About this entry

79% of key specs known. Missing: hardening, bracelet links, end links, clasp micro-adjust.

Sold as the "Black Dial Automatic Dive Watch with AR Double Dome Sapphire Crystal" (no model name; ISL-57). The brand says it "has the familiar look of an iconic dive watch which has been discontinued"; the case, bezel and dial follow the Seiko Monster. Movement: the description ("21 jewel Miyota 8205") and the spec table both name the Miyota 8205 with day and date at 3; the Serious Watches listing says NH36 with 40h, which conflicts with the brand and is not used. Sibling colourways sold under the same title (ISL-56, 58, 59, 60, 94, 95, 96) are described with the NH36, so they are not part of this file. 42 x 13mm, 47mm lug to lug, drilled lugs, screw-in crown and caseback, 200m, slightly concave 120-click unidirectional bezel with a lumed pip (steel bezel in the photos; insert material not stated). Double-dome sapphire with AR "inside only". Dial lume is "SuperLuminova" (grade not stated). Weight 195g from the spec table (not stated what was weighed). Bracelet: all solid links sized with screws, 20mm at the lugs and 20mm at the clasp, milled deployant clasp with dual push-button release (micro-adjust not stated). Case "stainless steel", grade not stated. In stock on 2026-10-21.
