Amazon.com Product Description
The Invicta Men's Pro Diver Collection Swiss Q Watch is expertly designed for the most avid deep-sea diver, with a water resistance of 660 feet.

A durable mineral window shields the royal blue dial face, which features gold-tone dot hour indexes, as well as gold dash minute indexes, and matching gold watch hands. The dial face also includes a convenient date calendar at three 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.

Customer Reviews

Upon noticing this watch, I had a friend tell me how envious he was of me - "I guess you need to get your second kid out of the way before you get to buy your `Submariner.' I have been asking my wife if I could get one for years with no luck." Later that day I told him that I liked the Tag he was wearing. "Not as nice as yours" was his response (His Tag cost 12 - 15 times what MY "Submariner" cost).
I have only had this watch for several days, so my review is based upon that experience. I hope to update my review a couple of years in the future. I bought it because my ESQ of 9 years was with the repairperson being cleaned, is having some problems, and ESQ discontinued the model. I have owned Pulsar, Timex, Michel Herbelin, and an ESQ 200M diver and my review will compare my impressions against those timepieces, especially the ESQ.
PROs:
Appearance

Value
CONs:
Tight Bezel
Luminescence
Grinding screw-down crown
First, this is a STUNNING, beautiful watch! It looks better than the photos. Depending upon the light, the color changes from blue to purple to royal blue. The watch case has Invicta engraved on one side and looks elegant. The Invicta logo wings on the back of the second hand look classy.
The crown has a Swiss cross raised on it and is of the screw-down variety. It threads with a grinding, unnatural feel, and I fear it will mis-thread and fail over time.
The bezel is tight and rotates with great reluctance (an apparent Invicta trait). I use the bezel a lot and am disappointed I will be unable to use it much on this watch. The bezel on my ESQ is near perfect, and I am puzzled why Invicta cannot improve this aspect.
The luminescence is disappointing. When exposed to direct, unfiltered sunlight the lume is initially fine but fades within an hour. My ESQ puts it to shame.
The band (brushed silver links with polished gold links) is fine, looks GREAT, and does not pull my arm hair but does not feel as heavy or as high quality as my ESQ's band (I cannot image what the "folded link" bands on lesser Invictas are like). I have read in these reviews that the 23k gold plating comes off rather easily over time.
The movement is Swiss and seems fine. The second hand hits the watch's tick marks much more precisely than my ESQ.
Overall, I believe the watch is a great value. I chose it because I would have had to move to the $400 - $500 price point to find anything else close to what I liked and Amazon offered a free extended warranty. Although I would not have purchased this watch without the extended warranty, I may purchase other Invicta's without it depending upon my experience with this one.
UPDATE 11/12/11: Three years later and I have nothing but great things to say about this watch. Aside from some scuffs on the clasp and scratches toward the bottom of band from normal desk diving wear, the watch remains beautiful. Note that the scratches are on the center polished portion of the band but the gold plate remains fully intact; the brushed outer links look fine.
Since it was under warranty, I did recently return it Invicta for its 3-4 year cleaning. It was returned to me with a slightly looser bezel, so that was a pleasant surprise. However, the movement also no longer hits the tick marks exactly (similar to my Christopher Ward). The cleaning cost me $56 (initially I thought it was only going to be $28), and I was without it for 3 months. In hindsight, I probably should have simply taken it to my local jeweler ($45 and without it for 3-6 weeks) and will do so in the future.

I think anybody that would spend $5000.00 plus for the likes of a Submariner should have a head transplant espically when great watches like this Invicta 9310 are available for about $100.00. I own a Prague in this same style and love it, but wanted something a little more well made. Steinhart has a fantastic blue on blue divers watch that sells for $450.00 (a real bargin) that many believe outclasses the famous "Rolex Submariner". Only problem is that I got impatient waiting for it to become available again (Steinhart is a first class operation)! Not knowing anything about Invicta except for liking the looks of their products, I did some research and liked what I saw and read enough to order the 9310 Swiss Quartz Dive watch. I really did want an automatic watch but after reading all the info about needing to take them to a jewler every 2 years to have them cleand and oiled I thought - who needs all that - excpecilly after checking into the cost of oiling running about 80 bucks a throw - no way! I just got a 5 year battery installed in another watch for a 20 spot and that sounds a lot better then the previous. The 9310 is a heavy well made time piece.If I didn't know better I would swear that it is worth hundreds more then I paid. The word "INVICTA" is engraved in the side of the watch and looks really cool. Don't expect to get the watch that is in this advertisement with the neat red wings on the face with "SWISS" written under it because Invicta has changed the style of the 9310...but thats OK because the wings that are on the rear of the minute hand that is constantly going around is done really well and adds a certain classy look. Im not much on worring about packaging but the new yellow wave box this watch comes in is pretty darn cool (a 12 dollar box if bought by itself)as is the included $8.00 polishing cloth! The company also includes the easiest to understand instruction booklet on the market today. Don't get sucked in by paying thousands for a name as no watch is worth all that as any honest jewler will tell you...save that money to put towards a new car and use your brain to rationalize getting a watch that in my opinion is just as functional as the high price boys and really nice to look at. I can't wait to get all dressed up with my wife and wear my new watch to go out...wearing this cool watch makes you feel like you got a few bucks rubbing togeather in your pocket. Oh yea...when you first open your watch check out how well this item is wrapped to avoid any scratches. The corded hanging tag on the watch is even classier then the one on a Rolex. You want a first class,cool looking time piece without breaking the bank then get this 9310 Dive watch with it's Beautiful Blue/Blue face and gold trim...you will not be disappointed!
