To be perfectly clear, when we call this fine Invicta watch “the
Aquaman of timepieces,” we don’t mean to diss. Somehow, the blonde
Super Friend has been tagged as the superfluous one, the pinky of the
mighty SF fist, the Jar-Jar Binks of the tights ‘n’ capes set. But how
many of you remember his exploits in the tale “The Ice Age”, when
Aquaman lured the evil Iceberg Head into a trap with chocolatey Hostess
cupcakes? Let the jaded among you taunt and scoff, but we hail Arthur
Curry as a true hero, always welcome round our Hall of Justice.
As
is this watch. Both the Invicta Automatic Pro Diver G3 and Aquaman are
handsome, rugged, water resistant to 200 meters, and modeled after a
Submariner (one created by Rolex, the other by Marvel). But, dare we
say, the Pro Diver is even more powerful than the King of Atlantis.
Precise Swiss construction is housed in a stainless steel case. The
black face features Tritnite luminous hands and markers, an
anti-reflective mineral crystal, a date display, and a unidirectional
black bezel with white markings. And the Pro Diver needs no winding or
battery. It uses your natural motion to wind itself, kind of the way a
hydroelectric plant generates electricity from the rise and fall of the
sea.
Unlike Aquaman, the Invicta Automatic’s public image is
impeccable, making it one of the best-selling and best-reviewed men’s
watches on land or sea. If only it could talk to fish...
