Invicta Men's 3771 Specialty Collection Skeleton Prowler Automatic Watch

Invicta Watch Looking for a little edge? Invicta's Skeleton Prowler offers this unique design in solid steel with black ionic grid pattern plating. This Swiss-made automatic watch features a black grid dial with luminous hour and minute hands and a sweep second hands. A cut-out window on the hour hand allows a view of the inner workings of the watch, and the dial plate itself rotates as it marks the time. The dial is capped with an anti-reflective hardened mineral crystal and framed by a wide grid bezel with bold Arabic numerals signifying the hours. In a unique design feature, the bezel also holds the automatic date calendar, featured at the six o'clock position. The watch is showcased on a black ionic PVD plated steel bracelet with silvertone knurled inserts. It boasts Swiss automatic movement, visible through an exhibition case back, and is rated water resistant to 100 meters. Specialty Collection Automatic Watches Automatic watches do not operate on batteries. Automatic watches are made up of about 130 or more parts that work together to tell time. Automatic movements mark the passage of time by a series of gear mechanisms, and are wound by the movement of your wrist as you wear it. The gear train then transmits the power to the escapement, which distributes the impulses, turning the balance wheel. The balance wheel is the time regulating organ of a mechanical watch, which vibrates on a spiral hairspring. Lengthening or shortening the balance spring makes the balance wheel go faster or slower to advance or retard the watch. The travel of the balance wheel from one extreme to the other and back again is called oscillation. Lastly, automatic movements come in different types, including movements that are Swiss-made, Japanese-made, and more.Also referred to as self-winding, watches with automatic movements utilize kinetic energy, the swinging of your arm, to provide energy to an oscillating rotor to keep the watch ticking. They're considered more satisfying to watch collectors (horologists) because of the engineering artistry that goes into the hundreds of parts that make up the movement. If you do not wear an automatic watch consistently (for about 8 to 12 hours a day), you can keep the watch powered with a watch winder (a great gift for collectors).
