(More customer reviews)One of the strengths of Invicta Watch Company is their outstanding design team. Invicta obviously employs a strategy of creating edgy, bold new designs each year and, when the next designs are released, discontinuing the old ones - making them instant collectibles.
In the last few years, the company has embraced a very "Jean-Paul Gaultier" vibe with their very techno-industrial designs, such as the massive Sub Aqua Noma series. The Bolt, part of the upscale Invicta Reserve collection, is an evolution of that effort, maintaining much of the boldness and unabashed masculinity, while creating some dressier nuances to allow the watch to function in many more style settings for the wearer.
The Bolt is distinguished by a very edgy steel-cable bezel - definitely a continuation of the Gaultier influence - and ridged inner links on the upper portions of the bracelet. Yet for all of its industry-chic appearance, the watch benefits immeasurably by the rose gold ion-plating of the cable bezel and oversized crown (the crown, in itself, an iconic symbol of recent Invicta design philosophy). The combination of brushed and polished stainless, complemented by the rose gold accents, give the watch a much more luxurious appearance that softens the hard edges of the underlying design. The result is a watch that looks equally at home in a board room as at a monster truck rally.
Invicta has not scrimped on the real heart of a quality watch - the movement. Sellita's SW200, for all intents and purposes the twin of ETA's venerable 2824, provides sure, reliable timekeeping (in fact, the same movement that Invicta obtains COSC certification for its Reserve Pro Diver collection). Now that Swatch Group has forbade the selling of ETA ebauches outside their corporate family, Sellita's versions of ETA's most popular movements will become much more prevalent in mid-price and up timepieces.
If you are one of the Invicta fans who felt the Sub Aqua Noma was a bit too much of a good thing, you really will appreciate the more subtle appeal of the Bolt. It still says - unmistakably - "manly," but does not scream it in your face.
