This is a very impressive black dial leather chronograph timepiece!  The construction of the Invicta 1429 is the finest I have ever seen.  I can truly say that this is the finest watch I have ever owned.

The housing is made from a generous quantity of gold tinted stainless steel with crown gaskets which maintain water resistance to 100 meters.  The watch is huge and not for boys - as it is truly a man's watch.  This is not a tiny thin Timex watch.  Wearing it you feel you are wearing your money's worth in metal alone.  If the watch is exposed to light for 4 to 5 hours it will glow brightly in the dark due to "tritnite" material used to illuminate the face markers of the watch face.  This quartz watch is powered by a battery that not only powers the second, minute and hour hands (and date) but also subdials - hence its chronograph features.  The jury is out on the life of the battery.  On the left is a stopwatch minute sub-dial with hand movement in minutes.  On the face bottom  is the stopwatch second subdial with hand movement in seconds.  To the right is a 24 hour subdial with a hand that indicates the time on a 24 hour basis (which will make the vets happy).  There is also an inconspicuous date display to let you know the day of the month (but you will have to figure out on your own what month and year it is :)).  The strap provided on the Invicta 1429 is a sturdy white stitch on black leather of good quality.  The strap is a bit stiff but like most leather items approximately 1/8 inch thickness it will take some time to break in - like a new pair of leather boots.  The strap matches the gargantuan feel of the timepiece.

All in all this is the finest watch I have ever owned.  It is simply beautiful and at the same time elegant in fit, finish and construction.  It is worth much more than it is priced on Amazon.  I highly recommend this watch to any "man" (not for boys).  You will thank me when you put it on.  It can be worn with casual clothes, but becomes a topic of conversation when worn with your black tux and white tie.
