About this entry

84% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening, clasp micro-adjust.

Sold as the "38mm Automatic Dive Watch with Radiant Green Dial" (ISL-21) and "... with Radiant Blue Dial" (ISL-63); no other model name. This is the NH36 build with an offset crown at 4, which the brand says takes Seiko SKX013 aftermarket parts. Islander's other 38mm divers are separate models: the "38mm Automatic Dive Watch with Waffle Dial" (ISL-125/126, NH35, crown at 3), the NH38 ISL-127 and the 38mm Automatic Dual Time (ISL-150 to 152, 12-hour bezel). Seiko NH36 with day and date at 3. 38 x 13mm (not stated whether the 13mm includes the crystal), 44.5mm lug to lug, 20mm drilled lugs, screw-down crown, 200m, solid screw-in caseback engraved with a map of Long Island. 120-click unidirectional bezel: coin edge with a lumed green sapphire insert on ISL-21, marine-style edge with an embossed ceramic insert (light grey in the photos) on ISL-63. Crystal: sapphire with AR on the underside (stated for ISL-21; ISL-63 just says anti-reflective). Crystal shape conflicts: ISL-63's description and spec table and ISL-21's description say double dome, but ISL-21's spec table says "flat sapphire", so the shape is left blank. Hands and hour markers with Super-LumiNova (grade not stated); luminous logo under 12 on ISL-63. Weight not stated. Bracelet: all solid links on both; solid end links, screws and a "milled scissor push-button deployant clasp with three position micro-adjustment" are stated for ISL-21 only (ISL-63 says "all solid-link bracelet with a deployant clasp"; tool or tool-less micro-adjust not stated); 3-link oyster style from the photos. Neither is tagged "Discontinued"; both were sold out on 2026-10-21. ISL-63's photo files are named "isl-163" but show this watch (blue dial, day-date, crown at 4), not the DPA ISL-163. No independent review found.
