About this entry
68% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening, crown, bracelet links, end links, clasp micro-adjust.
Island Watch's first "design by committee" watch: viewers of its YouTube channel voted on the parts over several months. Sold as a pre-order listing ("Pre-Order Islander Diver - Help Me Build This First Edition"), so the $299 is recorded as a pre-order price; no other price was found. Seiko NH36 with day and date at 3 (the brand quotes about 41 hours' reserve). 43mm per the spec table (no diameter in the description), 46mm lug to lug, 14mm thick, 22mm lugs, 200m; "stainless steel" (grade not stated); embossed screw-in solid caseback; crown at 3 without crown guards (screw-down not stated); the case takes Seiko SKX007/009 aftermarket parts. Sunburst blue dial; Super-LumiNova on the hands and hour markers, and the logo under 12 is luminous. 120-click unidirectional bezel with a knurled edge and a lumed blue ceramic insert. Double-domed anti-reflective sapphire (AR side not stated; the importer's "both" was not supported by the page). All-solid-link bracelet sized with screws, with a deployant clasp (micro-adjust not stated). Not the same watch as the 43mm ISL-149 (flat crystal, sapphire insert, no-date NH36), so it is a separate model. Tagged "Discontinued" in the Long Island Watch store and sold out on 2026-10-21.
