Need a Woody?

Sorry...only the latest from Invicta.

Seems to be an expansion on the Grand Diver line with the application of teak wood.
To me Grand Divers are essentially an Omega Seamaster homage - but larger.
First Gen GDs were descent watches but no Seamaster by a long shot.
Bracelet link configuration appears to be borrowed from Renato Calibre Buzo
Hands are repurposed 2nd or 3rd Gen Corduba.
Another interesting but novelty fashion offering IMO.

Here are the specs.

Bracelet: Stainless Steel
Movement: Swiss Parts Ronda 5040.D Quartz Chronograph
Crystal: Flame Fusion
Crown: Screw Down w/ Function Pushers
Clasp: Deployant
Bracelet Measurements: 8" L x 24mm W
Case Measurements: 48mm
Water Resistance: 20 ATM - 200 meters - 660 feet
Model Number: IN0164

. . . can I be honest here?

Just not into chronographs anymore...from ANY manufacturer.

...nice strap... oh, never mind.

My favorite part of this watch is 2 things. One , another Invicta that I will never own, and
if you look at the first link on the top left side, you can see where the "wood paint" is coming off the link.......Nice touch
Only the best swiss ma.....chines........oh who knows.........I dont hate all Invictas, but there new designs do nothing for me,
and this one is just like all the rest, piece of crap in my opinion................

i just threw up in my mouth a little bit!

Ugly!

I woodn't buy it.....

It didn't give me a woody!

It makes no difference what brand this watch is or if it is a chrono or 3 hand - it is ugly. It just really is. It could be from Omega and I would still think it is terribly ugly.

The original Automatic Grand Divers are still one of my favorite watches and I wear it a lot. This one looks ridiculous to me.

B fing u. I love how eyal made it a point to say Swiss parts over and over..........parts is parts. Just ask the people who make chicken nuggets,,,,,,,,,

Yep.

Fugly period!

Another Invicta POS IMHO. Sorry, they have had some descent watches (mostly pre-05) but this one ain't.

Definitely an interesting combination Jaw !..I know there
have been watches in the past that have used wood
in some form or another, and I guess this is a new twist
on the theme ! The dial, along with the center links have
a neat pattern in the wood. Also think the 12 to 3 o'clock
area of the bezel has a unique look by the way ! Wonder
if this will be a trend in the not too distant future or not !
..Thank you sir !!!

Looks more like contact paper or drawer liner than wood

How about this? From 1988. Tissot WoodWatch.

The entire case is solid wood.



I also have a RockWatch.

Hamilton in 2007 did a cool Riva watch with a planked dial. Riva was a vintage boat maker. This was one I would look at.

That Riva Hamilton would be a cool one to own, Kurt. The Tissot is certainly interesting.

Now thats the funniest thing I've read all day


Too bad its sad but true.

Wow, Mrsnak !!! That Tissot Woodwatch is REALLY something
right there. Some VERY cool patterns on the dial, as well as the
case itself !..The Rockwatch must be AMAZING by the way too !
..With the Hamilton, that planked dial is very subtle, and the watch
is VERY nice imho !..Neat stuff ! Thank you !!!

Is that sealed teak? It would be interesting if it wasn't...oiling your bracelet every year to avoid it turning grey


that is, if it is really teak...could be some other cheap tropical hardwood...just sayin, it isn't out of the realm of possibilities with Invicta

they said that the links arent wood coated but solid wood links....hmm....I dont know why i just never buy this stuff...I refuse to believe
