Has Invicta ever offered a true mechanical day/date watch? I've noticed how popular the SWI versions have been with WISers, so I wonder if Invicta might tread these waters, particularly in a Reserve line piece. Thoughts?

Are you including automatics in your defintion of mechanical? Or are you refering to only movements you have to manually wind?

The Abyss Pro Divers have a day/date and are automatic pieces.

Yes, I'd include them. In fact, I think automatic would be preferable.

Ahh, I forgot about that one. Good on you!:thumbup1:

Here's a picture of my 3294 again. (Sorry for posting the same photo over and over. :blushing: Maybe, I'll get a better shot one of these days.) Invicta put the day/date on a number of 8215 based watches.

BTW, you could see the day in either English or Japanese on this one.

Basically any watch with an Invicta 8205 or 8215 (forgot which!) has a day/date complication. It's funny, I usually like day/date. I seem to like how Invicta choose some watches for date only and others for both, I think it'd look odd on my OGIII to have both, but would hate it if my Aussie didn't.... make any sense?

To the best of my knowledge, Invicta has never offered a day date with a Swiss automatic movement (ie, the ETA 2834 used in the SWI or the 2836, which has a set up similar to the Japanese day/date movements pictured above)

Thanks Boscoe,

That's generally where I was going with the question, but I was curious about their Japanese movements as well.

Here is a Invicta with a ETA 2836

The Miyota 8205 is a day date auto

I would definitely like to see Invicta use the ETA 2834 like the SWI with the DAY on top and the DATE on the bottom of the dial. I do not recall seeing this version on any Invicta's..:confused1:

Very nice, Watchbear.

Definately!! Sharp looking watch Watchbear!

Here's mine, the 2803

One of the things I have always liked about Invicta is their affinity for textured dials

 

[Agent Orange]

I wholeheartedly agree!

Especially on this one, the 3158. I saw it on that shopping channel, and it moved me to buy it.

The reason I ordered the Aussie was the Day Date feature (don't care for the Abyss). Has there been any discussions of the Aussie with hour markers instead of Roman numerals on the dial? (I guess your standard Pro Diver with Day Date and no magnifier)
