Invicta Pro Driver Automatic Blue Dial INV9094/9094 Mens Watch: It Walks The Walk

Clearing a dilemma:

The Invicta Pro Driver Automatic Blue Dial INV9094/9094 Mens Watch so far, has given rise to numerous, much-polarized comments, which makes it one of those very few watches that people love or hate for being what they are. Either way, such an outlook creates a lot of publicity and the Invicta Pro Driver Automatic Blue Dial INV9094/9094 Mens Watch is no exception to the norm but one thing remains common - It’s a well made watch in the affordable luxury segment. That applies to the movement as well as to its surprising build quality.

Part by part:

The case size is just appropriate for outdoor use. Added with the lug lengths, it is 48mm and stands 13mm tall. This is what those who are into slim watches may not like but it’s streamlined to impress all! Consider that there is an automatic movement inside; it’s still thin enough to slip easily under a cuff. Built to resist water up to 200m, both its crown and completely polished case-back with an exhibition window are screw-in types. Snorkeling and shallow-diving, swimming or any other recreational water-frolic is therefore; allowed. You can even dip one in the sea and brag about it later. The mineral crystal (its date magnifier works really well, which is again extremely unusual at this price point) atop allows zero moisture to seep in. Apart from the lug-tops (which are coarsely brushed), rest of the case exhibits a high polish; almost a mirror-like appearance with no tool marks visible.

On one side, there’s the well-guarded, deep and well machined crown with the winged logo embossed on it; on the other, a deeply engraved Invicta Watches that’s easy to spot but not unnecessarily bold to intrude. The depth and precision compare to some of the more expensive brands. The same applies to the rest of markings about various watch specifics, making the Invicta Pro Driver Automatic Blue Dial INV9094/9094 Mens Watch a piece that you wouldn’t expect at this price point. The smooth, gentle, sweeping extensions of the crown guards from the very tip of the lugs to the side of the case reinforce its further.

The deep blue of the reflective, sunburst dial and the bezel insert are same; the latter may be a couple shades lighter. The steel insert marks are standard Submariner-style; a fairly accurately executed affair based upon the classic. The lume pip at 12 is precisely cut and has an excellent strength. Just like the dial-lume. The bezel is knurled around its side to facilitate a firm grip and polished along the edges to match the case. Its action is smooth and the markings align well. For the dial, they are of the applied variety, in one or more pieces –from the logo to the hour markers. The lume fillings and the beveled and polished borders reflect an impressive accuracy towards precision. So do the Mercedes hands, turned by the epic - Seiko NH35A SII! This standard, 24-jeweled, 21,600 bph Seiko workhorse movement received a few upgrades to become highly accurate without the need for a break-in period. It is super reliable too. Ticking 6 times per second, this bi-directional winding, hand-wind and hacking-enabled machine shall exist many summers.

Bottom line: With a love/hate factor arising from its close resemblance with the Rolex Submariner, the Invicta Pro Driver Automatic Mens Watch sits happily on their wrists who don’t wear a watch just for the sake of it.

Casio Analog Digital Tough Solar AQ-S800WD-1EVDF Mens Watch: A Bright, Badass Tool

An outside view:

Sports watches from Casio are hard to beat! Sure, many among the upper range Swiss brands create them but truth is: Very few – even among the wealthy – put them to real use. They are too precious for that; what Casio delivers is equally – if not more – durable and reliable at a fraction of that price. The Casio Analog Digital Tough Solar AQ-S800WD-1EVDF Mens Watch is quite a fine and bright – if not striking - example.

The Youth series is a step down in bulkiness from the G-Shock, while offering almost all the attributes within a slimmer profile and becoming a more urban-friendly watch. The young who are not undergoing any special professional training outdoors will be delighted with the Casio Analog Digital Tough Solar AQ-S800WD-1EVDF Mens Watch. It’s not awkwardly rugged for normal daily use in the city but stylish and trendy in its own way. Great features and greater visibility, it’s a viewer watch that’s almost feather-light.

Looking deeper:

This is a new-age watch with technology to tell you not just the time, but an array of other useful functions that can be widely used in a modern, urban life. World Time is one, the 1/100th-second stopwatch measuring both elapsed and split time is the next; followed by two countdown timers, five daily alarms, day (6 language options), date, hourly chime, a power indicator (helps to realize how much Sun-time is due) and power-saving. The Tough Solar powering system is Casio’s own trick. It is equipped to store 10 months worth of charge; with power-saving mode on, it can be stretched to almost two years.

The full auto-calendar set to year 2099. The time can be viewed either in 12 or a 24-Hour format. You have the option to turn the button operation tone silent.

At an approximate case-size of 47.6 × 42 × 10.6mm, it is too large for limp wrists. The case is made from high density polymer composite and roofed with a mineral crystal. The stainless steel bracelet brings a sharp and rugged - powerfully assertive contrast, defining a territory where the rough engineers for the rugged.

The Neobrite lume of the Casio Mens Watches definitely aids night vision but so does the amber LED. It can be programmed to glow for varying spans, with an afterglow to fade out viewing instead of a sharp snap.

Those who are into interval training; running business in different time zones; in labs and workshops, tracks or shooting ranges shall find the Casio Analog Digital Tough Solar AQ-S800WD-1EVDF Mens Watch an easy tool to carry along.

No, let’s make that the tool-of-the-trades!

Bottom line: This Casio Youth series watch is good for both sports and a daily use. Even for daily, sports use. Strong enough to handle worst of abuses and a design great enough to qualify as a modern urban wear, the Casio Analog Digital Tough Solar Mens Watch is always reliable as a beautiful, stylish combination between fashion and technology.

Orient Star Classic Automatic Power Reserve SAF02003W0 Men’s Watch

Orient, a ‘Star’ among the mid-range:

Orient, a favorite brand to watch collectors and field-men alike, is one of those small handfuls of companies building specialized and very affordable mechanical watches. Despite their extremely low prices, their products are attractive and very well-made. Standing out from the small group of brands that odder various complications, Orient incorporates power-reserve in a unique way into the Orient Star Classic Automatic Power Reserve SAF02003W0 Men’s Watch. It’s higher priced than most of the Orient watches but worth every bit of the extra dollars.

A word of assurance:

For the quality the Orient Star Classic Automatic Power Reserve SAF02003W0 Men’s Watch exhibits, it goes well below some of the most prestigious Swiss and Italian brands regarding its piece. Equally – if not higher – built and finished, the Orient Star Classic Automatic Power Reserve SAF02003W0 Men’s Watch is not merely gorgeous; it is built hard like rock.

Not just a quality automatic; the Orient Star Classic Automatic Power Reserve SAF02003W0 Men’s Watch tucks in an in-house, Japanese made movement, the Orient Caliber 40N52 with a power reserve. Even if we put aside its other aspects, the Star Classic wins for its value!

The way it looks:

At 38.5 x 13.4mm including crystal, the Orient Star Classic Automatic Power Reserve SAF02003W0 Men’s Watch is a moderately sized compared to today’s standards. But the smaller case size doesn’t show and appears rather bigger than its original dimensions if worn with dark colors. It qualifies easily as a vintage-inspired dress piece with a simple case design in standard shape. Its lugs are relatively short and thin and have minimal finishing on them, but drilled. The retro feel also comes due to this and technically, aids in quickly changing the straps. The case surfaces are polished except the lug-tops; their light brushing taking away any extra shine. The crown is typically flat and wide but stepped with the Orient Star signature on it; the grip curving towards a protruding cylinder. It has a sturdy feel and that can be felt while winding the watch.

The mineral crystal emulates the domed acrylic type of the ‘50s and ‘60s but is more durable than acrylic; more scratch resistant and more immune to sudden impacts. Perhaps, it’s the only watch in the price category to offer one.

At the back:

An exhibition case back that shows off the somewhat decorated 40N52 movement. Around the display window are etched the vital information about the watch including water resistance. The decorations, both inside and outside, are rare phenomena that add the charm and value to the piece.

End note:

Exceptionally well executed and styled, the Orient Mens Watches are a hand-windable, vintage themed wrist wear with interesting details laid across a very dynamic backdrop.

Bottom Line: The Orient Star Classic Automatic Power Reserve SAF02003W0 Men’s Watch has a lot more to it and a lot more going on than watches within a similar price bracket. A cool vintage look, an interesting and dynamic dial, an in-house movement – the list stretches quite a bit. The only glitch in this wonderful ensemble is a lack of lume but then again, the Orient Star Classic Automatic Power Reserve Men’s Watch is not at all meant to be used in the dark.

Unlike the first generation Bambino, the Orient 2nd Generation Bambino Classic Automatic FAC00001B0 Men’s Watch allows manual winding and seconds-hacking, allowing precise time-setting and a relief from wearing it to keep it running. So now, you can treat this fine dress watch like one and not as a beater.

The watch tale:

Time to look beyond the rugged sports and tool watches! The Orient 2nd Generation Bambino Classic Automatic FAC00001B0 Men’s Watch is a timepiece that works under a shirt cuff. A dress watch that saves your day when a classier option is needed minus the pinch, there aren’t too many better options present if you are to satisfy both the requirements without paying an atrocious price. Fit to be worn for weddings, job interviews or even at award ceremonies, the Orient 2nd Generation Bambino Classic Automatic FAC00001B0 Men’s Watch is going to delight the true watch lovers also by offering the best price for this entry-level option.

And above all, they stand as a bright example of typical Japanese quality-control despite offering their products at affordable price-points.

Seiko Lord Quartz Chronograph Men’s Watch : Affordable Vintage Looks

That’s a tough argument to hold. For, while some find a solid place in this particular category, others don’t. They win or fail upon how logical they feel when you view through the lens of buck-value. The power of design is never the single real value of watch-making; Seiko latched on it tightly.

So the Lord, as crafted by the inventors of both quartz wristwatch technology (Seiko Astron got the Caliber 35A in 1969, the first wristwatch movement) and the analog quartz chronograph (it was in 1983), has decades of experience packed into it. A high-performance machine disguised behind elegance, the Seiko Lord combines real values of traditional horology with refinement and strength.

There is something innately (or maybe, eerily) magical about the Seiko Lord Quartz Chronograph Men’s Watch. It defies all odds and beats the ‘big boys’ at their own game. However, today’s Seiko Lord Quartz Chronograph Men’s Watch collection is very much unlike the 1960s Seiko Lord Marvel – the story resembles that of David’s and Goliath’s.

The Seiko Lord Quartz Chronograph Men’s Watch has assigned itself to a race with accuracy. As an honest attempt, it has considered a string of factors (other than shock resistance and anti-magnetic properties) with the foremost criteria being the frequency at which the crystal oscillates. The Seiko Lord Quartz Chronograph Men’s Watch is technically superior.

There are no hairspring expansions and contractions or mainspring unwinding or the balance wheel twirling to generate and use power in the Seiko Lord Quartz Chronograph Men’s Watch. There is no see-through case back. There’s only a 7T92 quartz movement that splits seconds to their 1/20th division. Tracking longer time intervals (12 hours) is better with the 7T92. The Seiko Lord Quartz Chronograph Men’s Watch is an useful tool!

Every Seiko Lord Quartz Chronograph Men’s Watch echoes of an undivided focus from Seiko engineers perfecting the utilitarian art of time-telling that was away from massive billboards, proclaiming attainments beforehand. The visual excellence of every Seiko Lord Quartz Chronograph Men’s Watch reflects quietly in their individual details.

The Seiko Watches For Men collection is not of historical importance; not till now. But they are unpredictable contenders that could emerge as tops in the category, punching their way up.

It took Seiko all these years of experience to give the Lord Quartz Chronograph Men’s Watch collection its present form. Seiko’s decades of experience manifests through its way of matching high performance seamlessly to elegant, regal designs and chunky constructions. There are a few rare gems in the Seiko Lord Quartz Chronograph Men’s Watch collection, which embody real values over time. Seiko’s watch making prowess of combining esthetic and technical details harmoniously shows through the Seiko Lord Quartz Chronograph Men’s Watch collection.

In serious notes:

The brand Hamilton is one of them favored by the ‘very choosy’. All these years, they have manufactured many different types. Hamilton watches - many of them – have attained iconic statuses. Nowadays, Hamilton fills-in a considerably large chunk in Swatch Group’s mid-range family. When they design a new watch, they use an inspirational inventory that’s massive; an archive helpful towards direct recreations! With the Hamilton Khaki Pilot Quartz H64611555 Mens Watch, they successfully resurrected a beautiful and elegant, vintage timepiece. Arguably, you don’t need another vintage-styled, expensive-looking quartz watch after this.

The strap situation of the ‘classic aviator design’ Hamilton Khaki Pilot Quartz H64611555 Mens Watch is a lot more comfortable than its contemporaries and delivers an early-‘American Pilot’-feel. The large, easy-to-read dial is surprisingly legible, including the day and the date; the Super Luminova hands glow bright enough to light up the entire dial for the initial couple of hours.

Lighter notes follow:

Anyone with lust for a legit-version of a vintage aviation model must look forward to wear the Hamilton Khaki Pilot Quartz H64611555 Mens Watch while flying. The watch celebrates the spirit of aviation in its boyhood; the flying heritage with roots in the ‘40s and blossoming into the ‘70s. Hamilton used a similar design for the Royal Air Force - the United Kingdom's aerial combat force. The quartz is an easier version to try out first before you go for the automatic chrono- versions of the Hamilton Khaki Pilot Quartz H64611555 Mens Watch, which are essentially big lumps of superbly crafted, high-grade metal.

The Hamilton Khaki Pilot Quartz H64611555 Mens Watch strikes hard with its incredible legibility. Now, it’s expected in any flieger, but bet none’s been this striking! It helps to read at a glance from every angle, any elevation and in just any light. The brushed/polished case finish of the Hamilton Mens Watch facilitates it all the more. It also creates an even blend of bling and finesse. A shining bezel set on a case with a constant gleam! The thick, brown leather strap with its saddle-stitches definitely looks good, but going to look tad wide on less-than-average sized wrists, NATO straps are a nice alternative for the Hamilton Khaki Pilot Quartz H64611555, in that case.

“‘Nuff said!”

The Hamilton Khaki Pilot Quartz H64611555 Mens Watch doesn’t pretend to be an automatic at half the cost. Watch-geeks specifically looking for quartz that endures through ordeals and still looks and feels as good as day one will find it a good classic to be worn easy and free.

Luminox Recon Point Man 8820 Series Swiss Made 200M XL.8832.MI Mens Watch : Serious Stuff To Get You Inspired

Long story short:

The Luminox Recon Point Man 8820 Series Swiss Made 200M XL.8832.MI Mens Watch is an outstanding timepiece from a number of aspects. First one is that it’s delivered in a MOLLE (pronounced /'m?l.li?/; an acronym for Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) case; next, it’s the colors that offer stealth to its truest yet never hampers visibility; third, its ruggedness and fourth, a tachymeter that can measure walking speeds. It is this last point that confirms its Point-man theme.

The origin and utility:

Andrea Micheli, a former Swiss Army Military Security NCO, shared his concepts with Luminox to bring out the RECON Series. He did so under the requests from professional military personnel and this analog watch - a simple but efficient ground navigation tool – saw the daylights.

At a glance:

The Luminox Recon Point Man 8820 Series Swiss Made 200M XL.8832.MI Mens Watch has a colored countdown zone on the dial; an unidirectional ratcheting bezel to time dives, a highly scratch-resistant, non-reflective sapphire crystal, GMT function to track a second time-zone and a walking speed measuring scale that can measure in km/h. The strap houses a fully functional compass, which works independently from the rest of the watch. This new NAV SPC (Navigation Specialist) model from the RECON lineup has a 45mm by 12mm case and also a doubly-secured crown to prevent water seepage to the max.

What you can do with it:

A simple and efficient navigation tool when you are travelling on land, the Luminox Recon Point Man 8820 Series Swiss Made 200M XL.8832.MI Mens Watch allows to determine bearings on a normal sunny day, with the sun visible. You can also measure your walking/running/cycling speed with help from the graduated turning bezel and the contrast-color countdown quadrant of the dial. The compass on the strap tells you the direction you are heading or that you should head.

What went into it?

Swiss quartz movement within a lightweight, black, carbon-reinforced polycarbonate case with impressive illumination that doesn’t need external light sources to function! The ionized gas inside the borosilicate capsules glow by themselves and will keep doing so for more than two decades before any need for replacement shows up.

Sort of a freebee:

The water resistance of the Luminox Recon Point Man 8820 Series Swiss Made 200M XL.8832.MI Mens Watch is equivalent to that of a serious diver’s; a watch meant for land use seldom has 660 feet of water resistance!

Good for what?

Professionals absolutely don’t need another person to tell them the Luminox Recon Point Man 8820 Series Swiss Made 200M XL.8832.MI Mens Watch is the thing for them; however, if you are not, then it can be your everyday tool watch. If you can use nothing else in the the Luminox Recon Point Man 8820 Series Swiss Made 200M XL.8832.MI Mens Watch, you’ll be delighted with its bright lume; its low weight and the l-o-o-o-n-g battery life.

Beneath the dial is a reliable quartz movement that keeps accurate time.

Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton Automatic H42555751 Men’s Watch: Traditional, Precision, Wallet-Friendly Timekeeping

While the general mindset about skeletonised watches about being more expensive than the rest stops the most of us from laying our respective hands on one, Hamilton taps gently into that space and presents all that extra engineering and hard work to create a beautiful, timekeeping machine – the Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton Automatic H42555751 Men’s Watch - that’s tough as a nut, without driving the price through the roof.

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton Automatic H42555751 Men’s Watch cashes on the skeletonised theme, which wouldn’t have been possible without the Hamilton H-20-S automatic movement thrown in. The watch, thus, unites an impeccable degree of craftsmanship with relentless precision, high on decoration that ranges from a brushed and skeletonised rotor to intricate H patterns on its individual elements. But if you really want to get the real juice of the thing, it is the generous dimensions of the openings that display the functioning of the escapement, the hairspring and the barrel that need to be considered.

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton Automatic H42555751 Men’s Watch comes in a 40mm stainless steel case, housing a skeletonised movement that has been specially created using a Swiss ETA movement as the base. Those with a penchant for vintage looks and feel – to be precise, the 1960s’ – with a thin profile that’s bestowed upon by the modern technological standards, shall find the Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton Automatic H42555751 Men’s Watch an irresistible piece that will soon lead into obsession unless you procure it fast.

Movement and the case aside, it’s also the lugs’ shapes that make the Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Skeleton Automatic H42555751 Men’s Watch stand out from the crowd. The feel is in the wear and not visual. For the latter, you must glance at the silver-coloured dial, which is the dial itself, standing out against a backdrop of the dark grey movement plates, integrated to impart the Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton Automatic H42555751 Men’s Watch a multi-layered look. Sure it’s not an ornate, filigreed skeleton, but it has been engineered to be masculine, beyond any doubt.

Turn the watch around and the winding rotor jumps into your field of vision, through the sapphire case-back. This is where some very staunch purists might object (a skeletonised watch should be manually wound), but Hamilton has complied with the changing times. And neither does it stop the light from passing through, thanks to the skeletonising of the rotor.

As for the rest, unlike most other skeletonised watches, viewing time is not a problem with the Hamilton American Classics Ventura Automatic H42555751 Men’s Watch; the hour and minute markers along the chapter ring help you to read and set time precisely, the fluted crown offering a very comfortable grip.

All in all, a piece that you will regret to miss!

Seiko 5 200M Automatic Map Meter SKZ231K1 SKZ231K SKZ231 Mens Watch

Put the Seiko 5 200M Automatic Map Meter SKZ231K1 SKZ231K SKZ231 Mens Watch on your wrist for some time and you’ll find it hard to part from this big, thick, sturdy piece of an outstanding field-equipment. Provided you are not someone with issues about thickness.

The Seiko 5 200M Automatic Map Meter SKZ231K1 SKZ231K SKZ231 Mens Watch is at worst, is impressive. It is one of those watches that grow on you and develops into fondness before you even realise. It is a much upgraded and improved version of the Seiko Atlas and hence, gets more admiration from the folk who are out in the field at the slightest chance.

A bigger case, nicer details and a finer brushed finish is what the Seiko 5 200M Automatic Map Meter SKZ231K1 SKZ231K SKZ231 Mens Watch brings at first glance. A closer inspection reveals the two-layered dial of the Seiko 5 200M Automatic Map Meter SKZ231K1 SKZ231K SKZ231 Mens Watch and that’s what the Atlas didn’t have. Just these two points are enough to prompt you towards picking one up, but wait; there’s more to come.

The Seiko 5 200M Automatic Map Meter SKZ231K1 SKZ231K SKZ231 Mens Watch is unique because it is the polar opposite of the ‘Dive Watch’ concept. It has been designed exclusively for land use. However, if you still insist for using it while sailing, you are free to because the compass serves the navigational purposes on the waters too. Also, it is safe to be carried till 600 feet under water; however, its actual feature – the Map Meter - measures distances on the maps as you hop the terrains. That’s not going to help you amidst open waters but you can trust your life on it when amidst the vast, open stretches on land. Here, it just has no parallel!

The crowns of the Seiko Prospex Air Diver 200M Automatic Map Meter SKZ231K1 SKZ231K SKZ231 Mens Watch are guarded by plastic (ABS) guards; securely fastened with screws to the sides, Seiko shows their intelligence by not using metal, which reduces the weight of the watch big time. Alongside, ABS makes for extra shock protection and from the design perspective, adds a distinct character to the watch. It also helps to slash the price.

A plastic ring surrounds the case back, from which the crown guards extend. The single piece plastic construction brings more rigidity than what three separate pieces would; it also ensures that lasting will be better.

The knurled, screw-in crown has the 5 logo engraved on it and the bidirectional bezel is also knurled along its sides. The knurling aids in smooth operation. However, the bezel doesn’t click upon rotating.

The lume is just like Seiko 5 Sports is supposed to be; Lumibrite glows gleefully, as bright as a torch on the hands but a little subdued on the markers. However, the brightness from the hands compensates that nicely.

The 7S36 movement is an upgraded version of the 7S26, with two extra jewels thrown in and built in the Seiko facilities in Japan. That should take care of all the worries that you might have on its reliability factor. And that’s important, if you are the sort of person who picks directions instead of destinations when you are out on long hauls.
