My second bite at the juicy cherry that is the Invicta 1953. When I looked at it last April, it was genuinely smoking hot. This time around, not so much, but still a great way to spend $100 if you want a very attractive, and nicely rounded retro diver. Cheers, Jody

Thanks Jody for advocating inverted mid links for end links on the past couple of videos. For a guy with a 6 inch (15.2cm) wrist, inverted mid links help, a lot.

Although I’m somewhat of a “watch mod virgin”, I’ve recently modded my Invicta 1953 and replaced the mineral crystal with a flat sapphire crystal. It doesn’t really look any different than it did originally but the knowledge that it has a sapphire crystal does make a big difference.

[@Pachequiux]

Im wanted to do that for a while… how did you did it???

[@rogerauclair1670]

@@Pachequiux I watched other people like Jody Musgrove (Just One More Watch) and Dan Dodson (Watch Me With Watches) to see how they did it. When I felt confident enough, I bought a crystal press and a sapphire crystal specifically for the Invicta 1953. You will need to remove the back of the watch, remove the stem and crown which allows you to remove the automatic movement. Pop off the mineral crystal and attach the sapphire crystal then put the watch back together. I’ve put a sapphire crystal on the 1953 and also 2 Casio Duros. You really need to watch how it is done on KZbin, there are quite a few videos showing the process. The 2 Casios have a double domed sapphire crystal which makes them look fantastic.

[@JamesStephen710]

please enlighten us on how you did that

I have the original black bezel version of this watch. I bought it on a lark and to be honest I haven't been disappointed. For a sub-$100 watch it's got good specs and the build quality is better than I expected.

[@firefighter387]

Hi, I've had this 1953 black bezel model since it came out last year, I pre ordered it with Invicta Europe and I think it is the best Invicta they have produced to date. Mine only gains about 5 seconds a week.

[@robvale7692]

🤣🤣 why do you buy trash?

[@lowersaxon]

Thanks for a balanced and fair Invicta review. I own the classic black bezel steel version and I must say the watch doesnt stop to fascinate me.

[@RichardKoppinger]

I have this exact watch. I was disappointed that ShopHQ didn't have the original since I never got a chance to buy one after it was released. I went with the red and thought about the blue, but decided one was enough. What I like most about this one is the bezel action. It's much easier to use than my other Pro Divers, and certainly easier than the ones with the scalloped bezels. This has a much better feel; way easier to grip. It's definitely one of the best, if not THE best in the Pro Diver line. Thanks for the review.

[@martincallery8862]

Don't know if it was a marketing ploy by Invicta to make this watch so elusive when it came out, but if it was, it worked. Was desperate to get one and did so when it became more readily available. Really pleased with it. Beautiful and bombproof! Nice review J.

Personally I think Vostok’s Amphibia makes a more compelling case as a sub $100 retro dive watch.

[@jacobgreenmanedlion1863]

@@gordanbabic8028 Vostoks are not a myth; they are quite real. If you are talking about the quality of the watches, funnily enough they are less of a myth than Seiko, the lower to mid range of which, at least, is frankly crappy. My basis is the ownership or possession (I ran a vintage watch sales business 20 years ago) of something north of 100 Seikos of various vintages, and I actually was a partner in an authorized dealer of Vostoks in the US that folded with death of the original Poljot concern (which was the bulk of our business). Amphibias back then were not insanely great watches by any stretch, (Poljots were, though) but at the $50 we sold them for, they were all you could ask for. Twenty years on most of the glaring quality issues have been solved, most notably the galvanic corrosion issues caused by the chrome-plated brass crown and bezel (which are now stainless in current production), and unlike just about EVERY other name brand watch available then and now the price has only followed inflation in terms of increases; $50 then is about $75 now- despite the quality improvements. Some even have livable bracelets now! Just for clarity: I was a partner in a Russian import firm in the early 2000s. I have thought about trying to sell a self branded Amphibia as a sort of Amphibia SE Plus. I do not currently import or sell Vostok products, nor am I employed by somebody who does. I do buy them from time to time as essentially disposable beater watches, which is what you can expect the nature of any sub-$100 mechanical to be, from Vostok or otherwise. Quality sub-$100 mechanical watches died with the First Moscow Watch Factory (Poljot) in 2004. The Vostok 2416 is capable of being quality, but in the standard found in basic Amphibias, it is not.

[@gordanbabic8028]

@@jacobgreenmanedlion1863 I appreciate your high-volume experience, just saying from my own user experience that my amphibia after just one summer season ended up with stuck bezel and stuck winding wand. all my other cheap dive watches are doing fine and are rust free (Casio Duro, two g-shocks and Orient Mako II)

[@rogerauclair1670]

Last year I kept checking Invicta Europe for the black bezel Invicta 1953 and for months it was unavailable until one day it was temporarily available so I snapped one up immediately. As I live in the UK, it arrived from Invicta Europe two days later. It looks great with its vintage style and unguarded crown and of the three Invicta watches that I have, this is by far the most accurate, running about +3 to +5 seconds a day.

Thanks Jody! I have a green and black bezel 1953. It is a nice looking watch and easy to wear!

[@marcelodietrich8674]

Very well done! Here's something: This Invicta is a homage of the prototype of the yet-to-be named dive watch by Rolex (-hence no Submariner at the 6 position). Zodiac with their Sea Wolf, and Blancpain with their Fifty-Fathoms, first introduced the first commercially available dive watches at Baselworld in 1953. (According to some accounts, Zodiac released the Sea Wolf just prior to this event. Rolex, that same year, showed ONLY a prototype of their yet-to-be named dive watch. It wasn't until Baselworld in 1955, that Rolex Submariner made available their dive watch for commercial purchase.

The invicta 9937 is also a hot dive watch imo. Solid end links and a machined clasp on the bracelet, as well as thicker links. But all this with a sellita sw200 for a usual price of US $180, makes this a winner and another invicta homage worth considering imo.

I use it with a Royal Blue nylon single pass nylon strap, or a Navy and Ehite striped G10, or a grey G10, very Admiralty. It’s beautiful. Reminds me of a Tudor Black Bay.

[@ozludo]

They get credit for leaving-off the hood ornament logo. The San Martin is about $200 more - with confidence and the right gear it makes sense to mod the Invicta. Bezel insert, maybe a repro milsub dial and sword hands - you're still ahead and the Invicta has a pretty rotor. Bonus! This is a bargain either way.

[@icalexander]

I wanted the OG one variant but honestly the bicolour ones are really growing on me, debated getting a coke and tossing it on a dark leather strap for a "rum and coke" look (my grandfather's drink of choice), that said I'm thinking the black and green variant on a yellow dive strap will be my choice, and yes I know it'll be loud but it's the colours of the Jamaican flag the country where my paternal side of my family were all born and lived until 1977 when they came to Canada. Figure wearing something with the colours of the flag is a great way to remember my grandparents (they are both deceased, my grandpa in 09 my grandma just this past january) I've already bought a swatch that invokes memories of Jamaica (the 34mm couer de mangue) and reminds me of my grandma as she had a large collection of swatch watches (she'd buy one from the duty free cart on every trip they took) and I figure between that and a diver (that I'll actually wear to Jamaica to scatter their ashes) it's 2 more modern things I can use on a more regular basis as a lot of the other momentos I have are things like pictures, some paintings, my grandpa's vintage camera and his checkerboard which are all amazing but given their age are somewhat delicate. Sorry for the ramble I just think this thing is an amazing watch and I can see why it's so popular. Now that I'm thinking of it I may just buy both and have 2 different looks

Hello, 2am here in California, happy Sunday.

[@tarasmathers7423]

Completely agree w/ your assessment. Well Jody, IDK if you've seen it or not, (or if you're even interested) but Invicta have now "thrown their hats in the ring" on the traditional sized, stainless steel, integrated bracelet (Royal Oak esk) model trend, we've seen as of recent. These are part of their "Reserve Collection," so they should be made a little better than the average ("should" being the operative word there😄), and it's also part of their "Slim" line of models, w/ a thickness of just 7mm. They have a Ronda 1062 quartz movement in them, which I'd never heard of before. I didn't know that Ronda even made "ultra-thin" movements. Seems they're launching a whole range of these puppies, w/ diameters in both 42mm and 46mm. Some in all silvertone, some 2-tone, and some all yellow gold. Personally if I were to pick one up, I would grab the all silvertone version #41052. Just more my style. It looks as if they've taken most of the styling cues from the Tissot, "PRX," and oddly enough, maybe the crown from the Cartier, "Tank." The coin-edge style bezel maybe something you'd see on a flieger. Hope this helps. Cheers

I'd like it a lot if the Invicta logo on the dial was scaled down to like 70%.

In my collection of more palatable Invicta's I have two that are engraved, never see it when I wear it. Quit worrying so much what other people think. It sure doesn't ruin it for me. IMO YMMV

Got the cheapest one (green bezel). Replaced the bezel insert with an all black with a red triangle, and replaced the dial with a vintage style gilt seiko dial. Instantly looks 3x its price
