The Invicta Pro Diver 6983 Blue Dial Chronograph, with its Swiss movement, 18k gold plated stainless steel case and a durable mineral crystal is a distinctive timepiece. It is water resistant to 100m
The stainless steel and polyurethane band in gold and black makes a strong and functional statement.
However, with distinction comes imitation and the Pro Diver is no exception. Cheap China counterfeits are available that look very similar to the authentic Invicta Pro Diver but differ significantly in quality. The sub-dials in the counterfeit Pro Diver watch do not function and the counterfeit is missing the stainless steel and polyurethane band. And, don't count on your counterfeit "Pro Diver" being waterproof.
