Big, bold and masculine, the Invicta Quartz Pro Diver S2 is an affordable luxury watch with classically styled features. This precisely constructed timepiece for men features a solid stainless steel case that's 43mm wide (1.7 inches). It has a black face with Tritnite luminous hands and markers and a unidirectional black bezel with white numerals and markings. Other features include anti-reflective mineral crystal, date display at 3 o'clock, and water resistance to 200 meters. The highly polished stainless steel band has a fold over clasp with safety.

An automatic watch is a mechanical watch that is self-winding. the movement of your wrist and body causes the rotor--a weight attached to an automatic winding mechanism--to wind up the watch. This automatic watch has 21 jewels, which are ruby stones that the gears turn on to protect the metal parts from grinding together. An automatic watch needs no battery, but it will stop if now worn for over a day or if you have been physically inactive for an extended period of time. If this happens, wind the crown ten times clockwise to start the watch and give it some reserve power.

Classically styled and shining with polished style, this titanium Invicta Men's Pro Diver stainless steel men's automatic watch is a great match for professional wear as well as your scuba diving adventures. It features water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet)--suitable for recreational diving--and it's topped by a black-plated unidirectional rotating bezel with elapsed time markings and scalloped edges for a firm grip even with diving gloves. The dark gray case and bracelet band are made from solid titanium, which is nearly 50 percent lighter than steel, but 30 percent stronger. It's also particularly resistant to salt water corrosion, as well as hypo-allergenic--perfect for those with metal allergies.

The black dial is complemented by Tritnite luminous dotted markers and hands (with seconds hand), small minute indexes, and a date window at 3 o'clock with a magnifier. Tritnite is a luminous material with an extended glow exclusively developed by Invicta in Switzerland and added to their timepiece hands and markers. When exposed to regular daylight, it will hold its glow for about 20 hours. Other features include an anti-reflective mineral crystal, and a skeleton see-through case back that enables you to watch the automatic movement at work.

An automatic (or self-winding) watch is fitted with a device (rotor) that automatically winds the spring by using the force of gravity. It needs no battery, but it will stop if you have been physically inactive for an extended period of time--as long as you're moving, the watch will stay powered. Swiss watchmaker Abraham-Louis Perrelet invented the self-winding mechanism in 1770. It worked on the same principle as a modern pedometer, and was designed to wind as the owner walked.
