It’s a super-sized edition of The Movement to honor one monster of a watch: the Limited-Edition Subaqua NOMA 2. At nearly half a pound in weight and twenty millimeters in height, this mammoth machine is twice the timepiece and can take on just about anything. Including a five hundred meter plunge! It’s just one of the pieces in this issue that were recently unveiled at the world’s biggest watch shows. Plus, we’ll go back stage at the Tony Awards, Daytime Emmy Awards and Zootopia!

So get ready for our biggest issue ever!

There have been many special Invicta Divers in our history. But one, the Subaqua, has carved out an ocean-sized chasm in the hearts and minds of Invicta collectors. Very few have been offered since its debut in 2003, which explains the fervid anticipation for the next generation. Well the wait is over, but the opportunity will not last long. Only 1,000 examples of this hefty piece will be offered and then it’s gone. Completely hand built in our La Chaux-de-Fonds workshop, the NOMA 2 has an extremely bold case design constructed of solid 316L stainless steel and is outfitted with two sapphire crystals 7 millimeters thick. All of which serves its ability to be water resistant to 50 atmospheres (500 meters). Here are the details:

Movement: mechanical; automatic-winding; Valjoux 7750 caliber base modified to support the chronograph functions; ball bearing; stop second device; date corrector; 25 jewels; 28,000 vph; and ETACHON with regulator adjuster.
Functions: hour, minute, seconds; date; chronograph with three counters.
Case: ø 46mm; extreme design; polished and brushed surgical-grade 316L solid stainless steel; unidirectional rotating bezel with diver’s scale, triple screw-down crown, pushers and case back; antireflective sapphire crystal (7mm thick); water resistant to 50 ATM (500 meters/1650 feet).
Dial: silver, blue or black; patterned; minute track on the flange; stainless steel sport hands with gas-filled luminescent tubes and applied luminescent markers; date window; chronograph counters.
Bracelet: polished and brushed surgical-grade 316L solid stainless steel; diver buckle; safety clasp.

With a waiting list as big as its diameter, our 1959 Russian Diver has become the must-have timepiece of 2005. Now with the addition of an open heartbeat, a sixty second counter, and two new dial colors (white and ivory), the new 2 should warrant quite a list of its own. While the original was an automatic, the 2 goes old school with a mechanical hand-winding Swiss UNTIAS caliber 6498 movement. It also features markers completely filled with pure Tritnite® for outstanding nighttime visibility.



 

  
 

 

 

 

 

  
 

As well built as the Speedway Chronometer we introduced in Issue 18, the new Swiss-made Speedway Chronograph is just as impressive. In fact, it’s nearly identical. It starts with the incredible Swiss ETA 2894 automatic movement with chronograph functions and date display. Then it’s on to the brand new design of the case, dial and bracelet. It’s capped off by a gorgeous steel and gold presentation, an Invicta Blue dial, and a pinpoint fit and finish. Read the complete Review of the Speedway Chronometer here, to see what kind of quality you’re getting with this new Chronograph.

 




  
 






 

  
 

If you’re a long time Invicta fan, or even a newcomer to the brand, you know one thing for certain – nothing beats the quality and value of our Auto Pro Diver line. So consider this low-priced Limited-Edition piece, complete with a carbon fiber dial and sapphire crystal, to be a big wet kiss to those of you who love this line as much as we do. Only 1,500 will be offered and then it’s gone. Read the Review here.

 

 

 

  
 

 

 

  
 
  Its combination of complications amazed the critics. Its incredibly smart price point wowed retailers. And now, its classic good looks grace the July cover of IW. A resounding phenomenon of the highest caliber, our Perpetual Calendar Minute Repeater has trumpeted a new era of design for Invicta and has put the rest of the industry on notice. You can read more about it in Issue 17.5, or read the full Review of this miraculous value here.    

 



 

 

  

 

 

 




It is becoming a white-hot summer for this white-metal marvel. Previously featured in Issues 21 and 22, the Lady Diver Pavé is back again due to popular demand. Ladies in love with its 30-millimeter diameter and 2.5 carat weight are making it a summer must have. While its solid surgical grade stainless steel construction, diver buckle with safety, and automatic Swiss movement are popular with retailers who are proud to offer more for less. After all, shouldn’t everyone be happy and in love?

  
 

 

If we’ve learned one thing in all our years as watchmakers, it’s this – when women talk, listen. Ladies have been asking for a stainless steel Baby Lupah with a mother-of-pearl dial. So who are we to deny them? But first, we subject it to the scrutinizing gaze of The Critical Eye. Read the Review here.

Stage Night: The term Talent Lounge was elevated to new heights at this year’s Tony Awards. We were fortunate to be asked to present our pieces to the presenters and performers for Broadway’s biggest night. Among those taking home an Invicta timepiece were Bernadette Peters, Nathan Lane, Doris Roberts, Jeff Goldblum and the legendary Chita Rivera.



  
 
 
 
 

 

Sunny Days: We were back for the second consecutive year at the Daytime Emmy Awards. On hand to accept the biggest prizes of the night were stars like Antonio Sabato Jr., Rachel Ray, Eric Braeden and Big Bird himself – Carol Spinney!



  
 
 
 
 

It’s all Happening at the Zoo:
We were backstage with the stars of Z100’s Zootopia Concert in NYC like Fat Joe, Jesse McCartney, The Backstreet Boys and frequent Invicta recipients The Black Eyed Peas.

 

 

    
 



 



 



 

 

The trend in men’s diamond pieces (Issue 20) is still going strong thanks to pieces like the Lupah Diamond Sub Crystal. But when it comes to diamonds and watches, the ladies pave the way. No one has a yen for high-end pavé pieces like women do. And why not? Diamonds are truly a girl’s best friend. Which is why our new Metro Swiss Pavé drew so much attention at the 2005 JCK Show in Las Vegas. Based on our popular Charmed collection, the Swiss-made Metro is powered by a Swiss quartz movement, and bears the same hourglass-shaped case constructed of solid 316L stainless steel. It is available with a polished steel finish or plated in our everlasting 23KT Swiss Gold. But it’s the pavé punch provided by more than 5 carats of diamonds on the dial, case and bracelet that attracted sightseers like the Fountains at Bellagio. You may just be looking at the hottest pavé piece of the year.
