Typically the Russian Diver's come with a rubber style band, but I decided to give this one a try, not a top choice of mine, but I just couldn't get over the price.  The watch is very nice.  The leather band to my dismay is rather attractive and comfortable.  The watch was not a bad choice and I do get compliments while wearing it.  I rated it a 5 star because of price, craftsmenship and construction.  You just can't beat either.  Sophisticated, yet simple, is my best description of this watch.  I really like this watch, especially on those days when I just want everything simple.  If you know anything about Invicta, and you like their products; enough said.  I don't regret this purchase and would do it again.  Later all.
