Islander Saltaire ISL-357 – 38mm Solar Dive Watch – Blue Dial – 200M

The Islander Saltaire ISL-357 is a compact, highly capable solar dive watch built around a richly textured blue metallic dial, sapphire crystal, 200-meter water resistance and the innovative Miyota 2070 Ring Solar movement. At just 38mm, it delivers serious dive-watch specifications in a comfortable size that's ideal for everyday wear. (Long Island Watch)

The blue dial is one of the highlights of the ISL-357. Rather than a conventional flat finish, Islander uses a textured metallic blue surface with a smooth debossed section beneath the applied hour markers. Silver-tone hands and markers provide crisp contrast, while red accents on the seconds hand and dial add a sporty touch without overpowering the design. (Long Island Watch)

What makes the Saltaire particularly interesting is its Miyota 2070 Ring Solar quartz movement. Unlike conventional solar movements that place the solar collector behind the dial, the 2070 incorporates its collector into the rehaut/chapter ring. This allows Islander to use a fully opaque metallic dial while retaining all the convenience of solar power. (Long Island Watch)

On a full charge, the movement can operate for approximately four months, with rated accuracy of approximately ±20 seconds per month. It also incorporates an EOL low-charge indicator: when power is running low, the seconds hand begins advancing in two-second increments, signaling that the watch needs more exposure to light.

The stainless-steel case measures a compact 38mm in diameter, 12.5mm thick and 46mm lug-to-lug. These proportions give the Saltaire excellent wearability while retaining the solid feel expected from a proper dive watch. A screw-down crown helps provide a substantial 200 meters of water resistance. (Long Island Watch)

Protecting the dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Surrounding it is a 120-click unidirectional dive bezel topped by a domed mineral-crystal ring. Super-LumiNova is used on the dial, hands and bezel, providing strong visibility in low-light conditions. (Long Island Watch)

The ISL-357 is fitted to a substantial stainless-steel bracelet with solid links and solid end links. Screwed links simplify sizing, while the excellent six-position tool-free ratcheting micro-adjust clasp allows the fit to be adjusted directly on the wrist. The bracelet tapers from 20mm at the lugs to 18mm at the clasp. (Long Island Watch)
