Invicta Men's 5757 Lupah Collection Automatic Titanium and Stainless Steel Watch

The limited edition Invicta Men's Lupah Collection Automatic Watch combines innovative styling and a modern look in a distinctive design. The elongated titanium case frames a stainless steel bezel and night-sky dial with a deep blue background and silver accents. Luminous, round indexes mark the hours, and the funky silver pattern of the dial includes day, date, and power reserve subdials. Arrow-shaped, silver-tone hands and a red sweep second hand track the time, powered by precision Japanese-automatic movement. A textured crown offsets the subtle side extensions on the case, and the titanium bracelet with stainless steel inserts unifies the design of this original timepiece. This timepiece is water resistant to 330 feet (100 meters).

It's distinctive look and smarts will keep Lupah in tune with any mood of any moment in any time.

Automatic Watches

Automatic watches do not operate on batteries. Automatic watches are made up of about 130 or more parts that work together to tell time. Automatic movements mark the passage of time by a series of gear mechanisms, and are wound by the movement of your wrist as you wear it. The gear train then transmits the power to the escapement, which distributes the impulses, turning the balance wheel. The balance wheel is the time regulating organ of a mechanical watch, which vibrates on a spiral hairspring. Lengthening or shortening the balance spring makes the balance wheel go faster or slower to advance or retard the watch. The travel of the balance wheel from one extreme to the other and back again is called oscillation. Lastly, automatic movements come in different types, including movements that are Swiss-made, Japanese-made, and more.

Also referred to as self-winding, watches with automatic movements utilize kinetic energy, the swinging of your arm, to provide energy to an oscillating rotor to keep the watch ticking. They're considered more satisfying to watch collectors (horologists) because of the engineering artistry that goes into the hundreds of parts that make up the movement. If you do not wear an automatic watch consistently (for about 8 to 12 hours a day), you can keep the watch powered with a watch winder (a great gift for collectors).
