About this entry

87% of key specs known. Missing: hardening, bracelet offered.

The Mitchel is Islander's 39mm field watch with a 12-hour dial and inner 24-hour scale; the DAY-T versions show the day and date together at 6 ("due to the configuration of the day wheel, there is only one language (English)"). This file is the current Miyota 8205 build; the earlier NH36 DAY-T (ISL-129, ISL-188) is a separate model. The brand says the 8205 hand-winds and hacks. Case "stainless steel" (grade not stated), brushed on ISL-194; ISL-187 has a black DLC-coated case (spec table "Case Material: DLC"), so hardening is not set for the model as a whole. Hands and 5-minute markers are lumed with Super-LumiNova (grade not stated). Sapphire is anti-reflective (side and shape not stated). Weight 70g from the spec table, not stated what was weighed. Woven nylon strap with leather backing, quick-release pins and a signed steel buckle. The ISL-187 description opens with text copied from ISL-129 ("The Islander Mitchel ISL-129 ..."); its title, spec table and photos are the black DLC watch. Both were in stock on 2026-10-21.
