The Invicta Men's 1430 Chrongraph is big, really big. It is the largest watch I have owned. It has a cool, military look; very professional and tough. It is tough. The watch is rated waterproof to 100 meters (333 feet). That rating means this is a watch you can wear scuba diving. Most "waterproof" watches are rated to 10 meters (30 feet) and you will void the warranty if you take them diving. Not this one. Oh no. This baby is the Hummer of watches.

Besides being big and heavy (it is thick and significant in weight), the 1430 is easy to read. The numbers are big enough for me to read without my reading glasses. The chronograph dials are also large enough to be useful. The watch comes with three small (not that small), inside dials: a 24-hour dial that shows the current time in military (24-hour)time, a seconds chronograph and a minutes dial for the chronograph. This is the first watch I have had that is truly useful for stopwatch activity. Sadly, there is no 1/10th second dial, so not too useful for motor sports or track.

The watch is handsome and very masculine. You do need fairly beefy wrists to wear this comfortably. It all comes down to style. If you like that big "Hummer" look, then you will love this watch.
