The Invisibility Watch, also known as the Invis Watch, is the default PDA2 weapon for the Spy. It is a piece of advanced technology embodied in a digital watch.
Using the alternate fire button with any other weapon equipped will allow the player to Cloak, blending in perfectly with his surroundings and effectively becoming invisible, allowing them to infiltrate enemy territory and stalk targets without being seen. The Spy cannot attack whilst cloaked, but will still be able to use his Disguise Kit. Decloaking requires the Spy to wait approximately 2 seconds for the process to be complete.
The Cloak generated by the Watch has a limited duration, indicated by a bar on the HUD as well as a glowing bar meter on the watch face itself. The Cloak meter will automatically recharge when not in use. Resupply areas, Dispensers, and ammo can also replenish the Cloak meter, even when cloaked. A large ammo box will fully recharge the Cloak, medium boxes will restore 50% and small boxes will restore 25%. Additionally, scoring a hit with the L'Etranger will replenish 15% Cloak.

Trivia
- The watch is a "tip of the hat" to the many contraptions used in Spy movies, where the main characters use the most sophisticated means of espionage usually disguised into commonly used items.
