While I’m not a huge fan of invicta, don’t completely hate them either....this one really sang to me.

40mm
Seiko auto movement
20mm lugs


Here’s a stock. Should land on Friday.

Nice looking watch. Maybe if they provided decent lume, I would consider an Invicta.

Brand name crushed into case side?

Nice! No cyclops. No mercedes hands. OB bezel? What's the model number and where did you find it?

But...Out of Stock...

 

[Slant]

Not bad looking. Kinda douchy on their part to price it $98 USD just under the $99 and up free shipping...

Good question on if it’s in the side. I’ll let you guys know / upload some pics Friday.

Got mine from the shophq

Does this have a phantom date position for the crown, or the movement modified to remove that?

Anyone has a lume shot?

Pretty nice, it reminds me of the Tudor BB.

I like it especially without that nasty Invicta logo. Shame they don't seem to be available anywhere.

Not bad considering its probably been "reduced" from $2,000

Nicest looking Invicta I've seen so far though to be fair.

 

[Negakinu]

First Invicta I'd buy, but only because it's such a "safe" design and doesn't look like a late 'nineties goa rave on the wrist.

Anyone has a lume shot?

Right here, Invicta Black Hole Lume, light goes in never comes out.:think:

Maybe the watch comes with an ultraviolet googles so you can see the lume.

I can confirm that this new Invicta does NOT have the Invicta logo emblazoned on the side of the case. Nice!

You can see it yourself (as well as a lot more of the watch) in the video that's embedded in the ShopHQ page to which mb8780 linked, above (and reposted below):

https://www.shophq.com/Product/673-631?icid=OnAirLastPg1-Invicta%20Watches-673-631&cm_re=OnAirLastPg1-Invicta%20Watches-673-631

You'll also see that, unlike the 8926OB, the new watch has brushed sides and a polished bevel. All in all, it's very tasteful.

Yes, yes, insert obligatory Invicta joke, nod and wink. But a watch with these specs and style at this price . . . this is the antithesis of what we criticize the company for, so credit where credit is due (though the lume probably still sucks, ha!).

Fingers crossed that the watch, in-person, will be as good as it appears on paper and video. Looking forward to your review, mb8780!

p.s. edit: Looks like code SAVE20 applies a 20% discount, making this watch a whopping $72 before shipping and tax.

I’m anxious to hear people’s thoughts once they get it in hand - it has potential to be pretty rad.

After watching the video and seeing more of the case, it does remind me of an Invictanated NTH Carolina.

I wonder if they’ll apply some of the cool factor back to a crown guards case.

Can't wait to start seeing the mods on this...
