Amazon.com Product Description

Be prepared for a night out on the town or a day’s diving the reefs with Invicta’s stylish Ocean Ghost II precise, Swiss-made diving watch (model 2299) with automatic movement, which provides water resistance up to 200 meters (660 feet). It features a round, shock-resistant silver stainless steel case with embossed unidirectional rotating bezel. The silver dial background is accented by blue triangular dial markers and Tritnite luminous hands (with blue seconds hand). The silver stainless steel bracelet band mixes brushed and polished pieces. Other features include an antireflective mineral crystal with magnifier, Cabochon crown, see-through caseback, and date function at 3 o’clock.

Pro Diver Collection

Plunge into any horizon using the steadfast guidance of the Invicta Pro Diver. Stylishly classic, internal workings are forged with variations of either Swiss chronograph or 21-jewel automatic movements and willingly navigate in depths up to 300 meters. Built with confident prowess, the fortitude with which these timepieces function makes the Pro Diver the quintessential in performance.

Screw Down Crowns: Many Invicta watches are equipped with a screw down crown to help prevent water infiltration. This is most common on our Diver models. In order to adjust the date and/or time on such a watch, you must first unscrew the crown before you can gently pull it out to its first or second click stop position. To do this, simply rotate the crown counterclockwise until it springs open. When you have finished setting the watch, the crown must then be pushed in and screwed back in tightly. Not doing so will cancel the water resistance of the watch and will void all warranties from the manufacturer. Overall, this process should not require a lot of effort or force.

Automatic Watches

Automatic watches do not operate on batteries. Automatic watches are made up of about 130 or more parts that work together to tell time. Automatic movements mark the passage of time by a series of gear mechanisms, and are wound by the movement of your wrist as you wear it. The gear train then transmits the power to the escapement, which distributes the impulses, turning the balance wheel. The balance wheel is the time regulating organ of a mechanical watch, which vibrates on a spiral hairspring. Lengthening or shortening the balance spring makes the balance wheel go faster or slower to advance or retard the watch. The travel of the balance wheel from one extreme to the other and back again is called oscillation. Lastly, automatic movements come in different types, including movements that are Swiss-made, Japanese-made, and more.

Also referred to as self-winding, watches with automatic movements utilize kinetic energy, the swinging of your arm, to provide energy to an oscillating rotor to keep the watch ticking. They’re considered more satisfying to watch collectors (horologists) because of the engineering artistry that goes into the hundreds of parts that make up the movement. If you do not wear an automatic watch consistently (for about 8 to 12 hours a day), you can keep the watch powered with a watch winder (a great gift for collectors).

Customer Reviews

A nice watch but a little on the large side4

I’m a pretty big guy so it doesn’t look out of place, but this is really an extra large watch that is also quite heavy. It runs well, keeps good time and the movement has a very good reputation for reliability. If you’re an extra large person and don’t mind a heavy watch, you may be interested in this. If you’re average size or smaller, I wouldn’t recommend it. Personally, this is my weekend watch because it comes across as being pretty bullet-proof in normal use.

Great Watch5

The dial is big for some people, but being it’s a diving watch I would expect nothing less. This is a beautiful piece of machinery and I wear it everyday.

Pretty cool so far5

An incredible watch, it’s both visually stunning, and a fine timekeeper. I just hope it lasts more than my last watch. I had a Casio G-shock, and somehow water got inside.(Probably shouldn’t have worn it in the shower.)
