I had to... For $249 a nice mechanical chrono, sapphire glass classic style. Invicta Men's Milestone 1966 Swiss Mechanical Chronograph Watch Choices: Black, Blue, Brown, or Dark Green dial A modern classic both in design and function, ready to respond to the rigors of your adventurous life! The finest milled block of 316L stainless steel constructs the round case of this horological marvel, charged up with a Technica Swiss Ebauche 1902 mechanical movement and outfitted with a chronograph complication for accurate measurements of elapsed time. The design inspiration for the movement comes from a very old Swiss Venus 175 caliber officially removed from production in 1966. The balance wheel of the Technica Swiss Ebauche 1902 rotates, or beats, six times per second resulting in 21,600 beats per hour! An exhibition back with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal allows you to witness first-hand the woven web of mechanics behind the dial and offers a glimpse of watchmaking artistry in motion. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal also sits inside the bezel on the front of the watch offering superior protection to the dial. The round, satin polished ceramic sunray dial in your choice of available color displays highly polished silver-tone Arabic numerals at all hour positions. CD cut, textured silver-tone sub-dials with furnace blue hands appear near 3:00 and 9:00 while a dial color coordinating sub-dial with a red hand occupies the space above 6:00. The name "Invicta" and logo shine below 12:00. A bi-level outer rim on the dial offers silver-tone dot index markers at all hour locations and silver-tone line second markers for added depth and dimension. Silver-tone Tritnite luminous hour and minute hands and a red chronograph hand collaborate to complete the charismatic dial design and confidently deliver the time. A comfortable and fluid 316L surgical grade stainless steel bracelet featuring a combination of brushed and polished links subtly tapers to 20mm and secures every detail of this finely crafted timepiece to your wrist.

Cheaper than the $375 Poljot Sturmanskies... I had a Poljot Sturmie I picked up from Marc at Island, back then they were selling for $225 those Sturmies. Anyhow, I figured for the $249 not a bad deal at all. Should arrive by May22. Will review and post pics. Price jumps up to $499 after today.

Is this the same one Scottran got? I'm not sure what to make of it... sure looks like a Chinese winder... is it Swiss. Can they be trusted. Aldovino's own YouTube productions say no!

The one scottran got is a different one, it doesnt say swiss anywhere on it. I believe this one does, now if it is true or not well that is another story.

You never really know, but Eyal "said" it was Invicta's in-house movt. a Movement that they aquired from S coifman and added to it. IIt is based on the Venus 175movement and billed as an Technica Swiss Ebauche? I think it just might be. Figured I'd get it home and see it for this price cool10.gifI was missing my old Poljot Sturmanskie hand cranker so this was a no brainer for $249. Sapphire front and back, incabloc, cranker 22 jewels, solid end links, multilink bracelet etc and of course, that Invicta peace of mind. goofy Attachment: -10.jpg (Downloaded 99 times) Last edited on Mon May 5th, 2008 07:33 pm by |

If the China movement though it could be the "Seagull ST1902 manual wind movement made in China" which is said to be a alright movement. Segull dose some rather nice work. But either way with the price if you like it and it's working fine that is what matters. ;)

the Seagull is a Awesome movement which I have in several of my mechanical chronoshand6.gif....a little FYI is that Eyal opened his own shop in China and is making watches as well as movements in house with plans of making a new movement from what I have heard through the grapevine;)
