About this entry

93% of key specs known. Missing: hardening.

Sold as the "Automatic Turtle Dive Watch with Blue Dial" (ISL-301); no other model name. The brand says it uses the same Seiko Turtle-style case as its early ISL-11/12/13 and takes aftermarket Turtle parts; the dial is sterile apart from artwork of a sea turtle, and the hour numerals sit on the bezel. Seiko NH36 with the day and date mechanics removed: the crown still has the date-set position, but there is no ghost clicking. 45 x 15mm (not stated whether the 15mm includes the double-domed crystal), 47mm lug to lug, 22mm drilled lugs, offset screw-down crown at 4, brushed and polished surfaces, 200m, embossed solid screw-in caseback; case "Stainless steel" (grade not stated). Unidirectional lumed ceramic bezel with a 12-hour scale, which the brand says doubles as a dual time bezel (click count not stated). Double-domed sapphire with AR on the underside. Blue hands with BGW9 Super-LumiNova; the dial has no hour markers. Weight 150g from the spec table (not stated what was weighed). Two-piece blue FKM rubber strap with steel keepers and buckle (quick-release not stated); no bracelet offered. Not tagged "Discontinued"; sold out on 2026-10-21 at $195. No independent review found.
