Invicta 31290. Is this an Invicta I would recommend? This detailed video will show you all aspects about the watch and hopefully you will be better informed as to what you feel about this watch for just over £100. There is some history behind the brand, the watch this is paying homage to, all the stats and specs, lume time lapse, timegrapher readings, outdoor shots and an over all opinion at the end! I hope you enjoy and If you are not yet subscribed, it will mean a lot if you do! Thank you.
If you love the look of this watch, I have a link below.

Sold out? All your fault Dan. Another good review. This watch is just fine and an excellent price. Comfortable also, nothing wrong with that bracelet. I too had been waiting a long time for it to reappear. Went to find it again a few weeks ago and it was still not available but saw the Coke bezel version showing just two left so grabbed one. Then two days later the 31290 was available again and discounted. I ordered it of course and let a couple of friends know it was back in stock. I'm happy with mine, as I am with the Red and Black bezel (34334) where the 'Automatic' printed in red on the dial is a nice touch. I wonder which colour you ordered yourself? Btw Dan, your 'nature' shots featured in this video are excellent.

First, I will state that I like this watch. For the life of me, I cannot figure out all the hype for this model. I have 2 Invicta watches, a Pro Diver and a Grand Diver. So, my thoughts...it is nice, but nothing great. Nothing special (to cause worldwide sell out panic) because it did. LOL Compare it to a Steeldive at the same price and I would take the SD. It is handsome, but not precious. Thank you for the great and unbiased review. Love your channel!!!

I kept looking in on Invicta Europe’s website and as soon as they got some Invicta 1953 watches in I ordered one and received it last week. It’s a gorgeous watch and the first thing I did was to remove the bracelet and add a Bond Nato strap. I bought 6 Nato straps from Amazon UK and what I love about them is that at 10 1/2 inches long they are a perfect length without the need to tuck the end back in the keeper which adds unsightly bulk to the strap. I thought that at €120.00 it is good value. The lack of lume doesn’t bother me in the slightest as I virtually never want to look at the time in total darkness.

I learnt less than a month now about invicta There is something about invicta watches. I think it's not because only its quality build but the history behind it. 1837,Swiss origin, now American ownership, Japanese movt, Chinese Manufacturing, Malaysia assemby. What a combination.!!! I bought 3 of them now ,all homages. Received the submariner 40mm version with NH35. Waiting to receive a SW200 Swiss movt and a Daytona Planning go buy 1953.hopefully the last one 😀.

Good review sir. This is the only Invicta that attracts my attention and is a homage i absolutely like, because it's from a truly historic piece (and pretty much impossible to get as well!). Homages of the current Submariner references are pretty much cliché by now. Another good point is that the basic Rolex design suits very well the concept of a dive watch.

Amazing watch!! I got the 1953 in black-satin bezel and the 1953 Batman (black-blue bezel)! I have to say that you get a lot of watch for the money. People do not realize that! I also owe two Rolex GMT Masters (1993 and 2007 respectively), but I treat them all like my babies despite of the huge price difference and and materials used. Invicta simply make solid automatic watches. Love Invicta!!

I reckon if they tweaked the standard 1953 with a bit of red on the dial (the 1953 AUTOMATIC), gold indices on the bezel and a flash of red on the bezel triangle it’d be perfect.

Beautiful watch, so elegant for a diver, very solid and reliable NH-35A which is very accurate out of the box ( have two, one runs at minus 2/3 secs per day &my all black runs at minus 3/4 secs per day) Personally I wish they'd put a better bracelet on it and sold it for a little more but the bracelet is serviceable. It looks great on a nato, worth spending a little more to put it on a seatbelt weave. Really looks classy, gets a lot of interest. There's also the all black version plus a few with two tone bezel inserts (three I think) buy one quick because stocks are very low, Invicta Store EU only had two left when I bought mine (Amazon had sold out) and on eBay they sell for £250 plus! The only very slight negative is the lume, which is the usual standard for Invicta, pretty underwhelming. Why they don't put decent lume on their watches I just don't know. It's one of the main criticisms of their watches, decent lume would get them alot of brownie points in many people's eyes I think.

The Invicta 1953(Ref 31290) is a homage to what at the time was an unnamed Rolly prototype diver introduced at Baselworld 1953(hence the 1953 logo on the dial) which would become the ref 6204 Submariner, which was introduced for the first time to the public and made available for purchase at Baselworld 1954. It's funny cuz the wrap on the 1953 bracelet is it's "Jingly jangly" loose, however as a former Certified Master Horologist and Certified Rolex Independent Service/Repair Horologist before they brought that in-house with their regional RRC's, I've worked on hundreds of Rollies and four 6204's(yah, I kept a notebook of every single watch that I worked on across my 9+ years as a Master. Anyhoo, the old Rolly stainless steel Oyster bracelets were "jingly jangly," well into the early 2000's, with the 11610/hole, lol. That is really cool that it has that same feeling as the original 6205🤙. My only bitch on the 1983(for those that have a laundry list, please remember that it's a 99 goddamn dollar watch, lol🤪) is that for a few pennies, literally, they could've put the domed crystal per the original Sub 6204, and that would have put it over the top. I don't know if you can pick up an aftermarket domed acrylic crystal though if they do offer them, if ya really wanna take your 1983 to the top floor, pick one up!! And NO, DO NOT add a sapphire Crystal if available cuz this is a homage and the Sub 6204 used acrylic crystal, not sapphire!! Nice vid🤙 Continued Success🍻 RP

7:00 Just to correct you on this, it's actually an optical illusion created by the crystal. The supposed "gap" looks exactly the same if you turn the watch around 180 degrees face-up of course, the dial is perfectly centered around the watch's rehaught. This particular model is one of the best-looking vintage-inspired watches out there today and is a hundred times better in every way than the original Rolex it's paying homage to when it (the Sub) first came out, minus the lume. Excellent review by the way.

It is a really good looking watch. But check it out. Try setting you lift angle to 53 degrees. That's the nh35 setting and it makes a difference in the amplitude. Maybe not much, but some. Also make sure it has a full wind, that can raise it as well. Now the beat error, oh that beat error. That looks pretty bad. If it were my watch, I'd have that caseback off and be tinkering like hell with it, lol. It's not hard to adjust beat error if you are experienced messing with that stuff. If not, don't try. It's so easy to damage the hairspring right next to it, the hairspring is SO sensitive. A strong fart will turn it into trash. Anyways, please try those first 2 tips. Thanks for the cool vid!

Quite fascinating a model like this can coexist with all those other ridiculous things Invicta puts out. No mercedes hands, thank's for that. And no engraving on the case!

What is better value? Invicta 1953 or steeldive 1954? I wanted the invicta when it was sold out but after I saw specs of the steeldive 1954, the lume, lumed ceramic bezel insert, sapphire crystal. I want new daily driver.

The steeldive is better value. Sapphire, ceramic and same movement. Lume is on another level too.

It's cheaper then the vintage San Martin 6200 Water Ghost. Only the San Martin's one is all round of the much better quality; Sapphire cristal, a superb lume, a vintage style bracelet, very good clasp and 38mm diameter make it really a better choice than Invicta 1953.

Bloody sold out. Had to opt for the Batman bezel instead. Looks like an Invicta Blackbay 58 homage to me and I love it. Would have loved the snowflake hands but might have been a bridge too far!

This is my first time viewing your channel and first time seeing anything about an Invicta watch of any type. Your channel is pretty good. Good content. The watch... well to tell the truth. The watch is pretty bad. The same QC as Seiko these days. Rather high beat error, low amplitude, bezel not aligned, dial not aligned. For 150 usd for this watch? Plenty of better options out there. Sorry this would be a pass for me.

I have both this watch (only with the "Batman" blue black bezel) and the original 8926ob pro diver. The lume on the 1953 that I have is actually fantastic. Not Seiko or Rolex, but pretty damn good. The 8926ob lume is straight rubbish though, I'll give you.

I am lucky enough to have a Invicta 8926ob from over 10 years ago. I assure you it seems much brighter than the current pro divers. I got. 8928 recently and it seems like the lume is much weaker and is as described where it lasts 10 ish minutes and isn't usable. My older watch glows all night. I have a 1953 inbound. Hopefully it is better than the recent 8928 lume

Nice detailed review! Sure it looks great, but after seeing those QC issues, terrible lume and poorly regulated movement, it has became a whole lot less desirable. I think it’s overpriced, too. Especially, when the 8926OB can be had for almost half that price.

I like it but, like the two Invictas that I own, it falls short in many areas. Also, the price is not that attractive, in my opinion. My Mickey Mouse Pro-diver, that cost half the price, is my students’ favourite by far ... outstripping my Tudor and Omega hands-down.
