An undeniable force to be reckoned with, the Invicta Men's 1517 I Force Collection Chronograph Strap Watch is the wonderful marriage of style and superior functionality. This rugged timepiece begins with a round 45mm black ion-plated stainless steel case with a fixed bezel and a prominent textured crown on the left side of the case with two pushers. These elements surround a dashing black dial, which is protected by a hardened mineral crystal and functions white Arabic numeral hour markers with a stenciled appear and luminous hands powered by reliable Japanese quartz movement. The dial also characteristics three chronograph sub-dials offering 60-second, 60-minute and 1/10th-of-a-second sub-dials, a tachymeter scale on the inner bezel and a date display window at the four 'o clock position. A black cloth strap with leather backing keeps this watch on the wrist, when a buckle clasp ensures its secure placement. Ultimately, this watch boasts water resistance up to 330 feet (100 meters). A stellar addition to any watch collection, do not let this Invicta slip by means of your hands.

Buyer Critiques


My husband currently had one Invicta watch and was thrilled to receive this watch. He loves the sleek black style and the band that makes it possible for the watch to match for both casual and formal wear.

Like the watch due to the fact it has great large Arabic numbers. I have half a dozen Invictas so I guess I am a fan. Black case is sweet and the crown on the left implies no additional digging into my left wrist! Most of my other Invictas do not have a second hand that runs devoid of pushing a chrono button. This 1 ticks off the seconds around the face like a normal watch - retro cool. I would have preferred a white face with the black case, but that choice is not available - but then you have to deal with white hands against a white face, and most likely black numerals that would be hard to illuminate. I would have liked to seen orange tipped hands as well. (or some contrasting color scheme)
Do not know why they covered a nice leather band with cloth materials that make the band appear like a child's watch. A person named it "technofiber".
The crown does not screw down as other diver watches. This worries me so I will not be swimming or showering with it. Possibly some new technology?
Pros:
Straightforward to read face
Black case and black buckle
Water resistance
Significant size
Really good searching - gets compliments
Chronograph functions
Crown and pushers on the left
EZ set date
Really good luminosity on the dial and hands
Paid less than one particular Benjamin when it was on sale with no tax or shipping
Cons:
Cloth on best of true leather?
Date window is also tiny for this huge of a watch face - could use a magnify window
Crown is NOT screw down, so I will not be diving with this
Try to obtain a replacement leather strap with a black buckle!
