Oceanus Watch: Invicta Men's 3782 Vintage Collection IV 1948 Gold-Tone Automatic Watch Review

(More customer reviews)The watch is much better looking than in the picture. The blue is darker, almost purple, and the triangular number markings are copper color. Looks fantastic! Unfortunately the watch is junk. The first one stopped working after a couple weeks of wearing. Amazon replaced it but the second one was dead on arrival. The self winding mechanism was frozen. Additionally the hands do not glow in the dark, at least enough so that you can read them! I would not recommend buying this model.

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). Reaching back through time, Invicta's Vintage collection captures the stylish elegance of the past and places it firmly on the wrist of the present. The result of this synthesis includes the original Invicta IV logo dating from 1837, exhibition case backs, antique finished dials, Roman numerals, alarm functions, leather straps or stainless steel bracelets. Evocative of classic European watch making yet striking the perfect balance between the past and future, the very best of the old and new world meet here at the point of Vintage.
