While that might seem morbid to some, I view it as a stern reminder than our time is…
Currently on sale for $49 for Amazon Prime members (the normal price is $295), the Invicta Men’s Watch is a great Swiss timepiece at a price that (quite frankly) seems insane.

These handsome fellows are available in various thicknesses from 18mm to 22mm, and in all different colors. (Thanks, Ken.)
