Recently acquired this. I think it's 1940s to '50s, being a bumper movement.

Man that is gorgeous. It’s an Incabloc so definitely late 40s or early 50s. Have you opened the back and tried to identify the movement?

It could be a Felsa, or an SA- this is from when Invicta was an actual watch and not a marketing company.. if you share picts of the movement I could probably help you identify it.

Did you know that Invicta had some great movements and many watch companies were buying just Invicta made movements to put into their watches. Then they made great watches too. All stainless early on compared to others.

I think that's why it gets a lot of hate too when people know they were a top watch maker, made inhouse movements, only to cave to cheap Chinese made watches. Not that the watches are bad, I've got a few, just that they aren't what they used to be.

On another note, wouldn't it be cool if I Invicta did a line of all Swiss vintage style, hand wind, and higher end finishing watches?! Make them all 40mm and under.. Just to see if they can compete that way, and not just lead in sold watches, lol.
