Invicta Men's Aviator Analog Display Japanese Quartz Watch

I recently purchased the Invicta Model: 22970 (wrote an Amazon review) when I came across it at my local Costco store. It's the exact same watch as this 17203 except all metal components, including the bezel, are silver and it has a beautiful blue face with all white graphics. However before purchasing the 22970, I looked on Amazon to see what information might be available. In doing so I came across this 17203 and just had to get it. The 22970 filled the niche in my collection for a silver bracelet, blue faced watch. I'd been looking for a long time but hadn't come across "the one" with the right blue, right design, etc. until I saw the 22970 at Costco. It's also less "standoutish" and makes a great everyday watch for that reason. However this 17203 is not as "standoutish" as I thought it would be. It's a beautiful big, heavy watch which I love, just like the 22970, and they both have a unique aviator design. In fact this line of aviators doesn't look like any other watch I've ever seen. No numeric markings other than the 10, 20, 40 & 50, two dials that perfectly resemble aircraft instrumentation gauges, uniquely shaped date and minute windows and the fact it looks like Invicta sat a large round watch into a sculpted base. The colors used on the face, and how they're used is outstanding, and I still get a beautiful blue face. To give some idea of what I think of Invicta watches, the 22970 was my first Invicta, however I now own a total of four. I have the 22970, this 17203, a blue faced left handed I-Force and a blue and gold faced Pro Diver. Another unique fact is the chronometer function differs with each. Pressing the top pusher on the two aviators starts the chronometer, however the 1/10th second hand only rotates during the first minute then stops, however it continues keeping track. Pressing the top pusher a second time stops the chronometer and, at that point, the 1/10th second hand will advance to whatever the reading is. On the I-Force, pressing the bottom pusher starts and stops the chronometer however the 1/10th second hand doesn't stop after a minute. And with the Pro Diver, the large second hand doesn't work for keeping time, the small second dial does that. The large second hand is used for the chronometer function only and, again, the chronometer starts and stops using the top pusher. This 17203 Aviator is a beautiful timepiece. Invicta's use of color with this watch is fantastic, as you can see from the photos, however it's the first watch I've owned that uses rose gold and it really is much more subtle than yellow gold. In fact I think this watch could also serve as a daily wearer if someone was so inclined. Just as an FYI, I have a 7" circumference wrist and had to remove 5 links to get the bracelet to fit. I love the size and weight of this watch and, based on reviews I've read for various Invicta styles, I expect it to give good service for years to come. One last thing, if you're uncomfortable with strangers commenting on your watches, I wouldn't get this one because I've received at least one comment every time I've worn it.

I love this watch. The only down side as with other watches is its complication run down the battery in a year. There is not an Alkaline battery for its.

Very nice looking and versatile. He said he gets plenty of compliments on it.

This is a well-made product. It is heavy and weight beautiful this is one of 42 watch collection. This brand is true to its craftsmanship and quality. Looks can be deceiving because in the picture it looks like a simple watch, but it is not.

It's a heavy and robust watch. A little big for me. Chronograph works fine and the rose gold color is nice. Worth the price.

👍

Nice

Un reloj que se siente de calidad y es bonito

Es bonito pero bastante generoso (grande ancho y altura) y tiene una legibilidad algo complicada 😅, pero funciona correctamente y de lejos es muy bonito.

This is a very nice watch and got it for less than $60

El reloj funciona perfecto. Es un poco pesado y los botones rozan en el reverso de la mano si lo llevas un poco suelto.

Big and heavy, looks great on my wrist, always wanted to buy Invicta watch, lots of compliments on a recent holiday will definitely be buying another Invicta watch soon.

Excellent as always.
