Islander Upper Brookville Hi-Beat Automatic Dress watch with Ink Black Dial #ISL-289

The Islander Upper Brookville was designed for the customer who enjoys our original 38mm Brookville, but desires something in a larger case diameter. Encompassing all the same visual elements as its smaller sibling, but on a larger scale, the Upper Brookville is 41mm in diameter. The thickness is a mere 10.3mm, and the lug to lug is held to just 47.5mm, so even those with smaller wrists can wear it in confidence. We didn’t just stop there, though, we incorporated negative endlinks into the bracelet, so endlink overhang will not occur.

Powered by a Miyota 9015 movement, the second hand of the Upper Brookville beats at 28,800 beats per hour, which translates to a smooth 8 ticks per second. The dial is protected from the elements by a scratch resistant, flat sapphire crystal with inner AR. The crown is screwdown, and the water resistance is a robust 100 meters. Turning the watch over and you are treated with a view of the 9015 movement through the exhibition caseback, as well as another Islander first, a customized movement rotor. The rotor has been plated blue, and the Islander name and logo printed in contrasting white ink.

The dial is a beautiful ink black color with a birch texture that needs to be experienced. The hands are silver, as are the applied markers, and both are filled with Super-LumiNova BGW9 lume which glows a cool blue when the lights go down. Securing the Upper Brookville to your wrist is a 22mm brushed bracelet. It is solid link and solid endlink, and sizing is done with screws. The bracelet tapers to 16mm at the clasp. The clasp itself is a 4 position micro-adjust clasp with double push-buttons.
