Posted on Mar 01, 2011

The invicta 4048 is an atomic watch with 4 buttons only. I need to know how to set this watch. Previous experts have refered me to the standard Invicta instructions PDF. The atomic watch is not covered by the standard manual. Plaase help.

    You only need to hold down the button at 7 until you see "-0" push the button at 4 until you get your GMT time zone. I'm in California so my GMT is -8 (or -7 for daylight savings time)

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.

You may or may not have arrows inside bracelet.Arrows are pointing the way the pins must come out.
First you have to find out what sort of pins or even screws are used to keep links together.
Examine both bracelet sides and find the side where pin ends have a groove.
Start with a tiny screwdriver and unscrew one of the screws. If it turns, but doesn't come out, that means you have a pins instead.
For removing pins the best would be pin removing tool (approx.5GBP on ebay), but it's possible to do the job without it.
Take a hardened steel needle and blunt the sharp end to the approx. size of pin end diameter using any sharpening stone or sandpaper. Get an old towel and fold it to make a soft base for work (like small cusion). As you don't have a special bracelet holder you will need a pair of helping hands to hold the bracelet steady upright. You will need small hammer and pair of flat nose pliers as well.
NOTE: The pins MUST be driven split end out first, not vice versa. Make sure that the grooved pin ends are facing towel, not the needle and hammer!!!
Now place the watch on the folded towel, take that needle and smallest hammer you have and start driving the pin out using light blows. Do Not hit hard, as you will brake the needle, scratch your watch or even injure yourself. Watchmakers are using 45 gram hammer, so, calculate your strength of blows.
After a few blows check if the split end is coming out and when you see that the end is long enough to grab it with pliers, pull the pin out with pliers. When pulling, do NOT turn pliers, as pins tend to brake when twisted. Use firm grip and your strength to pull the pin without twisting.
After shortening the bracelet or adding extra link(s) make sure that the pins go back EXACTLY the same way as they came out- the blunt end first in the hole and the split (grooved) end last. Before doing that check remaining pins in bracelet to make sure that you put them back from the right side of bracelet.
It is recommended to use plastic hammer to drive pins back in or you will scratch or damage bracelet. If plastic hammer is not available use an old toothbrush handle (or some plastic item) as an absorber. Simply put pin into the hole as deep as you can with your fingers, put the toothbrush handle on split pin end and hit handle, not the pin.
Make sure that pin ends are flush with bracelet. If needed- hit few more times.
Job done!
If you do not want to do it yourself, any jeweler will do it in a matter of few minutes.
Don't forget to rate, please.

Go to the "invicta.com" web site.

Put your cursor over "collections" and select "Instruction manual".

There appears to be only one manual covering all their watches.

I have brought a Invicta 0259 trinite watch. Please guide us on how to set the time, date and the day/night settings for this watch, as the manual doesn't help much. thanks!

Not knowing the movement and how many functions it has your best bet would be to contact Invicta or a man named JIM SKELTON. Jim works for SHOP NBC Jim's a great guy he'll answer any and all questions you might have when it comes to Invicta Watches. Also the Invicta home page is your next bet. The Guy who runs Invicta is named "A"-"L" Well something like this forgot how to spell it.

Two great guys though! I have 5 Invicta myself.
I know you'll get what you need from them,

Lost manual to set atomic 4045 watch

Unfortunately no. You will need to try contacting Invicta direct. Sometimes you can go to Invicta retailers and they will have some left over or they will have instructions for similar models.
