Oceanus Watch: Invicta Men's 4555 Subaqua Noma III Collection Automatic Watch Review

Average Reviews:
2.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I loved this watch. Enjoyed wearing it and everything. When I got it, the clasp over the crown would come loose every now and then, but then after a while stay closed, not great but I could live with it. Then after pulling the crown out to and changing the date, the crown would not push back in so that I could screw it closed. I have the extended warranty. It says to just send your watch in, but I wanted to call and get an RMA number so that I could somehow track that I had sent it in.. smart I thought. Well every time I called (3 times in a month) I would get a human receptionist I am assuming, and they would transfer me to there repair service. Every time I would get a recording to leave my information and they would call me back. They NEVER DID. Do not buy this watch unless you are willing to spend money on it and if something happens, have a paperweight.

Product Description:
Telling time has never been easier than on the clean, sophisticated face of this Subaqua Noma III Collection automatic men's watch by Invicta. A 58-millimeter case constructed of black stainless steel, and a stainless steel bezel support the watch's black dial, which features silver-tone hour indexes and matching watch hands, along with small Arabic numerals that count out five-second increments framing the dial. A date calendar rests at the three o'clock position, while the dial face is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire window. Raised Arabic numerals mark the unidirectional black bezel in five-minute increments on this automatic-movement-powered watch, which is also resistant to 1640 feet. A black-and-blue-ionic-plated stainless steel textured band holds the watch securely to your wrist with a fold-over clasp with safety mechanism.
Subaqua Collection
Led with expert engineering, and always ready to face the depths, no feat or occasion will ever be too great for Invicta's Subaqua to handle. The sheer magnitude of this mighty timepiece is superbly executed with surgical-grade solid stainless steel, Swiss automatic movements, and multiple color options of ionic plating. Managing up to 500 meters of water, finished off with a unidirectional rotating bezel, integrated shock resistance, and Invicta's luminous Tritnite hands, the Subaqua is the diver's definitive in negotiating any adventure by sea or by land.
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.
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).
