About this entry
87% of key specs known. Missing: hardening, bracelet offered.
Sold simply as the "Islander Automatic Watch" (ISL-133 and ISL-134); the movement is added to the name to tell it apart from Islander's other "Automatic Watch" listings. Seiko NH38, "a true no-date movement", hand winding and hacking, about 40 hours per the brand. "Stainless steel" case (grade not stated), 40 x 12.5mm, 47.5mm lug to lug, 20mm lugs, 100m, screw-down crown with Islander logo, sapphire exhibition caseback. The caseback has wrench notches in the photos, so it is recorded as screw-down; the smooth fixed bezel is also from the photos. Flat sapphire crystal described as anti-reflective (AR side not stated). Weight 84g from the spec table (not stated what was weighed). ISL-133: black mother-of-pearl dial ("the first Islander watch featuring a mother of pearl dial"), rectangular applied indices, sword hands and the dial logo lumed with C3, non-lumed seconds hand, black leather strap. ISL-134: sunburst blue dial (the same blue as Islander's ISL-18 diver per the brand), pointed applied indices lumed with BGW9, lumed hands, red-tipped seconds hand, blue suede strap with red stitching. Both straps have a signed buckle; the brand's BRAC-11 bracelet was sold separately. The ISL-134 copy calls it "the same super comfortable 40mm case we offer" without naming another model. The published 40mm, 47.5mm lug-to-lug Islander models (Automatic Pilot Style Watch, DPA Automatic) use an NH35 or NH36 and a 13mm, domed-crystal build, so this is recorded as its own model. Both references are tagged "Discontinued" and were sold out on 2026-10-23; $199 is the last listed price. Release date not stated. No independent review found.
