Invicta Pro Diver Wood Watch
I am not always a fan of Invicta watches, but with the number of pieces they release, there are bound to be some cool ones. Lately I have been fascinated with watches that have wood in them. Some watches are all wood, while others use the material for the dial, or other elements of the watch. Invicta has taken wood and used it in their Pro Diver watch, for the “Pro Diver Wood” watch. You can see that wood is used as the center link in the bracelet, as well as for the dial.The wood used is actually teak – a popular wood when it comes to water resistance.

While the dial isn’t the epitome of clarity, it is considered “unbusy” by Invicta standards. In all steel, the case is 48mm wide, and actually have a really attractive looking rotating diver’s bezel.

It contains the COSC-certified ETA 2836, with a 38-hour power reserve and a -4/+6 accuracy rating, which puts it within the top 6% of Swiss made watches. The rotor is finished w
