Islander ISL-91 – Pilot-Style Dial Automatic Dive Watch – 200M

The Islander ISL-91 combines the instant readability of a classic pilot watch with the rugged construction of a serious automatic diver. Its bold black pilot-style dial, fully luminous ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal and Japanese NH36 automatic movement make it a distinctive alternative to the traditional dive-watch design.

The black dial uses oversized pilot-style hour markers designed for exceptional at-a-glance readability. Super-LumiNova is applied generously to the hands and markers, giving the ISL-91 excellent visibility after dark. Islander notes that the design recalls the highly collectible Seiko “Spork,” a discontinued model that developed a strong following among enthusiasts. (Long Island Watch)

Inside is the dependable Seiko/TMI NH36 automatic movement. This 24-jewel Japanese caliber runs at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers automatic winding, manual winding and hacking seconds, along with approximately 41 hours of power reserve when fully wound. (Long Island Watch)

The stainless-steel case measures 43mm in diameter, 14mm thick and only 46mm tip-to-tip. That relatively short lug-to-lug measurement gives the watch substantial visual presence without making it excessively long on the wrist. The offset screw-down crown at 4 o'clock further improves wearing comfort, while drilled lugs make bracelet and strap changes easier. (Long Island Watch)

Protecting the dial is a scratch-resistant flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the underside. The AR treatment can produce a subtle blue hue at certain viewing angles while helping reduce reflections and improve dial visibility. (Long Island Watch)

One of the ISL-91's standout features is its 120-click unidirectional dive bezel with a black ceramic insert. Unlike many ceramic bezels where only the pip is luminous, the ISL-91's insert is treated with Super-LumiNova, producing a dramatic glow alongside the illuminated dial. (Long Island Watch)

The watch is rated to 200 meters of water resistance and features an engraved screw-down caseback depicting Long Island. It is supplied on a substantial stainless-steel bracelet with solid links, solid end links and screwed sizing links, finished with a dual push-button flip-lock deployant clasp and three-position micro-adjustment.
