My new Russian Diver II (#2932)

[aerowizz]

After seeing the Russian Diver II from another forum member here, I had to get it considering that it seems that this timepiece is not available anymore. I got got an incredible deal on this watch from Amazon as always, considering the unique look and quality build of this Swiss Made timepiece. I would have paid twice as much for this piece and still feel it was a great value.

I really like the vintage ivory dial look of this watch, as well as the open heart feature displaying a glimpse of the UNITAS Mechanical movement of this watch. I have the square diver, and the titanium diver, and this piece is an excellent addition to mt Russian Diver collection considering that each of these watches have their own distinctive look and feel.

Kudos to Invicta for producing the Russian Diver Line, as I love large mechanical watches with Swiss made movements.....this is the type of watch that is truly unique to Invicta...at least in the U.S. anyway.

Hey, you and foghorn will now be twinsies, aero. Nice pickup.

I think we are getting a nice little subsection of Russian Diver fans.
We'll have a borscht festival soon I think. ;D

Watch looks great!

Thanks for the comments. I am looking at replacing the stock leather band with the Invicta Crocodile band when I find them.

I had to special order the official Invicta crocodile strap for the Russian Diver from one of the forum sponsors. No one seems to carry these in stock for some reason. Will post pics with the new band when I get it.

I relaced the stock strap with this one-also from a forum sponsor.
It gives the watch a much nicer look than the stock strap.
Too bad it's mostly for my eyes only. (and a selct few others)

Sounds very hush-hush, CIA-ish, foggy. You aren't Jason Bourne are you?

I agree, I did not like the stock strap either, but it is an awesome case/dial combo. You should wear it out in public. I wear all my Russian divers and Invictas daily, I only wear my higher end Tag Heuer and my Tissot on occasion.

da watch is awesome invicta did a great design on this one, and that open heart is just a wonder.

not being a fan of non-auto watches i still like this one.

That's a nice looking watch, aero. Good for you!

Thanks guys for the kind comments. I finally got my new Invicta Crocodile Leather Band made specifically for the Russian Diver series. I am a nut, and I only like getting bands or bracelets made by the specific watch company. Anyway, the Discount Watch Store was kind enough to special order this band from the catalog at below the retail value, and I received it within 2 days of ordering. The Crocodile strap adds a touch of vintage elegance to this great Swiss Made watch..... ;D
