When buying a watch you should look for casings that are stainless steel. Choosing a case for a watch is a critical option because it holds the tiny pieces that make the watch work. Stainless steel provides qualities such as durability, stain-resistant, sturdiness, and quality performance. For a mid-range watch, this is not an expensive material compared to Rolex who uses titanium cases. Movement The strap size is 20 mm. and stainless steel. This type of strap is water resistance and is better than other regular straps since it doesn’t tarnish and is durable. The two most significant cons I faced were the almost non-existent luminosity and the rattling noise of the bracelet.

The single most faked watch in the world is the legendary Rolex Submariner. This is understandable since it also is the most desirable watch in the world. When it comes to comparable watches for the Invicta Pro Diver (Reference: 8926OB), there are a few options that stand out in terms of style, quality, and affordability. One such option is the Seiko SKX007, a renowned dive watch that has gained a cult following among watch enthusiasts.The watch has Seiko NH35A Automatic Self Winding Movement. This is a 24-jewel movement where the second-hand stops when you set the time. Because of this, it will be much better synchronization. Canvas Strap Invicta’s 8926ob is good value for money, but the brand has a copycat reputation, uses cheap materials, and there are better Submariner alternatives at similar prices (such as the Seiko 5 range). The dial is covered with a mineral crystal, which is pretty much the standard in affordable watches. Hoping to get a sapphire instead of a mineral would have been too much to ask for the price point. What sets the Pro Diver 8926OB apart is its affordability. It offers exceptional value for money compared to other luxury timepieces on the market. With its high-quality construction and reliable performance, this watch serves as an affordable entry point into the world of automatic watches without compromising on style or functionality.

All the watches in this article have an automatic movement, but there’s a difference in the 9937 and 8926 movements. SII NH35AThis is the most popular generic insert sold in the world. They are available in many colors and styles from many sources. Functionality-wise, the Pro Diver 8926OB offers a water resistance of up to 200 meters (660 feet), making it suitable for various water activities. The luminous hands and markers ensure excellent visibility even in low-light conditions, further enhancing its practicality. From my own experience, I can say that the Invicta 8926OB is definitely worth purchasing, especially considering the unbelievable price that gets you a Submariner lookalike with an NH35 automatic caliber. For the price, the watch offers more than you can wish for. And although I have worn it for only a couple of weeks, the whole construction and the prestige of the caliber suggests a long lifetime.

But Invicta does not just copy watches, they also copy the boxes they are sent out in. To find more about this you can google their Plasticase lawsuit. Here Invicta was, allegedly, sent multiple possible case designs they had commissioned only to reject them and then use the designs to produce them cheaper elsewhere. Having seen the pictures of the original box and the copy of Invicta I have to say that I believe their talents in copying boxes way surpass those of copying watches. Homage is a fancy word to describe a watch that does everything that a fake would do without outright being a counterfeit product. The watch is equipped with a stainless-steel strap which is a nice addition since this watch is water resistant. This does not tarnish and if you compare to other brands stainless steel provides better quality than leather straps. Price Point There are approximately 180 serrations on the inside of the bezel, but the manufacturing process will not allow for an exact number.My distaste for Invicta goes way beyond them deciding to engage in the least creative segment of the entire industry. Unlike a dedicated and focused homage brand like Steinhart, Invicta has no shame in copying anything that is vaguely successful or currently in trend. This goes beyond the Submariner and ranges all the way from the Timex Weekender, which is ironically cheaper than the Invicta copy, to the Konstantin Chaykin. Being the company who is meticulous when it comes to the case construction, Invicta is recognized as masters of case complications. Being masters in case making is not enough, they also provide exceptional engineering in each of their watches that delivers outstanding performance. Now, Invicta Watch Group has grown about 30 different collections that are out in the market. OB” stands for “original bezel,” which is the coin-edge (Rolex-Style) bezel, so the 8926OB and 9937OB would have those. This is another quite luxurious looking watch from Invicta that’s actually really affordable. It’s part of their Speedway series which feature some of the next most popular Invicta watches vs the Pro Diver series. The dial design really stands out on this watch, that texturing makes the watch look a lot more expensive than it is. As with the other watches, I think they’ve done really well with this two-tone finish. The watch uses a Japanese Quartz movement, has luminescent hands & hour markers, and also has a stop watch function. To top it off it still comes with an impressive 200m water resistance.

I did the first image right after strong light exposure, the other one approximately an hour later, and the third one three hours later. The results were disappointing, to say the least. I would have hoped to get a much better luminosity from a diver than from a casual chronograph.The 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. Copying and riding the design of another expensive watch is like plainly stealing and it just shows that they don’t have unique designs that can help the company stand out from other watch models. They specialise in making ridiculously cheap watches that offer decent value in their price category at the cost of literally everything else. 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.
