SOLD OUT : Brand Direct: Drop x Invicta - 1960 Bronze Chronograph

Post by TheJohnP »

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.

Yep, before the Eyal Lalo era, Invicta made some nice looking watches.
Just my $0.02 USD as always.

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

Sort of, according to this - "Based on an actual Invicta doctor’s chronograph developed around 1960"
