About this entry

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

Sold as the "Abalone Dial Automatic Dive Watch with DLC Bezel" (ISL-141); no other model name. Its spec table matches Islander's double-dome divers (42 x 13mm, 47mm lug to lug, 20mm lugs, 200m, "Anti-Reflective Double-Dome Sapphire", all-solid-link bracelet with milled deployant clasp, 198g), but with a Seiko NH35 and the date at 6 instead of the NH36 or Miyota 8205 of the "Double Dome Automatic Dive Watch" files, so it is recorded as the NH35 build of that case; the Monster-style case and bezel are from the photos. The Coral Mother of Pearl ISL-142 and Robin's Egg Blue ISL-143 (steel bezel with lumed pip) are described with the same NH35, date at 6, case, crystal and bracelet, and the ISL-144 has the same specs with a DLC case. Each abalone dial is a slice of shell and differs slightly. Screw-down crown, embossed solid screw-in caseback; case "Stainless Steel" (grade not stated). ISL-141's bezel is DLC-coated, which the brand says gives "a very scratch resistant surface", with lumed numerals (rotation and click count not stated). Double-domed sapphire described as anti-reflective (side not stated). Super-LumiNova C3 on the dial, markers and hands (BGW9 on ISL-144). Weight 198g from the spec table (not stated what was weighed; the brand's 13mm is not stated to include the crystal). Bracelet: brushed and polished stainless steel, all solid links, sized with screws, 20mm at the lugs and 20mm at the clasp, milled deployant clasp with three micro-adjust positions (tool or tool-less not stated). ISL-141 is not tagged "Discontinued"; sold out on 2026-10-21. No independent review found. ISL-142 (pearlescent coral dial with black text), ISL-143 (robin's egg blue dial, the colour of the ISL-85, with shark-tooth indices) and ISL-144 (carbon fiber weave dial with red hands) each have their own listing; each spec table gives the same NH35, 42 x 13mm, 47mm lug to lug, engraved screw-in caseback, anti-reflective double-dome sapphire, 20mm, 200m and 198g as ISL-141 (ISL-143's table has no "Band" row, but its description gives the same screw-link bracelet and 3-position micro-adjust clasp), and the photos show the same Monster-style case, date at 6, bracelet and embossed caseback. ISL-142 and ISL-143 have a plain steel bezel with a lumed pip at 12 and C3 lume. ISL-144's case, bezel and bracelet are DLC-coated (spec table "Case Material: DLC"; the brand says the coating "will resist scratching", no hardness figure) with BGW9 on the dial, markers, hands and bezel; its page does not name the base metal except in the shared "stainless steel bracelet" text, so it is recorded as the same steel case. Because DLC is on ISL-141 (bezel) and ISL-144 (case, bezel and bracelet) only, case.hardening is not recorded at model level. ISL-142, 143 and 144 are tagged "Discontinued" in the store and were sold out on 2026-10-21; their product pages still load, so they keep store links; their prices are the last listed ones. No retailer listing or review of them found.
