With its gold-tone stainless steel case and matching band, this watch delivers a bold, confident look that transitions seamlessly from everyday wear to more refined settings.

Originally released in 2008, the Model 9010 carries a legacy within the Invicta Pro Diver series, known for its robust construction and nautical-inspired aesthetics. Its discontinued status has only increased its appeal among collectors and fans of vintage-style timepieces. Whether you’re drawn to its mechanical reliability, its striking appearance, or its rarity, this watch offers a compelling combination of features for practical use and personal enjoyment.
Key Features
- Automatic Movement – The watch is powered by an automatic (self-winding) caliber that operates through the natural movement of the wearer’s wrist. This eliminates the need for frequent battery changes and ensures consistent timekeeping as long as the watch is worn regularly. For periods of non-use, a manual wind may be required to restart it.
- Gold-Tone Stainless Steel Case and Band – Both the case and the bracelet are constructed from durable stainless steel finished in a rich gold tone. This material resists corrosion and everyday scratches while maintaining a polished, luxurious look that complements a variety of styles.
- Chronograph Functionality – The watch includes subdials that allow for precise measurement of elapsed time, making it useful for timing workouts, sporting events, or other activities where split-second accuracy matters. The chronograph function adds both utility and visual depth to the dial.
- Diver-Inspired Design Elements – While not rated for professional diving, the watch incorporates classic dive watch features such as a unidirectional rotating bezel and a substantial, easy-to-read dial. These elements enhance its rugged character and make it suitable for light water exposure, such as swimming or snorkeling.
- Discontinued Collector’s Item – As a model no longer in production, the 9010 holds special interest for collectors seeking authentic, older Invicta timepieces. Its availability is limited, which may increase its desirability over time.
