I have no doubt that some Invicta Pro Divers can hit 200M without issue. I know Invicta says it’s rated for 200M, but honestly at this price point it’s one of those “you get what you pay for” situations. The NH35 has proven itself for many years to be reliable and dependable enough to be used in way too many watches for me to recall right now. But what I knew wouldn’t surprise me is this movement. The quality and finishing of the watch thus far actually did surprise me. This right here is one of the most remarkable things about the watch. The Invicta Pro Diver (8926OB) features the automatic NH35A (a non-branded 4R35 from Seiko).

I could try and use some pliers to bend the sides of the flip lock out slightly (so they don’t scrape as much), but I’d prefer not to mess with it too much. In order to open it I really have to force it and I can see little scrape marks on the clasp from where the flip lock is rubbing against it. The main issue I’m having though is that the flip lock is really stiff once it clicks in. There are also micro-adjustments here on the clasp, which I found very helpful as I was sizing the Invicta Pro Diver’s bracelet. The clasp here is pretty standard – double locking with the main clasp action being the friction fit and the folding lock clicking on top of that. There are some where the dimensions are larger than normal – some have crazy colors going on – some mix Seamaster hands in a Rolex case – and some horological war crimes exists that I don’t want to even bring up. Over the years I’ve seen so many different takes on the Sub case that it jaded me to the hunt for a long time. The approach that Invicta takes here is one that I’ve honestly come to appreciate wholeheartedly: if it ain’t broke – don’t fix it. The machining is solid and the finishing is done well (much better than some other brands charging 6X). What I can say is that the Sub case on the Invicta Pro Diver 8926OB is executed really well. Plenty of microbrands offers sub cases and a whole mess of microbrands do as well. Finding a watch that executes the traditional Rolex Submariner case to a high degree is a journey that most watch enthusiasts will find themselves on at some point. The best part of the watch is probably the main reason you’re considering it – the 40mm Sub case.

There are aspects I find incredible about it but there is also one thing that makes my blood boil. The Invicta Pro Diver’s case is a tug-of-war of extremes for me.
