Invicta Pro Diver 4469 Review
by Idaho on Oct.22, 2009, under Reviews
The Invicta Pro Diver 4469 is all that an Invicta or Swiss divers watch fan wants. The watch has a big case, is all Swiss made, has a new design making it a living legend.
The Case:
This watch is made from a solid block of stainless steel; it has a 43mm case, which makes this watch stand out from the average dive watches, which are normally 38mm to 40mm. Bigger watches are the latest trend and this is indeed a big sexy dive watch. The watch is curved which makes it fit the wrist perfectly.
The Dial:
Some people don’t like mother of pearl, I dislike it two, but not in this watch, the MOP is very nice and it shines only when its necessary, is mainly black. The markers are amazing, they remind me of the “maxi dial”, and the big markers make the dial look very good. The date magnifier is excellent, better than any other Invicta model, perfectly centered in the middle.
And one of the most important features of the watch is the “Swiss Made” printed on the dial.
The Bracelet:
An important feature on this Invicta Pro Diver 4469 is the bracelet, which has solid end links and a high quality clasp. The brushed/polished look is normal for Invicta divers, it looks great, but is very easy to scratch.
The solid end links are a big upgrade over the regular divers and gives the watch a more solid and high quality look.
The Crown:
The crown on this watch is very nicely placed is one of the easiest to use crown ever, super big, very easy to grip and to turn, perfect crown on this watch.
The Bezel:
This watch has the beloved “coin edge bezel”, it’s the most easy to use, looks great and its classic, and Invicta did a great job on the 4469, it is all polished and pops like diamonds when the lights hit it, looks simply amazing.
The luminescent dot at the “12” is missing, some people might not like that, for me it isn’t a big deal as I will never go diving and don’t really have a use for it.
The Case-back:
We all know that when it comes to case-backs, Invicta is an expert, and this watch isn’t an exception. Displaying all the relevant information about the Invicta Pro Diver 4469 watch; such as “Sapphire”, “W.R. 300 meters”, and “Automatic Movement”. The case-back on this watch is simply stunning.
The movement is on this watch Sellita SW200 and is very accurate. This movement has been used in a lot of other Swiss brands such as Breitling and Oris.
The rotor is nicely decorated with Invicta engraved in it and has a grey tone.
Conclusion:
This is a well made Swiss watch, it has all the features of much more expensive watches. It looks extremely good on the wrist and gets a lot of compliments.
This watch is not in the Rolex, Omega or Tag Heuer league, but it has so many of the same features. You could easily pay $5,000 for a Submariner or $2,000 for a Seamaster or you get to hold this timepiece in your hands for just $380.
Its decorated case-back and movement, the 43mm size, the hands, its coin edge bezel, the solid bracelet and its price makes the Invicta Pro Diver 4469 an instant winner.
