This is a 18k Gold Chronograph watch from Invicta. It is not a necessarily traditional look, nor a radical one. It falls in between.

The gold on this watch is the shade of tinny, yellowish (with light shone on it)that is wrapped on many cheap watched you might find in, say, a mall. Now I will be the first one to tell you that there is a distinctly bold, black line between this Invicta 1276 and those cheap mall watches. The color is very similar, is all.

When you pick up this watch you will notice it is quality heavy, and heavy to the touch. This is a good thing. The band does not frail around, but is stubborn to maneuver, again a good thing. The watch dial is a little smaller than I view a typical mens watch, and is not the oversized variety that is commonly offered by Invicta's trendy line. The dial face is a very washed out copper, so that in some lights it almost looks off-whitish with a shade of gold.

The reason for he 3 stars is because I feel the gold color of the watch borders closely to cheap similars. The quality is there, and when you pick up the watch, and if you like the style, you will be perfectly satisfied with this purchase.

[---My Recommendation---]

My choice of style for the Collection II line by Invicta is the 1279 model which has a very muted soft brown gold, an almost tan-like dial (great contrast) with a very traditional look where the numbers have a touch of modern design. The Amazon description for the latter is: [Invicta Men's 1279 Chronograph Gold Dial 18k Gold Ion-Plated Stainless Steel Watch] which is a 5 star watch all around with an exceptional classic look, subtle contrast and outstanding quality. They should have comparable prices. The product ID is B0058N6KB2 and to search Amazon for this watch you will have to substitute whatever BXXXXXXXXX is in the product link of whatever you are looking at with the number I gave.
