Islander Mitchel Automatic Field Watch with DLC Case and White Dial #ISL-189

The Islander ISL-40 classic field watch design with a crisp white dial. The DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) applied coating is scratch resistant, and gives the watch a very stealthy look. The dial has a 12-hour scale and a smaller 24-hour scale for military time. The hour and minute hands are filled with BGW9 SuperLuminova as are the 5-minute markers around the dial. They glow a cool blue in low-light. The brushed DLC stainless steel case is a very wearable 39mm in diameter and it is 12mm thick. Lug to lug (or tip to tip) measurement is 48.5mm. The crown is a signed screw-down type that enables a better water resistance rating of 100-meters.

Inside the case is an NH36A, 24-jewel automatic movement with 21,600 vibrations per hour. The date mechanics have been removed, so while there is a ghost position, there is no ghost clicking. 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. You can view the movement via an exhibition-window (screw-down) caseback.

You will note that the dial has excellent visibility due to the use of an anti-reflective sapphire crystal that also guards against scratches.

This model comes with a black woven nylon strap with leather backing and a signed stainless steel buckle. The strap comes with quick-release pins so you can change up the look with another strap without the need for any special tools. Just use your index finger.
