About this entry
93% of key specs known. Missing: hardening.
Sold as the "Penn Automatic Railroad Watch", named after Penn Station (the LIRR terminus); railroad-style hands and numerals, a "record player" pattern in the dial centre and a 24-hour scale hidden in the railroad track chapter ring. Dial designed by Marvin Menke of Hemel Watches. Seiko NH36 with the day and date mechanics removed, so no calendar is shown. Stainless steel case (grade not stated), 36 x 12mm, 44mm lug to lug, 20mm lugs, screw-down crown, 100m. Flat sapphire with inner AR on the front and a sapphire exhibition caseback (how the caseback is attached is not stated). Fixed polished bezel, from the photos. Lume differs by dial: ISL-170 has a fully luminous BGW9 outer ring with black, unlumed hands and numerals; ISL-171 has C3 Super-LumiNova in the hands and at each hour marker. Weight 63g from the spec table (not stated what was weighed). Sold on a 20mm leather strap with a pin buckle (quick release not stated); the store sells separate solid-link bracelets for it (BRAC-72/73), but the watch itself was not offered on one. Both references are tagged "Discontinued" and were sold out on 2026-10-21.
