Today we are releasing two new everyday Islanders. We've listened to you, and included a no-date version here. Both watches are 40mm case size, and feature the goodies you want - handwinding, hacking automatic movement, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and screw-down crown with 100M water resistance.
Islander Automatic Watch with Leather Strap and an AR Dome Sapphire Crystal #ISL-53
The new Islander ISL-53 brings back the style of popular watch that is no longer available. The cosmetic differences are subtle but noticeable.The case is a very wearable 40mm in diameter and it is 13mm thick. Lug to lug (or tip to tip) measurement is 47.5mm. The crown is a signed screw-down type that enables a better water resistance rating of 100-meters.
Inside the case is an NH35, 24-jewel automatic movement with 21,600 vibrations per hour. This self-winding movement supports hand winding and hacks (seconds hand stops when you pull out the crown). Power reserve is about 41 hours fully wound. The ISL-53 has date displayed viewed at 3:00 on the dial.
The black dial has distinctive oversize hour makers like many WWII pilot watches. It is very easy to view the time at a glance. The hour hand, minute hand, and dial markings are all treated with C3 SuperLuminova. The seconds hand is painted orange for higher visibility and the lume dot has been made part of the pointer. You will note that the dial has excellent visibility due to the use of an anti-reflective dome sapphire crystal that also guards against scratches.
This model comes with a black leather strap with matching stitching and a signed stainless steel buckle. You can change up the look with a military-style nylon strap and any of our leather straps. The lug width is 20mm. 120mm x 75mm strap size.
