Chunky, stylish, and packed with practical features, the Men's Force Collection watch from Swiss watchmaker Invicta is the ideal watch for casual everyday wear. A black ion-plated stainless steel bezel encircles a textured black dial that pops with luminous rose-gold-tone hands and easy-to-read Arabic numerals. Stainless steel inserts on the black rubber strap feature the Invicta logo and create a pleasing color contrast with the strap. The watch is water resistant to 330 feet (100 M).Force Collection
A revolutionary constitution by a democratic leading Force, with a lefty spin. Focused on an end to class antagonisms, the Lefty brings about change, and makes what was once in reach of only a few elite, now affordable to all. Commanded by automatic or Professional Quartz Chronograph movements housed within surgical grade solid stainless steel cases, leather straps, Trinite luminous hands, and submergible to 100 meters, the Lefty’s prepared for war and ready for peace.
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).
