The Invicta Pro Diver 5023 is still available but not for long. It's old stock. Get one while you can. At the $170 price point, it looks like a $2,000 Enzo diver.
White numerals give sharp contrast with the dark dial for easy reading. The double-deployment clasp is very comfortable.
One of the watch's strong points is the bracelet, with a look associated with far more expensive watches.
I have one big peeve about this watch and my Invicta Force series: The crown doesn't screw tightly after setting the time. I don't know if I'm reading the manual wrong or if it doesn't screw tightly because of its design. If that's true, it shouldn't be called a diver or especially a pro diver.
Obviously this isn't a deal killer for me. I'm not wearing it in the water. For swimming, I'll stick to my trusty Seiko Black Monster shown in 2 of these photos.
Please show a wrist shot of this one. I may be in the market, as I'm forever looking for something in stainless I can wear w/brown.
Also buy a marathon JSAR and let me know what you think.

Tim, I highly recommend this Invicta. It's 51 mm and very classic. I'm colorblind but the dial is described as brown. I'll do a wrist shot when I get back from my vacation.
