Islander Black DLC Aviator Automatic Watch with Leather Strap and an Anti-Reflective Sapphire Crystal #ISL-46

This is a new version of the Islander ISL-46 with a black Type-A dial. The dial is unbranded like many of the vintage WWII offerings. The hour hand, minute hand, and dial markings are all treated with C3 SuperLuminova. The seconds hand is painted orange. You will note that the dial has excellent visibility due to the use of an anti-reflective sapphire crystal that also guards against scratches.

The black DLC case is a very wearable 42mm in diameter and it is just 12mm thick. Lug to lug (or tip to tip) measurement is 48mm. The screw-in case back has the silhouette of an F-14 fighter jet etched into it. The iconic F-14 was manufactured by the Grumman company on Long Island and it was featured in the movie Top Gun.

Inside the case is an NH38 (a true no-date movement), 24-jewel automatic movement with 21,600 vibrations per hour. This self-winding movement supports hand winding and hacks (seconds hand stops when you pull out the crown). Power reserve is about 41 hours fully wound. This model comes with a black leather strap with matching stitching. The buckle is signed (i.e. Islander logo). The lug width is 22mm. The ISL-46 aviator watch also features a screw down crown which provides a water resistance rating of 100 meters.

Happy I purchased an ISL46 !!!
May 16, 2022 by Steve G. (NY, United States)
“Just got my ISL46, beautiful !!! Great quality strap too, which was understated in the product video, a nice surprise.

It’s a work of art for a functional, minimal, symmetrical and highly legible watch! Something I have been searching for for quite some time. The lack of a date window and other logos on the face of the watch is a real plus for a simplified and balanced clean look. This is very unique.

It’s nice to see a company so passionate about its products as well as exceptional customer service.
This watch is a great value too! Bravo!”
Great on its own, outstanding at this price

“Can't find a fleiger this well appointed at any price close to this one. You're getting a lot of premium features: stainless, sapphire, water resistance, matte DLC, C3 lume, screw crown, good movement, as well as great build and fit and finish. I have a fairly small wrist at 6.25 and it still manages to wear well on traditional and elastic NATO bands. My example's NH35 is keeping ridiculously good time, I'm nearing 5 weeks since I last set it and am at -6 seconds total, wild. Very happy with this watch. Aside from a T100 variant, I'm not sure what more I could ask for in a modernized fleiger, and the price makes it a no brainer if you love this style.”
Absolutely Outstanding

“Very clean dial, authentic Type A Flieger. At first I didn't think I would appreciate a no date watch, but this absolutely blew me away. The contrasting orange seconds hand is the icing on the cake. Absolutely love this watch.”
