Russian diver watches are one of the most renowned and respected scuba diving watches available. A little larger than most diver or scuba watches, they cannot go unnoticed when worn.

Russian Diver Watch Style Makes Them Stand Out

Not only are they great timepieces for what they were designed for (wearing while scuba diving), they are also great conversation starters at parties and social gatherings. Many single men wear Russian diving watches to show not only their style, but also as an easy wear to begin conversations with those whom they would like to meet.

Several companies now make replicas or modified Russian diving watches. These companies include Poljot, Vostok and Invicta. Invicta, which has been around since 1837, is probably the leader and easily the most recognized name in Russian diving watches.

Although Invicta suffered hard times during the quartz watch boom of the 1970s they have come back into the mainstream because their watches are precision made Swiss pieces with styling that is easily recognized and appreciated.

Russian Diver Watches Range From Simple To Splendid

Invicta carries a large selection of Russian diver watches with their prices ranging from $100 for the practically minded up to over $1000 for those who enjoy the finest in precision and style. These watches are beautiful and well made, many constructed of surgical stainless steel or titanium.

Of course these and other watch making companies also produce exquisite Skeleton watches. Skeleton watches are those mechanical watches whose moving parts are visible though the face of the watch, the back of the watch or through a small cut that outlines the dial.

Some Invicta Russian Diver Watch Reviews

All reviews I have read of the Invicta Russian diver watches have been positive, some have even been down right overflowing with praise. Most comment on the accuracy and beauty of the watch.

One reviewer said he owns five Invicta Russian diver watches. While another commented that due to the size of the watch he finds it difficult to fit under his shirt sleeve cuff and that in meetings he and his associates often discover themselves getting mesmerized by the internal motion of the gears and springs instead of being contributing members to their meetings.

One reviewer did mention that because of its size and bulk that the canteen stem cap slightly chafes his wrist while riding his motorcycle. He also recommends if you are considering buying one that you try it on before purchasing. And because of its immense popularity, there are now also Russian diving watches for women.

Russian Diver Watches: Invicta, Poljot & Vostok

As mentioned earlier, although Invicta may be the most well known maker of Russian Diver watches, several other companies also make them. The other more prominent companies for Russian Diver watch manufacturing are Poljot and Vostok.

How did such an original and intriguing watch, as the Russian diving watch, come to be? It was originally designed as a military watch for the elite divers of the Russian Special Forces, known as Diversants, by order of the Ministry of Defense, USSR. It was made by the Zlatoustovsky watch makers. This special watch needed to be big enough to fit over the divers suits, withstand extreme amounts of pressure and be able to be read in low light and murky conditions.
