Invicta - Zeus Bolt Reserve Chronograph

Invicta Watches has announced the presentation of three novelties for the upcoming Baselworld 2012 event. They involve Zeus Bolt Chronograph, the timepiece with a chunky case and bracelet that are exceptionally complex to produce, the first models from the Artist Series of Russian Divers, as well as the programmable Spin-R watch winders.




































 The first one of them is Reserve Zeus Bolt Chronograph timepiece that is fitted in an incredible intricate thick case (with the massive diameter of 51 mm) which was constructed with amazing attention to detail. It took about 18 months for the American brand just to develop the housing of the watch, dominated with twisted cable details which go through its bezel and also grace the three top rows of the bracelet. This case is constructed from 316L surgical grade stainless steel whose treatment requires very complicated and precise process in order to be finished. During the construction, steel gets stamped for at least seven times. Besides, it requires a two step procedure of heating and cooling which takes at least 30 days to complete. With all the steps for production taken in consideration, the final product is being crafted somewhere in the range of six to nine months, which demonstrates all the exclusiveness of the final product.
