Many of the watches in the Invicta lineup are clearly contrived to copy a variety of Rolex designs. That is not the case with the Invicta 5290 which possesses a distinctive original design. The 5290 is part of the Pro Diver Universe collection.
A red ion coin edge unidirectional bezel nicely offsets the silver-tone dial. The dial sports large black roman numeral hour indicators, skeleton Trinite coated luminescent hands, date feature and three subdials. The band and the case are both made from polished 316L surgical-grade stainless steel. The crystal is a combination of hardened mineral crystal with a scratch resistant sapphire crystal coating. All in all, this makes for a handsome (if not understated) watch.
I wore this watch for a little over a month, and got more comments on it than watches that cost 10 times as much. It has a solid feel, and nice heft to it. It feels like a more expensive watch.
Invicta quotes a list price between $315.00 and $495.00 depending on where you look. Like any Invicta, if you look around at all, you will find this watch for a lot less. This is one of the problems with the Invicta line. They regularly assign inflated MSRP's on their watches so that potential buyers feel like they are getting a deal. | MSRP | $495.00 |
