Invicta Speedway Chronograph: Complete Model Guide (2026)

If the Pro Diver is Invicta's workhorse dive watch, the Speedway is its statement chronograph. Racing-inspired. Bold. Precise. The kind of watch that tells the room you care about timepieces, not just time.

At Tulsa Timepiece Company, the Speedway is our #2 best-selling Invicta model after the Pro Diver. Here's everything we've learned hand-inspecting hundreds of them.

What Is the Speedway?

The Speedway collection launched in the late 1990s as Invicta's answer to the legendary Omega Speedmaster — at roughly 1/100th the price. It's a chronograph (stopwatch-capable), usually with three sub-dials, a tachymeter bezel, and case sizes in the 40-48mm range.

Unlike the Pro Diver which leans utilitarian, the Speedway leans aggressive — bigger lugs, more muscular case shapes, and dial designs that scream "look at me" without crossing into costume-watch territory.

Core Specs

  • Case material: 316L stainless steel (standard across collection)
  • Case size: 40–48mm depending on model
  • Crystal: Flame Fusion (scratch and shock resistant)
  • Movement: Precision Japanese quartz chronograph
  • Water resistance: 100–200m depending on model
  • Sub-dials: Usually 3 (1/10 second, 60-minute, running seconds)
  • Tachymeter: Yes — typically on the bezel

The Chronograph Function

Every Speedway is a chronograph, meaning it can time intervals using the three sub-dials. To use it:

  1. Top right pusher: Start/stop the timer
  2. Bottom right pusher: Reset to zero
  3. Middle sub-dial: Counts minutes (up to 60)
  4. Left sub-dial: Counts 1/10 seconds
  5. Right sub-dial: Continuously-running seconds (confirms the movement is alive)

Combined with the tachymeter bezel, you can calculate speed over a measured distance: time one mile, read the tachymeter = your speed in MPH.

Top Speedway Models

Invicta Speedway Chronograph (Classic, ~$79.99)

The entry-level Speedway. Steel bracelet, dark dial, three sub-dials, tachymeter bezel. Looks like a $500 watch.

Who Should Buy the Speedway?

The Speedway is ideal for:

  • First-time chronograph buyers learning the genre
  • Gift recipients who like bolder watch designs
  • Anyone interested in motorsports aesthetic
  • Collectors adding a chronograph slot to their rotation

Sizing Considerations

Speedways run larger than Pro Divers. The 48mm case is substantial — fine on a 7+ inch wrist, overwhelming on a 6.5 inch wrist.

Measure your wrist before buying:

  • Wrist 6–6.5": Stick with 40mm Speedway models
  • Wrist 6.5–7": 43–45mm works great
  • Wrist 7+": Full 47–48mm is comfortable
