6765 non-eco drive quartz movement. Same as the Bulova machinist. The Bulova is $500+ and the Citizen usually goes for around the $2000+range. I picked it up for $343.95

 

Assuming the quality of the watch is decent, that's a great deal. That movement will cost you $3000 in a Campanola. To be honest I could see myself buying that!

 

That's kinda why I bought it, or should I say My wife for our anniversary.

 

This is the same watch but a Citizen on eBay. It's on eBay for $2250,used.

 

It's a nice looking watch. I wasn't aware that Invicta made pieces along these lines. Enjoy!

 

Mechanical = Horology
Quartz = Technology

If you like it then that's great. But from a personal perspective a have a lot of pieces of technology that can recognise leap years and that can make a noise.

 

And the horological equivalent of said post =

 

That's a nice looking Invicta. Isn't the seconds hand straight from the new Precisionists though?

 

The Citizen campanola, bulova and the invicta all have the citizen movement.

 

Just got the new watch. Very nice!A good size too , not too big but not too small. Setting it is , how would I say, "A pain in the A#$!!" I found the Citizen instructions and it is 61 pages looooong! They do call it an "ebook" after all. Mine is the black w/white face. I'll try and post a pic.

But once it's set there's not much left to do. Have you been playing around with the dancing hands? They're so cute.

 

Ha had this watch for a couple weeks now. Had to get help from Citizen to set it as it is a Citizen movement and as are most Citizen multi function watches they are a bit difficult to set. Could not figure out how to set the perpetual calender setting and the am/pm 24hr dial. I looked at me other perpetual calender watch and it was set in the LTM setting master time. Works now. I wish Citizen would design a simpler way to do setting things. Not to big but not to small. 44mm. Alligator strap. Very happy!
