89% of key specs known. Missing: hardening, bracelet links.

Islander's first solar watch (per the first-batch description), sold as the "Saltaire 38mm Solar Dive Watch". Miyota 2070 ring-solar quartz (true no-date; 4 months on a full charge, ±20 s/month; the seconds hand moves in 2-second steps when the charge is low); the solar collector forms the rehaut, so the textured metal dials are opaque. Stainless steel case (grade not stated), 38 x 12.5mm, 46mm lug to lug, 20mm lugs, screw-down crown, 200m, solid embossed caseback (attachment not stated). Flat sapphire with inner AR. 120-click unidirectional bezel topped with a domed mineral crystal ring (recorded as insert "other"); Super-LumiNova on the dial, hands and bezel (grade not stated). Two batches with the same case and movement: ISL-278/279/280 came on a 3-link solid-link bracelet with a 6-position micro-adjust deployant clasp (the brand pointed buyers wanting tool-less adjustment to its CLASP-03), spec-table weight 155g; ISL-281 and ISL-357/358/359, listed as new in August 2026, have a jubilee-style solid-link bracelet with a 6-position tool-less ratcheting clasp (whether it adjusts on the wrist is not stated), weight 146g. Weights are not stated as to what was weighed; the model-level weight and clasp are the current batch's. Both bracelets have solid end links, screws and a 20 to 18mm taper. Bracelet styles and bezel colours are from the photos. ISL-281 shares its number with the first batch but its listing now carries the current description, spec table and jubilee-bracelet photos. ISL-278 to 280 are tagged "Discontinued" and were sold out on 2026-10-21; ISL-281 and ISL-357 to 359 were in stock. Serious Watches lists a 2-year warranty against the brand's 1 year.
