On the Wrist, from off the Cuff: Invicta – Pro Diver ‘1953’ (31290), A 'Good' $100 Invicta?!?!?!

On this episode we take a look at a watch with a lot of potential from an unexpected manufacturer. Yes, this 40mm, automatic, vintage Rolex Submariner inspired diver is from... Invicta! Even more surprising, it's actually pretty good for the money. There's a screw-down crown for a confident 200m of water resistance and even a display caseback showcasing its Seiko powered movement, they even threw on some high polished bevels for good measure. Heck, it even has a nice even 20mm lug width, meaning a swap to a vintage Tropic-style rubber, fabric NATO, or even distressed leather strap will quickly have the '1953' feeling like a great daily mechanical beater.
