About this entry

87% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening.

Seiko NH35 build of Islander's 42mm "Aviator Automatic" flieger, the only version of this case that shows a date (window at 3). The same case is also sold with NH36, NH38 and Miyota 82S0 movements, and with a hidden-date NH35 (ISL-87), each in its own file. 42 x 12mm, 48mm lug to lug, 22mm lugs, screw-down crown, 100m, screw-in caseback etched with an F-14 silhouette. Black Type-A dial with C3 Super-LumiNova on hands and markers and a blue seconds hand. The brand says anti-reflective sapphire without the side or shape; the spec table gives no weight. Sold on a black leather strap. Tagged "Discontinued" in the store's product data and sold out on 2026-10-21; the product page and $199 price were still online.
