The Invicta Men's 1429 Chronograph is a very distinctive watch with its large face and the rose gold plated finish which is set against the black watch face.  The rose gold gives the gold finish is a reddish hue which is different, distinctive and looks nice.  But, what people have always noticed first about the watch is its size.  The watch face is slightly less than 1 3/4 inches (44mm) in diameter.  The watch body is almost 1/2 inch thick.  This is by far the largest watch that I have ever worn.  The face is easy to read.

The hands and numbers of are white and show up well against the black background of the watch face.  There are also three smaller dials on the watch face.  Two of the smaller faces are dedicated to the stopwatch which can be used up to 60 minutes.  The stopwatch is controlled by two push-buttons on the side of the watch.  The other small face shows the time in military time.  Between the 4 and 5 on the face is a small indicator of the date.

The watch is a quartz watch which means that the battery will need to eventually be replaced.  The ticking sound that the watch makes is very quiet which is nice for people who get annoyed at the loud ticking of some mechanical watches.

The dial window material is synthetic-sapphire which is supposed to be scratch resistant.  My other watch is a watch that I use for running which has only a plastic dial window.  My running watch is completely scratched whereas the Invicta has remained scratch free so far.  So, the synthetic sapphire material does appear to do a good job at resisting scratches.

Although the Amazon description notes that the band material is leather / synthetic, the watch band includes a stamp noting that it is genuine leather.  So it may be just the small bands that hold the watch strap in place that are synthetic.  The band is comfortable, but seems to be designed for a wide wrist.  I don't think that I have an uncommonly small wrist, but I needed to use the very last hole in the strap (so that the strap was as small as it could go without punching new holes).

The watch comes in a distinctive, yellow box which is a nice touch.  The documentation includes a piece of paper showing how to use the chronograph, to set the time and to set the date.  Also included is an application for an extended warranty for five years.

Overall, a distinctive watch which will be noticed.  If you are looking for a large watch, then you should certainly consider this model.  However, due to the large size of the watch, this model may not be for people who are looking for a smaller profile, or for a more elegant watch.
