Invicta's 1563 II Collecstion Swiss Chronograph with Black Dial and Black Stainless Band watch for men is a gorgeous, large, and current timepiece for the sophisticated yet realistic buyer.  The black band is an unique and different look.  It won't look like the other watches in your collection, and that is a good thing!

Invicta is a watch company from Florida and makes quality, affordable timepieces featuring Swiss Quartz in this model. While the watch is not made in Switzerland, its Quartz movement comes from there.  Swiss quartz is not seen as often as Japanese quartz in this price category, while both likely do an equal job.  Being quartz and not automatic, the watch features a battery that will eventually need replacing like any other quartz watch.

This particular model has a gorgeous black stainless steel watch band and black dial chronograph with white hands.  The date, seconds, minutes, and hours are all featured on this chronograph.  Furthermore, the Day of the Week is featured on the bottom dial.  A less common feature to have not only the date, but the day of the week too!

Invicta puts a retail price on the watch of over six hundred.  Now, this is certainly interesting watch mark-up.  Nevertheless, this watch, selling nearly everywhere for less than a hundred, is a tremendous value.  While it does not come off as a six hundred dollar watch by any means, it certainly appears of much higher quality, performance, and design than a watch that comes in at under one hundred.

No one should be in the least ashamed to wear such a nice, solid, and good looking watch.  It's an affordable, quality product!

Even the packaging is gorgeous!  A wonderful yellow textured material box, hinges open to reveal the gorgeous watch.  There simply isn't anything to dislike about this timepiece.  Unless you or the watch recipient has an extremely large wrist, you will need to size the watch by removing links.  This can be done for a small fee at a jeweler, or a more adventurous owner might attempt the sizing themselves with the proper tools.  Just be careful, if you're worried about hurting your watch, go the professional jeweler route!  You do not want to ruin your watch.

The size of the dial is impressive indeed!  Some may find it too large, but it's truly the trend in men's watches today.  It's wide, it's thick, it's bold, it has good weight to it, and it grabs attention.

Overall, I have been thoroughly impressed by this Invicta watch.  I believe it will not be my last.  It offers a striking design with solid quality at a nearly unbelievable selling price.  Furthermore, I may put Invicta on the list as potential holiday gifts for family members.
