About this entry
95% of key specs known. Missing: hardening.
Charity limited edition for the Brian LaViolette Scholarship Foundation (100% of proceeds donated; sold with the family's book "The Journey is the Reward" and a foundation deck of cards), made in 36mm and 40mm versions; the 40mm is a separate model. "Limited edition watch of 77 pieces, and each is individually numbered", with XX/77 etched on the caseback; StrapHabit reports 154 made in total and that all 77 of the 40mm sold, so the limit is 77 per size. StrapHabit describes it as the limited cousin of the 36mm Islander Manhasset, with a look familiar to fans of the 36mm Rolex Explorer (3-6-9 dial). Seiko NH35: StrapHabit quotes the brand that the date mechanism is removed (the crown keeps the extra position); the photos show no date window. Silver sunburst dial with applied numerals and markers filled with C3 Super-LumiNova, polished skeleton-style hands outlined in C3, dark green seconds hand, foundation logo on the lower dial. 36mm, 12mm thick, 43mm lug to lug, flat sapphire with inner AR, screw-down crown, 100m, exhibition caseback (screw-down not stated), custom etched rotor. Case "Stainless Steel" (grade not stated); finishing and fixed bezel per StrapHabit. Weight 125g from the spec table (not stated what was weighed). Bracelet: solid links and solid end links, sized with screws, 20mm tapering to 16mm at a "deployant, 3 position micro adjust clasp"; StrapHabit describes it as an oyster-style bracelet with a stamped clasp and three micro-adjust holes (clasp type not stated). Tagged "Discontinued" in the Long Island Watch store and sold out on 2026-10-21.
