Resistance: 30 ATM - 300 meters - 1,000 ft. About Automatic
Movements Exhibition case backs make for great complications.
This is especially true when they display automatic movements.
Automatic movements stem from mechanical movements with one key
difference: a mechanism automatically winds the timepiece's
mainspring as sed to forcing the wearer to manually wind.
This occurs thanks to a weighted rotor that spins on its own
axis, continually charging the mainspring. Timepieces with
automatic movements are meant to be appreciated for the
craftsmanship and complex aesthetic that they provide and are a
must-have for any watch enthusiast!
Classically styled with powerful lines and featuring a precise
Japanese watch movement, the shock-resistant Invicta Grand Diver
men's stainless steel watch is made for serious scuba fanatics
with a water resistance rating to 300 meters (nearly 1000 feet).
This large, round watch measures 47mm wide (1.85 inches) and 17mm
thick (0.67 inches) and it's made from solid surgical grade
stainless steel. It also offers a skeleton see-through caseback
and molded diving helmet logos on the end pieces connecting the
silver stainless steel bracelet band as well as on the screw-down
crown. It's topped by a blue unidirectional rotating elapsed time
bezel with white markings. The blue dial face is supplemented by
Tritnite luminous dotted markers and arrowhead-style hands (with
seconds hand). Other features include an anti-reflective crystal
with magnifier, date function at 3 o'clock, and diver's buckle
with safety clasp.
Pro Diver Collection
Plunge into any horizon using the steadfast guidance of the
Invicta Pro Diver. Stylishly classic, internal workings are
forged with variations of either Swiss chronograph or 21-jewel
automatic movements and willingly navigate in depths up to 300
meters. Built with confident prowess, the fortitude with which
these timepieces function makes the Pro Diver the quintessential
in performance.
Screw Down Crowns: Many Invicta watches are equipped with a screw
down crown to help prevent water infiltration. This is most
common on our Diver models. In order to adjust the date and/or
time on such a watch, you must first unscrew the crown before you
can gently pull it out to its first or second click stop
position. To do this, simply rotate the crown counterclockwise
until it springs open. When you have finished setting the watch,
the crown must then be pushed in and screwed back in tightly. Not
doing so will cancel the water resistance of the watch and will
void all warranties from the manufacturer. Overall, this process
should not require a lot of effort or force.
Automatic Watches
Automatic watches donot operate on batteries. Automatic watches
are made up of about 130 or more parts that work together to tell
time. Automatic movements mark the passage of time by a series of
gear mechanisms, and are wound by the movement of your wrist as
you wear it. The gear train then transmits the power to the
escapement, which distributes the impulses, turning the balance
wheel. The balance wheel is the time regulating organ of a
mechanical watch, which vibrates on a spiral hairspring.
Lengthening or shortening the balance spring makes the balance
wheel go faster or slower to advance or retard the watch. The
travel of the balance wheel from one extreme to the other and
back again is called oscillation. Lastly, automatic movements
come in different types, including movements that are Swiss-made,
Japanese-made, and more.
Also referred to as self-winding, watches with automatic
movements utilize kinetic energy, the swinging of your arm, to
provide energy to an oscillating rotor to keep the watch ticking.
They're considered more satisfying to watch collectors
(horologists) because of the engineering artistry that goes into
the hundreds of parts that make up the movement. If you do not
wear an automatic watch consistently (for about 8 to 12 hours a
day), you can keep the watch powered with a watch winder (a great
gift for collectors).
