The official NFL Football Season kicked off this weekend with the Super Bowl rivals the Carolina Panthers facing off against the Denver Broncos at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium in Denver, CO last night.
Although the journey to this year’s Super Bowl at NRG Stadium in Houston, TX on February 5, 2017 is months away and the names of the two top winning teams is anyone’s guess, there is currently much speculation of who will be kicking off in Houston for the big game.
One thing is for certain: there will be many game-changers taking place during the season, that will bring the two top teams together in February. In conjunction with the kick-off of the 2016 Football Season, we at WorldofWatches.com are saluting Game-Changing Watch Brands that have played a part in revolutionizing the watch industry and the way we currently wear watches today.
Invicta is the game changing brand that has made bold, oversized wristwatches popular for men, since the introduction of it Lupah Watch Series in the early 2000’s, featuring robust cases measuring 47mm wide and 19mm thick.

The case is presented on an attractive hard-wearing black polyurethane strap with a matching black ion-plated stainless steel buckle.
