INVICTA HISTORY IN THE MAKING HISTORY IN THE MAKING Latin for “INVINCIBLE,” Invicta is led by innovation and nurtured with the consistency of quality and brand personality. Founded more than a century ago in 1837 in Chiasso, Switzerland, with the belief that supremely crafted timepieces can be offered for modest sums, Invicta holds true to this objective today. Originally crafting mechanical and automatic timepieces, Invicta, set a new pace and in 2000 the brand focused on designing a perfectly fitting, oversized timepiece. This focus delivered the professional dive watch, the Ocean Ghost, and the iconic Lupah collection. The brand has since grown, now encompassing over 30 diverse collections. SEC. 09 ISSUE NR 1 YEAR 2017
INVICTA INVINCIBLE THROUGH TIME INVINCIBLE THROUGH TIME The forward thinking energy of The Invicta Watch Group continues its brazen journey while still firmly rooted in the origins of its founding. Invicta is now known for manufacturing detailed mechanical timepieces as well as being internationally recognized as the masters of case complications; taking the detailed art of case construction to new levels and bringing forth timepieces of inspired exception. This meticulous approach to watchmaking has culminated to include technically advanced watches. INVICTA TECHNOMARINE
HISTORY IN DETAIL 1837 Latin for “invincible,” Invicta is founded in La Chauxde-Fonds, Switzerland, by Raphael Picard. Invicta handcrafts its first watches with the belief that fine Swiss timepieces could be offered at modest prices. 1837-1970’s For more than a century, the company creates manual and automatic-winding pieces of exceptional design and construction 1959 An inspired foreshadowing of the future, the USSR’s Council of Labor and Defense commissions Invicta to create a Swiss-made watch exclusively for the officers of the naval fleet. 1991 With focused determination the brand is positioned to offer a large segment of the watch-buying public unprecedented access to fine Swiss quality at prices well within their reach. 1998 The Invicta Pro Diver collection launches and with its jeweled automatic movements, high waterresistance and superior construction achieves a prominent status among collectors. 2000 The iconic Lupah Swiss Chronograph debuts. With a patented oversized case, rounded crystal, distinctive dials and colorful straps, this line creates a major sensation. 2006 Invicta establishes the Invicta Care Foundation. The nonprofit charitable Invicta Care Foundation came to life in the hopes of improving it. With a dedicated interest in helping, serving and empowering those less fortunate, Care and its mission is an integral aspect of the core values held by Invicta Watch. 2012 Invicta opens its 1st retail store at the Town Center Mall in Boca Raton, FL. 2013 Invicta is honored with the internationally prestigious Red Dot Award in Product Design for the Subaqua NOMA V. An internationally recognized quality seal for excellence, Red Dot only recognizes the finest and most innovative products. 2015 Invicta acquires the luxury brand, TechnoMarine. Invicta opens its flagship store and 17th Stores location in Times Square, New York City. 2016 Invicta embarks on a collaboration with the Walt Disney Company, producing a Limited Edition Series, Disney – LIMITED EDITION. The brand acquires the distinguished Swiss brand, Glycine. S. COIFMAN GLYCINE SEC. 11 ISSUE NR 1 YEAR 2017
INVICTA STEP INSIDE THE DETAILS STEP INSIDE THE DETAILS When Invicta Watch first opened its doors in 1837, the founding focus had always been to build superior watches for all, not just a select few. This inclusive belief has remained the driving force behind each era of the company’s growth since that time in Switzerland so long ago. In keeping that belief an active focus, it is at the fore of all executions in design and engineering. Today, Invicta embodies an accomplished, unprecedented range of timepieces geared to suit the particular taste and price point of all customers and collectors while delivering outstanding performance and quality. Always looking to advance and perfect, we continue to successfully set new standards within the watch industry. Since its founding, Invicta has grown and now encompasses 30 collections, over 50 Invicta Retail Stores locations worldwide and three diverse brands: TechnoMarine, S. Coifman and Glycine. Throughout Invicta’s history, the marketing speaks directly to its position within the journey. For example, whether it’s “Some Myths are Real,” “Turning the Balance of Power” or the latest campaign, “Invincible in Detail,” the brand's advertising has always echoed the company’s dedication to and realization of mastering case complications as well as successfully designing a perfectly fitting, oversized timepiece. This focus has delivered the iconic Lupah collection, Russian Diver, Bolt, Venom and the award winning Subaqua. In 2013, the Invicta Subaqua NOMA V was bestowed with the prestigious Red Dot Award in Product Design.
The Red Dot Award is an internationally recognized quality seal for excellence in aesthetic forms and timeless trends. The model faced off against over 1,800 manufacturers, designers and architects from 54 countries. The jury, comprised of 37 top ranking professionals, mindfully tested and evaluated 4,662 works in order to reach their conclusions. Four years in the making, Invicta’s engineers realized this timepiece exclusively in-house. With a transformed, innovative pusher complication, 36 individual micro-engineered components and a bracelet boasting individual frame protectors, the Subaqua NOMA V raised the stakes for both the brand itself but also, for the watch industry. A momentum that only gathers more speed and expertise, in 2016 Invicta began collaborating with the Walt Disney Company to develop the collection, Disney – LIMITED EDITION. The series features various renderings of Mickey Mouse and other characters on the dial. Instant collector’s pieces, Disney – LIMITED EDITION is proving to be yet another high point in brand evolution. 2017 opens with a new campaign and a return to Baselworld. “Invincible in Detail” will officially launch in Basel. As Invicta is Latin for “invincible” the new campaign translates the essence of the word meaning into a visual work of art. The campaign takes this spirited theme a step further focusing in on the design details for which Invicta has been known. The synergy of the epic landscapes with the precision of each detail, gives those iconic aspects a functionality in an entirely new context thus taking the viewer into the life force of the timepieces and the brand. Also at Baselworld 2017, Invicta along with its family of brands will be debuting the latest timepieces and new collections. Each brand will be represented independently, bringing innovative and exceptional time to the Baselworld stage. This year, Invicta continues to elevate and innovate its case work. In particular, three new captivating releases will be at the helm for the brand. The Invicta Bolt Sport, the Invicta Poseidon, and the new collection, Invicta Reserve Thin. All three speak directly to the inherent ingenuity that defines Invicta. SEC. 13 ISSUE NR 1 YEAR 2017
The Invicta Bolt Sport is a powerhouse of design and construction. Led by the precision of a Swiss quartz movement, the model is forged with muscle and boasts an impressive case diameter of 48mm. Rubberized frames have been molded with absolute precision, providing shock absorption to protect the thick signature Bolt cable and the case body. Meticulous engineering solved the challenge of the strong recoil force of the 5mm cable while a high-tech elastic material has been mindfully placed over the top to prevent scratching. The mineral crystal offers further durability while the carbon dial is an eloquent execution of visionary design. The Invicta Bolt Sport features a screw-down crown and water resistance up to 200 meters. The emphasized rubber frame also anchors the watch, revealing a new direction in the fashionable wear-ability of a truly formidable watch. Forged from the Invicta Subaqua collection, the Poseidon is taking command of all time. Known as the “God of the Sea,” Poseidon is an apt name for this timing masterpiece. Ruling the sea with the powerful Trident in hand, the unique inspiration for this series carries on throughout the details and depths of its outstanding performance. Boasting a Swiss quartz movement and sitting at a noble 50mm, the domineering design has conquered an engineering challenge producing a skeletonized, Trident shaped crown protector. With an eloquent curvature, the case body is reminiscent of the Manta Ray, reinforcing the oceanic theme. The Trident on the bracelet end-piece enhances the overall design, while the Tri-riders on the bezel are an added reflection of this, “Crown of Authority.” A high-seas definitive, the Invicta Poseidon offers a screw-down crown, brilliant Tritnite luminous features on the hands and markers and the model is 500 meters water resistant and tested. Invicta has again expanded its vision of case contruction and introduces the Invicta Reserve Thin. Taking time to a new level of complexity, the collection masters a sought after aesthetic, designed for optimum performance. Striking in size and design, Invicta watchmakers have successfully reduced the internal clearance between components resulting in a new high precision standard for assembly of the complex module. All internal parts are integrated together resulting in a case housing made of '316L' stainless steel to achieve minimal wall thickness (technically below 1mm). A Sapphire crystal ensures additional durability, protection as well as enabling a 0.5mm thickness with 2 ATM water resistance. The radius edges that extend from the case body to the ends of the band serve to enhance the visual impact of the timepiece’s slimness. Successfully innovating the attitude of minimalism, The Invicta Reserve Thin, transforms the precision of time into a power ful experience of ultimate gain. Given the illustrious arena, it is with great enthusiasm, the Invicta Watch Group looks forward to day-viewing and providing an authentic and comprehensive experience for all the brands. A new chapter in watchmaking tradition returns to Baselworld; the newly acquired Glycine will be joining Invicta, TechnoMarine, and S. Coifman. This historic Swiss company, responsible for the groundbreaking splittime Airman timepiece, will be returning to the marketplace. In 2017, the Airman tradition will continue along with a new brand campaign, “Be an Airman” to be unveiled exclusively at Baselworld. With an invitation to step into their intriguing and accomplished details, Invicta Watch is certain to continue to captivate fans, collectors, and customers.

SEC. 19 ISSUE NR 1 YEAR 2017 INVICTA BEHIND THE SCENES BEHIND THE SCENES If Invicta is ‘invincible in detail’ then how is it possible for a campaign crew to invincibly form the pay off? The Dutch know what to do with that. In Den Bosch they hatched a plan that initially was met with resistance. Because how do you accentuate all the beautiful details of the Invicta watches in a surprising way without falling back on cliché images? Yet, no question is too far-out for those who work with spirit and dedication to the development of what must become not only original and persuasive but also a captivating campaign. And, a campaign to be revealed at Baselworld 2017. Top photographer John Jansen relishes every challenge. In his Rotterdam studio, the most ingenious compositions are created to execute the ideas from the Art Director with absolute precision. Because everything needs to be perfect, not one detail is left to chance. The success of, "Invincible in Detail" depends upon each model, both person and timepiece, positioned just right. Whether a mountain climber, dancer, woman on the beach, workman or the watches, each pose has to be accurately measured and captured at just the right angle.
In order to match the background image, the models must be positioned in frame down to the smallest measurement. Working this way generates compelling visual material but also reveals the heart of Invicta. Each photograph articulates an engaging synergy between exceptional watchmaking and environmental elements. What results is an energy that operates in the spirit and the capability of each Invicta timepiece. It is through the details in design engineering and construction that the Invicta customer continually discovers ultimate satisfaction.

SWITZERLAND BIEL/BIENNE WELCOME TO SWITZERLAND Switzerland, the world of watchmaking and high quality go hand in hand. For so many reasons, Invicta Watch Group has a warm heart for this independent European country. Invicta was founded here in 1837 and its family of brands enjoys a rich and ongoing history in Switzerland. And, a notable highlight for the group is definitely, the world’s largest annual jewelry and watch event, located here, Baselworld.

SWITZERLAND BIEL/BIENNE DINNER BIEL/BIENNE In Biel/Bienne both German and French are spoken. It is the only city in Switzerland that is officially bilingual. Street names and official documents are displayed in both languages. The German name is Biel, the French name is Bienne. Since 2005, the double Biel/Bienne, with a slash, has been the official name. Biel/Bienne is considered the beating heart of watchmaking where Swiss craftsmanship is still performed with love and passion. Many quality brands originated from here. Along with watchmaking, the city is also recognized as industry leaders, particularly in the field of communications. With an ideal location, Biel/Bienne is an attractive tourist destination. Surrounded by lush landscapes that feature three breathtaking lakes and forests, boat tours are definitely a must. A point where nature meets the arts and industry, Biel/Bienne has something special for everyone. OSTERIA DA WILLY For a truly authentic taste of Italy, OSTERIA DA WILLY is the right place in Biel.

SWITZERLAND BIEL/BIENNE On the northern shore of Bienne lake, you can stroll along ‘Grape Road’ and get yourself schooled in all things, wine, at the fabulous Ligerz Wine Museum. Biel/Bienne is not far from the deep green, hilly landscape of the Jura with its extensive forest and dazzling views. On top of that, the surroundings of Biel/Bienne is heaven for the sports enthusiast and for that reason alone, worth a visit. The historical city center of Biel/Bienne was built between 1220 and 1230 by the prince and archbishop of Basel. It wasn’t until the second half of the nineteenth century, after the construction of a railway, that Biel/Bienne started to grow. The city took the initiative and built large factories bringing industry to the area. These factory spaces became the roots of the watch world. Along with watches, the area also began to develop and manufacture other precision instruments. The reason behind this concentrated kind of crafting quite simply goes back to the weather. Farmers who found themselves snowed in, kept busy with woodcarving and the manufacturing of wooden cuckoo clocks. This is why and how some of the greatest clockwork craftsmen hail from the region. As the nineteenth century economy grew, these craftsmen were attracted to life in the city. The advantages of Biel/Bienne in particular, were its vast resources for metal along with the new trade route. And here is how the watch industry began. The modern part of the city is bustling and stretches all the way to the lake, while the old city center with the gothic church is scenically situated against the hill. It was here, in this inspiring environment, that in 1914 Glycine set up shop. For decades now, Glycine has been producing extraordinary watch collections from their factory in Biel/Bienne and have constantly and seamlessly transitioned throughout the years, standing all the tests of time.

CY OF CE ENCOUNTER THE TRADITION WITHIN A THOROUGHLY MODERN MOMENT
S. COIFMAN THE HOUSE OF COIFMAN THE HOUSE OF COIFMAN In a small music box workshop in 1906, Simon Coifman perfected his first watch movement in the town of Chiasso, Switzerland. The creation was endowed with gold plating and rubies for its 17-jewel movement. In 1907, he began crafting timepieces for metal workers, stonemasons, copper smiths and other artisans in the town. His timepieces soon gained recognition for superior capability and detail in design. Because of this focus and mutual admiration, it wasn’t long before the S. Coifman timepieces were known as the “craftsman watch.” Today, the S. Coifman brand retains this reputation of excellence and refinement. All the pieces are exclusively hand built by an S. Coifman watchmaker. Continuing to capture the original aesthetics in design and craftsmanship, the exquisiteness of an S. Coifman timepiece inherently distinguishes the casual collector from the committed connoisseur. The legacy continues. SEC. 61 ISSUE NR 1 YEAR 2017
S. COIFMAN LIFE BEHIND THE LEGACY LIFE BEHIND THE LEGACY How do you bring a time-honored, classic Swiss watch brand into the present while still reflecting tradition and its rich history? On the foundations of a former 1616 castle, in 1746 the Mayor of Rotterdam along with the Lord of Ridderkerk commissioned the construction of what would become the country manor, Huys ten Donck. Located between the villages of Bolne and Slikkerveer, surrounded by the Donckse Forest and situated on twenty-four acres of what is now park land but with the house still privately inhabited, the home has remained in the same family for threehundred years. It was here, in a setting rich with history and tradition that the S. Coifman "Legacy of Grace" campaign was photographed. Evocative of an era gone by, Huys ten Donck, is frequently used as a location site for film, television and advertising. Swept up in the noble grandeur of the estate, the creative team made expert use of the sumptuous surroundings. Joining the captivating models and adding an extra air of atmosphere to the photo shoot, the handsome resident Dobermanns even took part in the process. Ever mindful of capturing a perfectly appointed aesthetic, the team successfully articulated a modern campaign worthy of an S. Coifman timepiece. Elegance and tradition flow through the of Legacy of Grace. Aristocratic in attitude yet modern in execution, S. Coifman allows for the legacy to live in the moment.

HONG KONG ASIAN MARKET IS SERVED HONG KONG ASIAN MARKET IS SERVED Officially known as “Hong Kong the Special Administrative Region of People’s Republic of China,” it is the second largest island in an area consisting of more than 236 islands, covering a surface of 427 square miles. Home to approximately 7 million people, Hong Kong itself is 48 square miles. The name “Hong Kong” derives from the Cantonese dialect, meaning ‘fragrant harbor.’ The first contact between the Chinese and British dates back to the year 1699 when trade was established. In 1821, Hong Kong became the harbor where the British and Bengali imported opium. At that time, only 7,000 people lived on the island, now Hong Kong is an energized, bustling epicenter of Asia. Hong Kong is known to be the place where ‘East meets West.’ The Chinese heritage combined with the remnant influences from its time as a British colony, Hong Kong offers a particular energy, a dynamic vibe all its own. Traditional Chinese practices have taken their place in the modern era. Phenomena such as Feng Shui are still taken very seriously, even implemented within the business environment. For example, a trained Feng Shui practitioner is often brought in to ‘Shui’ any given work space for the positive development of capital-intensive real-estate projects. The fusion of East and West is also to be found in the food culture of Hong Kong. Dimsum, hot pot and fast food restaurants all go hand in hand with haute cuisine.

BE AN AIRM
N MAN GLYCINE, WHERE EXPERT STANDARDS CONVERGE WITH THE MOST EXACTING AESTHETIC DEMANDS.
GLYCINE BE AN AIRMAN BE AN AIRMAN When Glycine’s Swiss-made timepiece, the Airman debuted in 1953, it made history and set a new standard. The model was the first of its kind as it split time- showing both local and world time at a glance. The Airman literally changed the face of time for long-distance travelers, pilots and the jet-set. From that point, working from a new precedent, Glycine’s innovation has continued and evolved. In 2014, honoring the brand’s 100th birthday, Glycine debuted the 46mm Airman Airfighter that featured three time zones. The brand continues to deliver the heights of glory into timing reality.

GLYCINE PREPARING FOR TAKEOFF PREPARING FOR TAKEOFF No, this is not a dream or ‘virtual reality.’ Located in the South of the Nether lands and reflective of Glycine’s captivating spirit and intrigue, GilzeRijen Airforce Base was a natural choice. And it was here that Glycine’s new campaign, ‘Be an Airman’ began to take actual form. Founded as a military airbase, this active airport has been in operation for more than 100 years.
Gilze-Rijen is west of Hedel, just a quick fly-by away from the European headquarters of Invicta Watch. Even if aircrafts aren’t specifically a point of personal interest, the site for Glycine’s campaign provides its own compelling narrative, worthy of the exceptional timepieces that comprise the collection. The doors open and a magnificent vintage, Spitfire B52-bomber emerges. The photographer carefully directs the plane into the proper position so that his camera can capture the bomber in all its glory. Mirroring the precision and skill found in Glycine’s Swiss craftsmanship, every aspect of the Spitfire exudes authentic accomplishment in aeronautical engineering and deft power. Now that the plane is in position and in-frame, attentions turn towards the models. While one is in hair and makeup, the other appears on-set. The stylist gets to work, checking, double-checking, ensuring that each aspect of the model’s wardrobe is accurate, further enhancing the overall essence of the campaign. Amid an intriguing combination of light, shadow, fog, costume and the Spitfire, the Glycine timepiece is illuminated and the ‘Be an Airman’ campaign takes flight. Test the atmosphere, engage the tradition, take the journey. SEC. 77 ISSUE NR 1 YEAR 2017

GLYCINE 100 YEARS AND STILL COUNTING GLYCINE 100 YEARS AND STILL COUNTING Since its founding in 1914 by the ingenious Eugène Meylan, the professional production in Biel/Bienne enabled Glycine to offer the finest miniature movements, clad in precious gold and platinum cases, often studded with diamonds on the market. Glycine became a supplier to the jet-set, particularly in England and America, that valued such works of fine Swiss craftsmanship. A pioneer of watchmaking for pilots and frequent travelers, Glycine has become synonymous with aviation. Initiated by British commander and pilot Chat Brown in 1953, Glycine designed the first “Airman” watch and began production the same year. The Airman became very successful garnering legendary status for introducing multiple time-zone watches. Since then, Glycine has developed several generations of aviation watches. With each release, the brand has continued to innovate, enhancing upon the one that came before. The releases have ranged from more complex world timers to special editions geared for the collector. More than 100 years after the creation of his first Glycine watch, Meylan's spirit lives on. With its acquisition by Invicta Watch Group in 2016, Glycine is now, more than ever, positioned to expand, creating distinctive timepieces predicated upon the unique vision developed by Meylan. Glycine looks forward to future endeavors with Invicta. This prestigious brand will feel right at home with its new owner as timeless traditions will forever be honored, guarded and guaranteed in the years to come. Tradition and quality will keep Glycine up and running. Never absent from the Glycine journey, the Airman was and is the hallmark of the brand. Offering excellent value at a reasonable price, the model is the embodiment of the Glycine philosophy. The company’s strong foundation, coupled with its emphasis on rugged and reliable products, still make Glycine a highly respected name in Swiss watchmaking today.

Invicta launched 36 timepieces to the edge of space and documented every step of the remarkable journey via video. The watches were secured on specially designed, structured payloads made of lightweight carbon fiber. The entire mission was filmed using highly specialized cameras and equipment that was able to withstand the unique nature of the project given weather, speed of travel and the atmospheric nature of the process. Working closely with Benjamin Longmier, we were able to determine exactly what these watches were exposed to during their deployment to reach these exceptional heights and their journey returning to earth. This collaboration was the 1st of its kind. No other watch company has put their timepieces to the test in such a significant and exciting way. New frontiers of accomplishment and ability, fortitude arrived. An expedition that only Invicta time could successfully handle, and did.

INVICTA CALENDAR SHOOT MEET THE MODELS A journey through new vistas, illuminates the spirit of Invicta time for 2017. SEC. 91 ISSUE NR 1 YEAR 2017
MEET THE MODELS THE MAKING OF A YEAR THE MAKING OF A YEAR In recent years, Invicta Watch has established the tradition of publishing the highly anticipated, Invicta Calendar. Each year, the calendar photoshoot is always worthy of a party. In previous years, the lovely vistas of the Caribbean have served the calendar well. But for 2017, the starting point for the concept was a most unexpected and enchanting location. This unexpected dreamworld was the starting point for the 2017 Invicta Calendar. Only a few kilometers from the Invicta Watch Europe headquarters lays an impressive scope of land called, “Maasvlakte.” Although serving as one of the world’s largest harbors, the waters, land and beaches here are still very much pristine and fairly unpopulated. Until the 1960’s this area was largely under water. However, the Dutch have a long tradition for reclaiming land or sandbanks via sand suppletion. This process is executed maintaining environmental integrity while helping to stabilize and secure the area, making it safe. This unusual yet compelling setting served as the ideal location for the photoshoot. Six deep with few creature comforts but armed with a lot of equipment, the entire crew landed at the waters of Maasvlakte in the very early morning hours. And it was here, over five beautiful days in September that Invicta time was vividly brought to life. In the glow of the sunlight and expanse of the sea and beaches, the timepieces struck their poses with the help of truly beguiling models. Offering such a unique vibe and aesthetic, Maasvlakte truly reflected and showcased the essence of Invicta time, all the while inspiring the creative team each camera click of the way.

INVICTA ARTIST THE ART OF TIMELESS VISION THE ART OF TIMELESS VISION Introduced in 2011, the Invicta Artist Series transformed the Invicta watch into a true work of visual art. Utilizing a carefully selected Invicta model, the dial of the timepiece becomes an artist's canvas. In serving as a working canvas, the extraordinary vision of two perspectives converge, achieving creative and technical glory. Famed graffiti artist, Erni Vales, has lent his mad skills and compelling vision to the Artist Series since 2011. Along with his illustrious career as a solo artist, the Miami-based Vales has collaborated on the portraits of Elton John, Lady Gaga and Madonna (to name a few) with the infamous, surrealist photographer, David LaChapelle. “Lace Twin,” “Leather Twin,” and “Panda Suit” were the first of his works to launch in this Limited Edition Series. All three models sold-out in record time and Vales has continued to lend his vibrant point of view with his America and Misfits series. In 2017, Vales will extend that viewpoint to the Disney themed Invicta collection: Disney – LIMITED EDITION. Utilizing his distinctly electric imagery, Vales is set to capture Mickey Mouse, creating an emboldened representation of this iconic character. Implemented on the dials of Russian Divers, the timepieces offer a captivating context, enhancing the experience with both the Invicta timepiece as well as the art. The series further expresses the diversity for which the brand has become known while also delivering dynamic wearable works of art for customers.

DISNEY ILLUSTRATING THE ART OF TIME ILLUSTRATING THE ART OF TIME In 2016 the Invicta Watch Group began its collaboration with the Walt Disney Company in the creation of a Disney themed Invicta watch collection: Disney – LIMITED EDITION. Launched in Spring of 2016, all models for the collection are exclusive, limited edition pieces for both men and women. Along with the superior engineering and design of the Invicta timepiece, each model features various renderings of Mickey Mouse and other favorite characters on the dial. When the collection launched, Invicta CEO Eyal Lalo had this to share, “The entire Invicta team takes it as such a compliment that Disney wanted to collaborate with Invicta for the creation of these very special timepieces. It is with great enthusiasm that we proceed knowing that we will be a part of the Disney heritage and able to pass that heritage on to Invicta collectors through our timepieces.” Since the 2016 launch, the collection has continued to grow, consistently introducing new models featuring an array of design attributes and options all of which highlight the vibrancy of these beloved and iconic characters. The Subaqua models for Disney – LIMITED EDITION feature Swiss movements, with meticulous renderings of Mickey on a skeleton dial as well as on the case back. The watch models featured in the Disney – LIMITED EDITION are chosen from Invicta collection favorites such as; “Lupah,” “Pro Diver” and the mighty “Subaqua.” In commemoration of the release of the Walt Disney Company’s film, Alice Through the Looking Glass, an exclusive Subaqua timepiece was crafted specifically for the Disney – LIMITED EDITION collection. As with Alice Through the Looking Glass, special edition models for Beauty and the Beast and Pirates of the Caribbean will release later in 2017. With precision and utmost care, each watch is in-itself a work of art. Automatically a collector’s timepiece, the models are not only constructed with the highest quality standards available, they provide the perfect frame for these beloved characters. Disney – LIMITED EDITION celebrates timeless iconography articulated through the exceptional standards and cutting-edge technology of Invicta Watch.
