Islander USA Assembled Ameriquartz Dive Watch with Blue Dial #ISL-101

Introducing our first Assembled in the USA dive watch. The ISL-101 is built in the USA at the FTS (Fine Timepiece Solutions) facility in Fountain Hills, Arizona. The design takes its cues from the iconic SKX007, but moves the crown to the 3:00 position. The dial features squared off indices, as opposed to traditional round ones, with a larger double trapezoid at the 12:00 position. It gives the watch more of a vintage vibe. The size is a traditional 43mm diameter, with an 13.5mm thickness. The lug tip to lug tip size is 46mm.

The markers are applied, and filled with Superluminova C3 lume that glows a bright green in low-light conditions. The hands are silver, and filled with C3 lume as well. Completing the dive aesthetic is a solid feeling 120 click uni-directional ratcheting bezel, with a luminous blue ceramic 60 minute count-up scale. A scratch-resistant flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the underside keeps the watch looking new through its lifetime.

The blue sunburst dial is proudly marked "USA MOVT" on the bottom of the dial, as it is powered by the Ameriquartz Caliber 7122 movement with features a day and date display (note the day is one language only, English). This is a 1 jewel movement that is also assembled in the USA at the same facility. Accuracy is rated at ±20 seconds per month, and the battery is a commonly found 370/371 size, with a rated theoretical life of 36 months.

The caseback is a screwdown, and etched on the case back is the Islander branding, as well as the movement brand and battery type, so you (or your jeweler) will know the battery before you open it! What a great idea!

The crown is screwdown with the Islander logo, offering a full 200 meters of water resistance. We are proud to tell you that EACH AND EVERY ISL-101 has been tested to 200 meters of water resistance. A first for the Islander collection!

Securing the Islander to your wrist is a solid link, solid endlink bracelet that is sized with screws, so getting the right fit for your wrist is a breeze - no special tools required. The clasp is a flip-lock deployant that includes 3 position of micro-adjust, and the buckle is signed with the Islander logo.

The ISL-101 is compatible with all SKX007 sized bezels, bezel inserts, crystals and bracelets.
