Invicta's Skeleton Prowler - Stylish Boldness and Technical Challenge

Those who adore eye-catching, unconventionally designed timepieces have long discovered Invicta. The brand's watches are distinguished due to a bold and colorful design. Invicta's fans rival for owning its limited edition and technically advanced timepieces. These are available through on-line auctions and on Shop NBC, one of Invicta's important sales channels. Prices for the majority of watches produced by the brand range below $ 2,000 mark.

Invicta has recently introduced a new timepiece, the Skeleton Prowler, that has become highly demanded among watch collectors who appreciated its bright colors and innovative, rotating-dial hour hand. The dial of the timepiece features a special cutaway demonstrating the watch's mechanical movement while it is turning clockwise indicating the hours. Conventional hands traversing the moving dial indicate minutes and seconds.

The Skeleton Prowler became a fresh interpretation of a skeleton watch. The brand's watchmakers designed the timepiece with rotating dial that allowed displaying a new part of the movement every hour. However, the date window represented a real technical challenge. The date ring is placed under the bezel and the date window is found at 6 o'clock.

The Skeleton Prowler's unusual design paralyzes the glance. It is a rather big-sized timepiece with a case measuring 44 mm in diameter. The metallic blue case features plain stainless steel lugs. The watch has been created in a variety of color variations - black and gold tone, blue and gold, and black and silver. Almost every detail of the Prowler's case has an unusual grid-like texture, including the rotating dial and bezel. The same theme is revealed through vertical lines seen on the sides of the case, reminding a kind of an architectural column. The Prowler's bracelet comprises textured inner links that add more sportiness to the overall watch's look.

The watch's screw-down case-back is one more proof of its top manufacturing quality. A Swiss Sellita automatic movement powers the Skeleton Prowler.

Invicta has also developed a more affordably priced quartz model - the Chronograph Prowler available just for $ 895 (compare it to $ 1, 895 for the Skeleton Prowler). The case of the watch is also 44 mm in diameter. It demonstrates a sporty two-color design. The timepiece will surely attract attention to the wrist of its owner due to successful combination of ionic black PVD and golden steel. Inside the case there operates the Swiss Ronda 5040D quartz chronograph movement.

Both the Skeleton Prowler and the Chronograph Prowler are 100-meters water-resistant. They are protected by mineral crystal glass. Invicta provides the models with one-year limited warranty. credit:watch-fashion
