Your watch is battery powered or a 'quartz' watch. It is commonly refered to as a 'chronograph'. That is another word for stop watch.As well as telling time and the date, your watch can time how long an event lasts. For example, a horse race. You start the chronograph or stop watch when the horse starts and stop it when it crosses the finish line. When the next horse starts you need set it back to zero to time the next race.Operation is simple. The upper push button starts and stops the chronograph. Try it. Now with the chronograph stopped, push the bottom button. The hand return to the 12 o'clock position or the 'zero' position. Also notice the small dials on the dial or face of the watch. They record minutes and other increments of time. The large hand going around when you push the upper button is recording seconds. Hope this helps, Michael

Yes that's common, most chronograph watch's a small subdial is the times second hand. The large second hand is only for the timing function of the chronograph.

You're probably pulling it out to hard. Solution: pull the stem out completely and carefully try to push it back in for one click only, then attempt to set the date. If this doesn't work, return the watch as it is defective.

If you have any problems with a new watch you should go first to the supplier and if they can't help, contact the maker.

Most makers have a service depot who can help you.

You can find your nearest service depot by going to the Invicta web site (http://www.invictawatch.com/) and clicking on "service " in the menu bar at the top and there is a link to instruction manuals.


The battery should be OK unless the watch has been part of a window display for a considerable time. (Most of the batteries I have used lasted 1-3 years).

The Invicta Atomic 4048 is "discontinued", and Invicta is not very helpful. They do NOT offer an instruction manual for the 4048, because it's discontinued. You can call Invicta at 800-327-7682 then you have to ask for "Melvin" who only works until 1PM eastern time. OR you can do the following:
Hold down the 8 0'clock button until it flashes, select 12hour or 24hour preference, use the button at 4 o'clock to select your time zone (GMT) The watch should reset itself to your GMT time.

how do you remove links on a Invicta 1565?

Go to http://www.invictawatch.com/ and click on "collections" and then on "instruction manual".

Download the Invicta instruction manual.

For Invicta chronographs to set the day you need to pull the crown out to position 3 (2nd click after releasing the crown/ furthest crown position/ same position to adjust time). You can only set the day by rotating the crown clockwise. Every 24 hours of clockwise rotation will move the day indicator forward 1 position (Mon>Tue, Tue>Wed, etc). If your watch is set one day ahead of the correct day (Its Tuesday but the watch displays Wednesday for example) you will need to rotate the crown clockwise through the entire remainder of the week in order to get to the correct day, you CANNOT rotate the crown counter-clockwise in order to move the indicator back a day.

To set the time pull the crown out to the first position and set the time by turning the crown. Pull the crown out to the second position to set the date. Since this is a diver model you will need to unscrew the crown before it will pull out. Make sure you replace the crown and screw it back down for a good protective seal.

The alarm sets the same way. Unscrew the button to set.
