Invicta 1953 (Asia Mechanical Watch Group)

Big thanks to Josh, check his channel and tell him I sent you.

I bought one of these when they first came out and immediately swapped the crystal with a double dome sapphire. It really brought the watch to a new level. Crystals made for an SKX007 are a perfect fit for this watch.

[@sprinkles512]

i want to do this exact thing but i feel like it would be super expensive to do. I dont have any watch tools. What would you recommend to do this without tools?

[@elarson312]

Those watches represent the one day that the Invicta Design group wasn’t hallucinating.

[@waterzap99]

Do think it's a lot more fun working as an Invicta designer than a Rolex designer. Rolex designer...we increased the case by 0.5 mm. Invicta designer. Hey, why don't we put a chain around the bezel. And diamonds. And make it green and big.

[@SaSpursFan]

Not much “design” when you do a homage

[@geebsctown4427]

You say Invicta has ruined it’s image by making big ugly watches. Invicta owns a shopping channel where they sale more watches than anyone. If that’s your idea of a ruined image, I say from a business stand point no one beats Invicta’s marketing team.

[@TheSilvertrigger]

It uses a very good movement. my Invicta with the nh35a has lasted 6 years and still keeps good time.

[@christopherjohnson4276]

Making 300 of a decent watch. Insane.

[@jstrat121]

Omega?

[@ccw5886]

Its so cool. Knocked it out of the park with the original version.

[@ricardochaveste7367]

I have both of the models you reviewing, love them both ...

[@abmorose6531]

They actually looked pretty decent,I cant believe this 😱 . Great video Rob

[@a_z.tazzzfan8497]

Nice pieces for the $$. I remember almost buying one when they first came out but didn't. I started looking again during this video. Had that cool green/black bezel you mentioned in the cart at that foreign website. Then, you mentioned Invicta might make a model with a date...Then, it clicked why I didn't buy it way back when. These watches have the NH35. Damn 👻 pull on the crown 🧐

[@thetruth495]

I've got the black PVD one and it's a very decent watch for peanuts. The NH35 movement must have been modified because mine runs -1 secs a day, which is insane for such a cheap watch.

[@HorologyinSanity]

Great video! I learned more about those watches than I knew before, despite being the owner of them. 😂 Thanks for the shoutout too btw!

[@levmelamed6125]

In the late 90s, early 2000s Invicta made bigger selection of much nicer watches. In 2001 I've bought 42 mm watch wit Unitas movement, beautiful watch...

[@yankeexpress]

Got all 3 versions of the AMWG model 1953…the Blue bezel, the Coke bezel and green/black bezel. Along with the other variations, there are a total of nine 1953 versions TMK.

[@davidcrandall1285]

Nine? Can you describe them or post pictures

[@Rob-on5tz]

Nice looking in black and with no Invicta engraved along the case. Definitely a good looking watch that looks way more than it is.

[@Donnybrook10]

I don't typically like NATO straps but that one works. So does the leather strap.

[@rogerauclair1670]

The cross design inside a diamond that appears on the Invicta 1953 crown is indeed an Invicta logo, on the normal Pro Diver it appears on the watch face, above the word “Invicta” and also a very microscopic version on the second hand counterbalance, not to mention the crown..

[@ricardoparada2267]

Siempre he buscado el Invicta(31290)...Una maravilla de Reloj...Tiene maquinaria Seiko??...Saludos de Chile...

[@ericwhitlow7364]

The only Invicta I’ve actually liked the look of.

[@indramatic]

I'm exactly the guy you're talking about: my first mechanical automatic was Invicta's sub homage. Decent watch it is. But the question I ask myself is: do I really want to buy another Invicta or I'd rather invest in something else?

[@chrisoconnor3119]

That is where it begins my friend! Same but now at 8 mechanical..

[@waterzap99]

Now you go for the real one. Not the homage.

[@SaSpursFan]

Same! I got rid of it bc I didn’t like how it felt when somebody with an actual Rolex mistakenly thought i had one too but then realized it was a clone....it was awkward

[@davidcrandall1285]

What do you mean 8 or 9?

[@davidcrandall4958]

@@SaSpursFan I would have been very proud!

[@davidcrandall1285]

I have never seen the blue bezel before! Asia what?

[@jefferyneu3915]

I am shocked by the quality!

[@pbuehner]

I just can't get past the Invicta name at this point. It is going to be hard for them to move upscale IMHO.

[@robc8468]

It is a great looking watch with a very decent movement and minimal branding. Looks fine next to my Hamilton Orient and Tissot watches.

[@paulkleijzen1317]

Rob anyway to skip ahead to the Axios Pathfinder?

I have bought several variations which were not limited!

What is the Asia mechanical watch group?

[@mariog7213]

I had the first 1953. It’s a nice watch but it just didn’t do it for me. I flipped it and got the orient Neptune instead

[@davidcrandall4958]

what Is AWMG?

[@certainly2509]

Invicta should add a ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal and better lume. Then they will have something really good. Invicta are you listening?

[@certainly2509]

@Riki Perolina why can't we have a homage watch with modern materials? After all we can have the best of both worlds. Heritage styling with modern touches. I don't want an acrylic crystal like many vintage watches for example. I want sapphire, etc...so I extend that to include ceramic bezel as opposed to original acrylic bezel or more current aluminum bezel.

[@certainly2509]

@Riki Perolina Stainless steel bezel would be nice. I didn't think of that.China would do it for much less money too. Too bad Invicta probably won't makes these changes. I would be willing to pay more for a watch with upgraded materials. Thanks for the suggestions.👍

[@ehheheh]

shhhhh, keep the cost low. lol

[@ehheheh]

Good luck finding one. They're all limited editions.

[@davidcrandall4958]

No they are not!

[@kevinc1001]

If they put a SW 200 or an ETA 2824 price it around $700 or so and it will sell like hotcakes

[@levmelamed6125]

I have an Invicta Pro Diver chronograph with 7750 movement.

For $799.00

I really like the watch very much, but the lume is terrible, and I need a good lume...
