About this entry

87% of key specs known. Missing: hardening, bracelet offered.

Sold as the "Automatic Watch with Leather Strap and an AR Dome Sapphire Crystal"; the ISL-53 and ISL-54 product URLs call it the "Automatic Pilot Style Watch". 40mm case with oversized WWII-pilot-style hour markers, an orange seconds hand with integrated lume dot, and no date window ("designed without a date window") on a Seiko NH35, hence complications is empty. The version with a date at 3 (ISL-53) is a separate model. The brand says it "brings back the style of popular watch that is no longer available" without naming it. Hands and dial markings lumed with Super-LumiNova C3; on ISL-84 the seconds-hand dot is BGW9. Domed AR sapphire (AR side not stated). "Stainless steel" case (grade not stated), exhibition caseback (attachment not stated), signed screw-down crown, 100m. Weight 84g from the spec table, not stated what was weighed. Black leather strap with a signed buckle; quick-release not stated; the brand offers an optional bracelet (BRAC-11 per the ISL-84 page) sold separately. ISL-54 was in stock at $279 on 2026-10-21; ISL-84 is tagged "Discontinued" and its $229 price is the last listed one.
