Nevertheless, its casual appearance will make it suitable for any other outfit or occasion.<\/p>\n<p>The dial is not very large, but the black background makes the hour markers and hands stand out and remain legible. It also features a magnified date window.<\/p>\n<p>The entire dial of the Invicta 8926ob is coated with Lume to make it glow in the dark, although users of this watch report that the brightness doesn&#8217;t last very long.<\/p>\n<p>The crystal is of mineral type, which is not the best option to prevent scratches, but considering the price of this watch, we can&#8217;t expect <a href=\"https:\/\/relojes.wiki\/en\/tipos-de-cristales\/#Sapphire_Crystal_9_MOH\">sapphire crystal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the strap is made of stainless steel and has a width of 20 mm, which might be a bit flimsy for the sturdiness typically found in straps of this type, but it serves its purpose well.<\/p>\n<h2>\u271a What&#8217;s the difference between Invicta 8996 and 8926ob?<\/h2>\n<p>The difference between the 8996 and the 8926ob is simply the bezel, specifically its edge. Invicta manufactures its Pro Diver with two different bezels: the serrated edge bezel, similar to Rolex, and the smooth edge bezel, similar to Omega.<\/p>\n<p>Internally, they are the same, but the 8996ob features the Old Bezel (OB) with the serrated edge, just like the Submariner.<\/p>\n<p>These images show the difference between both:<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n    <div class=\"aawp-grid aawp-grid--col-2\">\n\n            \n        <div class=\"aawp-grid__item\">\n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--vertical aawp-product--style-light aawp-product--css-adjust-image-large\"  data-aawp-product-asin=\"B000JQFX1G\" data-aawp-product-id=\"31350\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"relojeswiki-21\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Invicta Pro Diver Reloj Autom\u00e1tico para Hombre de acero inoxidable - 40mm\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\" data-aawp-local-click-tracking=\"1\">\n\n    \n    <a class=\"aawp-product__image--link aawp-product__image\"\n       href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.es\/dp\/B000JQFX1G?tag=relojeswiki-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1\" title=\"Invicta Pro Diver Reloj Autom\u00e1tico para Hombre de acero inoxidable - 40mm\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n        <img class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41eGDSUXwrL.jpg\" alt=\"Invicta Pro Diver Reloj Autom\u00e1tico para Hombre de acero inoxidable - 40mm\"  \/>\n    <\/a>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.es\/dp\/B000JQFX1G?tag=relojeswiki-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1\" title=\"Invicta Pro Diver Reloj Autom\u00e1tico para Hombre de acero inoxidable - 40mm\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Invicta Pro Diver Reloj Autom\u00e1tico para Hombre de...        <\/a>\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__meta\">\n            \n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__footer\">\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__pricing\">\n\n            \n                    <\/div>\n\n                <a class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button aawp-button--green\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.es\/dp\/B000JQFX1G?tag=relojeswiki-21&#038;linkCode=osi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"SEE PRICE ON AMAZON\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">SEE PRICE ON AMAZON<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n    \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>\u271a Invicta 8926ob vs Rolex Submariner<\/h2>\n<p>Obviously, the Invicta 8926ob cannot compete with the Rolex Submariner in any aspect, as it costs several thousand euros less.

However, this doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s not a good movement.<\/p>\n<p>According to the manufacturer, its precision is around -10~+30 seconds per day, although with proper adjustments (as they usually come from the factory), they can achieve much better accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also true that with this type of low-range calibers, it&#8217;s somewhat of a lottery \u2013 some users report precision of +-5 seconds daily, while others report values of +-20 seconds. So it seems that it all depends on your luck.<\/p>\n<p>Setting that aside, the Seiko NH35A is a 24-jewel movement that operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour (6 beats per second), offering a power reserve of up to 41 hours.<\/p>\n<p>It may not be the best in the market, but undoubtedly, there are few automatic watches that can be acquired for the price of this Invicta.<\/p>\n<h2>\u271a Is it a good purchase?<\/h2>\n<p>It all depends on the intended use of the watch. If you&#8217;re looking for a watch similar to the Submariner to use as a fashionable accessory, paying a fraction of the price of a Rolex, then it&#8217;s undoubtedly a good choice.<\/p>\n<p>However, if what you truly need is a professional diving watch, it&#8217;s not a good idea to rely on a watch at this price point for deep dives, even if it&#8217;s rated for 200 meters of water resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Although the brand markets it as a professional diving watch, no one wants to see their watch filling with water when entering the sea. So, despite sounding ridiculous for a dive watch, it&#8217;s better not to submerge it too much to avoid any mishaps.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, our recommendation is to purchase it from stores that offer a good warranty and return policy, such as Amazon. This way, if the watch malfunctions, you can easily return it or exchange it for another one without any issues.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you&#8217;re looking for a truly reliable automatic diving watch that&#8217;s not excessively expensive, you can always consider renowned <a href=\"https:\/\/relojes.wiki\/seiko\/monster\/\">Seiko Monster<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/relojes.wiki\/en\/orient\/mako-2\/\">Orient Mako<\/a> watches, which are slightly more expensive.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we will analyze the Invicta 8926ob Pro Diver Automatic, a robust and elegant diving watch inspired by the popular &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2950,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[14],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/relojes.wiki\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8686"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/relojes.wiki\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/relojes.wiki\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/relojes.wiki\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/relojes.wiki\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8686"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/relojes.wiki\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8686\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8687,"href":"https:\/\/relojes.wiki\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8686\/revisions\/8687"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/relojes.wiki\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2950"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/relojes.wiki\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/relojes.wiki\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/relojes.wiki\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
