SOLD OUT : Brand Direct: Drop x Invicta - 1960 Bronze Chronograph
After two Glycine collabs, Drop has now partnered with Invicta on a vintage inspired chrono preorder.
https://drop.com/buy/drop-invicta-1960- ... raph-watch
Drop x Invicta 1960 Chronograph
Drop preorder price is $299
Regular price will be $360
Estimated ship date is Nov 10, 2020
The 1960 Chronograph Watch is a tribute to Invicta’s heritage, and a trip back in time to the classic watch era. Based on an actual Invicta doctor’s chronograph developed around 1960, this mid-century timepiece features a bronze case that develops a natural patina over time. Just like the original, the dial has two subdials and a combination of red and blue accents that make up the telemeter and pulsometer scales. In tandem with the chronograph, the pulsometer can be used to track your pulse (where the moniker “Doctors” comes from), and the telemeter can be used for distance and other measurements. With an anti-reflective domed sapphire crystal, the watch is scratch-resistant and legible. It gets power from a unique Meca-Quartz movement—a best-of-both-worlds movement with a sweeping seconds hand.
Choose between a white dial with brown leather strap or black dial with black leather strap.
*NOTE* - Images of this watch are 3D renders for illustration purposes only. The final product may differ slightly.

- Case material: Bronze CUSN8

Yep, before the Eyal Lalo era, Invicta made some nice looking watches.
Just my $0.02 USD as always.
Re: PREORDER: Brand Direct: Drop x Invicta - 1960 Bronze Chronograph
So this is a reissue of a vintage Invicta?

Someone in the Drop discussion asked if the side of the case will be engraved, hope the answer is no
Edit: asked and answered. No engraving
