About this entry

58% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening, crown, lume, bracelet links, end links, link attachment, clasp micro-adjust.

Brand spec (Islandus, Islandus 1919 and Islandus Dakota pages): 44mm x 11.5mm polished 316L steel case, curved sapphire crystal with multi-layer AR on the inside, sapphire display back, 5 ATM, 22mm lug width, 53mm lug-to-lug, 42-hour power reserve. Movement: the brand describes a Swiss Made automatic "Execution Top" with 25 jewels, Incabloc shock protection, custom decoration with blued screws and rhodium plating, "Assortment Chronometer" fine tuning and adjustment in five positions, but never names the caliber. 25 jewels, ETA's "Execution Top" grade and Incabloc match the ETA 2824-2 Top (a Sellita SW200-1 has 26 jewels), and aBlogtoWatch's Islandus review and Fifth Wrist's Sif N.A.R.T. review both name a top-grade ETA 2824(-2), so eta-2824-2 with grade Top is recorded. The brand gives no rate figures, so no regulation claim is recorded beyond the grade's factory five-position adjustment. Dials: the Islandus has black or white brilliant dials with Roman or Arabic numerals (red 12 on the Arabic dials), or the galvanic silver Classic with flame-blued hands, with date at six and no lume mentioned; the 1919 (pilot style) black, brown or silver sunburst dials with Super-LumiNova hands and date at three; the Dakota black or silver grain dials with old-radium or black Super-LumiNova numerals and date at six. Dial lume is left blank because it varies by variant. White-dial Islandus can be ordered with blue hands for USD 245 more. aBlogtoWatch reviewed the Islandus 44mm in 2013 (then about EUR 1,800). The steel bracelet option is a mesh bracelet (seen in the product photos); its clasp isn't described. Prices: the store's own, in US dollars (its only currency). The store says watch prices include all import/export duties and DHL Express shipping and insurance to the door worldwide, so they are delivered prices; VAT isn't mentioned separately. Strap and bracelet choices change the price and are recorded as configurations. Several colourways are listed more than once in the store with the same options and prices; each listing has its own store entry.
