Invicta Men's Russian Diver Stainless Steel Skeleton Watch

This watch is more than a watch - it is a statement. You will know exactly what I mean when you open the box - WOW. You've never seen anything like it, and you never will, trust me!First of all, it is the largest wristwatch I have EVER seen. On top of that, the design is anything but conservative. The band, the rose gold, the crown, the workings inside - will draw attention, It wont fit under your cuff, or even your jacket, it will bulge out and it will be seen. Might as well roll up your sleeves - or go short sleeved if you dare - and show it off. If you are dressing up in Las Vegas, New York, Paris, Tokyo, or LA for dinner, party or club night, this is it. Dont wear it to your typical stuffy corporate reception, do wear it to the New Years Eve Black Tie party, or to the afternoon horse track or car show with short sleeves. It's a beautiful piece, looks like $2500+ or more.But be prepared, you will know it's on your wrist. The huge crown will remind the back of your hand that its there, I mean its not a problem for a night out or dinner but if you want to try to work with it on, or carry your bags through the airport, or somesuch, it's just in the way.Finally, I can say, not everyone can wear this watch, and even then it won't be wearable anywhere. I mean, it's not like having a Flav-o-flav alarm clock hanging from your neck - but it's close. The average dorky guy in average town USA simply cannot pull this off. But if you have stuff to strut, the statement to make, and the place to make it, this piece is totally unique attention getting/conversation piece and will round out your personal presence in a big way.For collectors, it's a very unique watch, simple in that there is no date, no chrono, complex in the skeleton design and interesting waterproofing. It's a classic manual wind, hard to find these days. Keeps good time and is interesting to take a very close look at and the construction feels very top notch all around.I love the watch and break it out when I am on a night out in my favorite jet set city. At home, it sits proudly on my dresser and helps nudge me to plan the next time I'll wear it. Have Fun and Buy this! I am glad I did, bravo to Invicta for taking such a risk with this totally over the top watch.

I was in a conundrum. I had a Timex that I owned for 11 years and was going through batteries about as often as I changed my underwear; but, I liked the way it looked...and I am cheap. I also have large hands and wrists, so many watches will either not fit, or look as if I am wearing a medic alert bracelet. I decided that I wanted a water resistant watch that winds up, rather than depends upon batteries.First of all, the Invicta 1088 watch is the Hyundai Genesis of watches. From a distance, it looks like a much more expensive timepiece and product, but upon second look you see that it is something else. Also, like the Genesis, you get a quality product for less than one would expect to payI am not a watch collector. I wear them to tell time. It is a quality timepiece, and is worth the price that you pay for it. I will need to adjust and reset my watch about once every 2 to 3 weeks, as it will lose about a minute. Then again, I wear it every day.Yes, the watch is big. I have large hands, so it actually looks proportional. If one has small hands, you may wish to take this into consideration.

I adore this watch. It is definitely a conversation starter and it is made to be seen. I bought it because I love skeleton watches. The color contrast, negative space and size of the various parts of the watch movement make the internal function very visible which is precisely why I bought this. This is the largest and heaviest watch I have ever seen. It is not something that I would wear while working on projects because it does get in the way. I wear it on my right hand so the crown does not dig into the back of my hand. It is sized for a man who has a large wrist but I like the way it looks on my small wrist. The rose gold is a nice tone. It seems well made and solid.

I bought this watch in 2012. 22 years ago, still looks great and runs perfectly. The salt water didn’t hurt this at all. The band broke on me last week, and I’m looking for a replacement. On the polyurethane bands, they need oiled to stay flexible. After 22 years mine broke, and this watch deserves a new band. This watch is a top 10 favorite of mine.

I really, really like this watch. I have always loved big watches, and I have always loved skeleton watches, so when I saw this in my favorite rose gold color, what was not to love???? I have very small wrists, so it probably looks like a huge weight on my arm, but I STILL love it! The detailing on the inner workings of the watch is just fabulous, and the case is big and substantially made. I also like the nice rose gold inserts in the band on both sides next to the watch face itself. This is an old-fashioned, "wind it every day" watch, but it keeps perfect time and looks awesome on my arm. Plus if I ever decide to take up scuba diving, it's waterproof to 600 feet!!!! You just can't beat that combination! And the price was pretty good for what you get. Just a hugely attractive timepiece that definitely stands out from the crowd. My one concern is how long the rose gold plating is going to last, but I'll just wait and see on that. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because of the "wind it every single day" workings, but other than that I have no complaints. I also like the detailing of the chain on the waterproof sealing cap over the winding steam. Once again, we'll see how long it stays looking nice. So far, so good. Merry Christmas to me!

Quality with Invicta is flawless. These stand the test of time.
