This Invicta Men's 1426 is nothing if not IMPRESSIVE. The face is very large and time is delineated with large numbers at 12 // 3 // 6 // 9 o'clock for easy readability. The strap is a wide length of thick, black leather with attractive white stitching and the clasp is silver in color, possibly a brushed stainless or aluminum.

This watch would look spectacular on the wrist of a very big guy who needs to time people or things that move: runners, swimmers, divers, horses, cars, boats, future Olympic Champs.

Invicta Men's 1426 is water resistant to 100 meters, has a stainless steel case and "flame fusion" crystal. It's truly a fine piece of craftsmanship.

Mine arrived in a stunning yellow box, beautifully covered in yellow leather (or vinyl) outside, a light yellow suede-like, textured fabric inside, with a yellow and white instruction book and a yellow tag. The tag is stamped with the INVICTA logo and hangs from the strap by a length of thick, yellow embroidery floss. On the back of the yellow tag (a cross between plastic and rubber) is a sticker with "MSRP $595.00" on it.

In addition to a user-friendly instruction book, there is an extra insert on how to use the stop watch, time setting, adjusting the stopwatch hand position, and display and crown/button operation. I timed things with the stopwatch and found it easy to use. To reset was also easy. (I simply used button A for the former, button B for the latter.)

If you're looking for a monumental watch with chronograph for yourself or as a gift (maybe for your kid's coach), consider this one -- a $595 gift (for less than $80). It'll not only keep track of time, it'll make quite a statement.
