Islander 38mm Automatic Dive Watch with Grey Waffle Dial and Blue Accents #ISL-125

This 38mm automatic dive watch has an intriguing waffle dial done in a cool grey color. To accent the grey, an electric blue color is used on the applied indices as well as an electric blue seconds hand. A date is easily read at 3:00, of course with matching electric blue frame. The hour and minute hands are a nice contrasting gun metal color.

Many of our customers have been asking for a 38mm diver for smaller wrists, and the ISL-125 does not disappoint. Besides being smaller in size, and a very cozy 44.5mm lug tip to lug tip, the link bracelet is equipped with negative endlinks. This allows the bracelet to curve easily to your wrist, instead of sticking out (which increases apparent size). The bracelet is solid link, solid endlink and is sized with screws. It is a 20mm lug width, and tapers to 16mm at the clasp.

Inside beats a Seiko NH35, which is a date only automatic movement that supports hand winding and hacking, with a 40 hour power reserve. For a retro design element we also decided to have the custom oversized signed Islander logo crown at the 3:00 position without crown guards. This allows for easy access to set the time and date as well as manually winding the NH35 movement. To time your dives, or your laundry, the watch is equipped with a 120 click unidirectional ratcheting coin-edge bezel. Atop the bezel is a black ceramic insert with a matching blue triangle accent.

For low light visibility the hands, markers and bezel insert are all done in BGW9 lume. This is a lume that is white in daylight, but glows a cool blue when the lights go down. The dial is protected by a flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective blue coating on the underside.

This watch is compatible with SKX013 parts such as bracelets, bezels, bezel inserts, casebacks, hands, crystals, dials and chapter rings.

The caseback is the new Islander embossed pattern.
