Islander's first titanium watch, sold as the "Sands Point Titanium Diver" and built on the SKX007 platform (the brand says SKX007 straps, bezel inserts, hands and crystals fit). This file is the Seiko NH38 (true no-date) version, ISL-158 to ISL-161; the later ISL-259/260 use the Miyota 82S0 and cost $449 (separate file). Sandblasted titanium case, bezel and outer clasp (grade not stated): 43 x 14mm, 47mm lug to lug, 22mm lugs, screw-down crown, 200m, solid blasted, embossed screw-down caseback. Flat sapphire with inner AR. 120-click unidirectional bezel: brushed ceramic insert with lumed markings on ISL-158/159/160 (C3 on ISL-158, BGW9 on ISL-159/160; epoxy-coated triangle at 12), full-lume C3 sapphire insert with black markings on ISL-161; insert colours are from the product photos. Dial lume: C3 on the hands and markers of ISL-158, BGW9 on ISL-159/160; ISL-161 has a dial base coated in C3 with a painted coral pattern and BGW9 in the black hands. Weight 108g from the spec table and description (not stated what was weighed; the watch is sold on its strap). Fitted-end FKM rubber strap, 22mm tapering to 18mm, with a titanium deployant buckle with 6-position micro-adjust; no bracelet is offered. All four are tagged "Discontinued" in the store and were sold out on 2026-10-21; the prices are the last listed ones; their product pages still load, so they keep store links. Release date not stated by the brand.
