Question.
There seems to be a great deal of confusion regarding what is a true ?Limited Edition? timepiece, and a Limited Run of a certain model. Some models (such as the Subaqua) state on the case back that it is a LIMITED EDITION, which by definition should have a numbered run, thus creating exclusivity. But when questioned, a representative from Invicta stated that the Subaqua Noma is NOT a Limited Edition, it is Limited Production and the design will be going under constant change, thus no Limited Certification will be issued on them. They further added that the Meteorite dial SA was the ONLY Limited Edition in that series. Why then does it say Limited Edition directly on the watch?

The Subaqua was a limited edition piece. We use the serial number on the watch to keep track of its issuance, though there is no definition that states a limited Edition has to have a numbered run. I don?t know where you are getting your definitions but do to the confusion we have since discontinued the Subaqua and have also developed a system for defining our limited pieces. A limited Edition will be numbered and certified. A limited Edition Production like the new S-1 watch will be numbered, but it will not carry a certificate to its lower price point. A limited Production means that we will only make an unspecified number of that piece in a certain amount of time. It may be a year or six months
