Invicta Pro Diver Stainless Steel Men's Automatic Watch - 40mm

Product Information

The Pro Diver 8926OB offers a classic and timeless aesthetic that is reminiscent of high-end luxury watches. Its stainless steel case and bracelet exude a sense of durability and elegance, making it suitable for both formal occasions and everyday wear. The watch features a unidirectional rotating bezel with a coin edge, adding a touch of sophistication to its overall design. The non-OB models have a scalloped bezel (Omega Seamaster-Style), so that would be the 8926 and 9937. One of the most appealing aspects of the Invicta Pro Diver 8926OB is its affordability. Priced in the mid-range category, it offers exceptional value for money compared to other luxury timepieces on the market. With its high-quality construction and reliable performance, this watch provides an affordable entry point into the world of automatic watches without compromising on style or functionality. The temptation to buy a cheap watch that actually looks many times pricier is difficult to suppress. Why would you have to pay fortunes if you could have a similar-looking piece for a fraction of the price? The availability of the Pro Diver 8926OB through authorized retailers, both online and in physical stores, is also highly appreciated. Potential buyers can easily find this timepiece without long waiting times or limited availability.

The watch resembles probably the most iconic timepiece ever made – the Rolex Submariner. However, if you compare the price tags, several questions arise regarding this watch – is it good enough, will it last long enough, and is it worth buying? You might be used to a battery-powered (“ quartz movement”) watch, but the fact is that most expensive and luxury watches use an automatic movement. It’s not a bad thing in itself that it doesn’t turn easily because a dive watch can’t have an easy-to-turn bezel. Besides, most of us won’t be using it frequently anyway, and it serves more of a visual purpose rather than practical. However, I would’ve preferred a somewhat easier operation of the bezel. This is the part where I feel the gap between the Invicta and the Rolex is the largest. This is not particularly surprising when comparing products that have such a large difference in price. They specialise in making ridiculously cheap watches that offer decent value in their price category at the cost of literally everything else.Not everyone wishes to go for the most obvious choice, which is the silver 40mm 8926OB model. The good news is that Invicta offers a plethora of other options for various tastes. While you already know that both watches come with a Japanese automatic movement, it is also worth noting that both models use the same caliber in their movement. If you still find yourself hunting the Submariner look and don’t find yourself satisfied with one of the many options available from Seiko you can also try modifying certain parts of the watch to your liking. This is a rabbit hole that allows you to express yourself, really get to know your watch, and is budget friendly. Can the Invicta 8926ob live up to the Rolex Submariner?

If you are finding it hard to choose between these two models, then you have come to the right place. Beyond the objective elements of this watch we will also briefly dwell on the bigger picture that may influence your decision on whether you think an Invicta 8926OB may be the right watch for you. Style & Differences: Invicta 8926ob vs Rolex SubmarinerThe Invicta Pro Diver (Reference: 8926OB) is a remarkable timepiece that combines style, functionality, and affordability. Released in 2011, this iconic watch has gained immense popularity among watch enthusiasts and casual wearers alike. With its sleek design and reliable performance, it has become a staple in the Invicta Pro Diver collection. I have to admit that a 40mm size is a tad too small for my personal taste (my wrist measures 7.3in). I prefer watches that stay anywhere between 42-44mm. Of course, it’s a matter of taste, and mine leans towards the bigger end of the specter. So, ignore my biased opinion here and try out yourself. The Invicta Pro Diver Series 24760 model is also a great choice as the only main difference between the model and the 8926OB timepiece is the price.
