Will somebody please tell me if Invicta Russian Diver's watches are actually made in Russia?

Hello Jack!
No, they're not made in Russia. Although you would need a real KGB spy to find out where Invicta's parts are actually manufactured. Most parts are from eastern Asia and some from Switzerland. They are then imported into the US for (final) assembly.
The "Russian" comes from the style of watch case used, mainly that huge attached cap that covers and protects the crown.

Invicta employees are always russian to slap together that junk for the Sunday Run on SlopNBC. They're lucky to be finnish by Saturday night. :lol:

Invicta take some sort of claim to having provided watches to the Russian Navy in 1959. They model many versions after those watches.

Not sure on that...heard otherwise.

It's a bit of a moot point. The Invicta company we know of today wasn't even started until the mid 1990's.
