The Islander Astoria Automatic Dress Watch brings a sophisticated tonneau silhouette to the lineup, offering a vintage-inspired alternative to traditional round cases. The pale blue dial is textured, featuring a central "eye" pattern surrounded by a ring of radial striations that catch the light from every angle. Polished cathedral hands and Roman numerals at the cardinal positions lend an air of old-world elegance, while the inclusion of Super-LumiNova ensures that this dress piece remains functional even after the sun goes down.
Designed for an effortless fit, the Astoria features a compact 34mm width and a 37mm height, with a total lug-to-lug distance of 44.2mm. Its most impressive dimension is its 9.2mm thickness, which allows the watch to disappear under a formal shirt cuff with ease. The 18mm lug width accommodates a comfortable leather-backed fabric strap that uses quick-release pins for simple changes, and at just 53 grams, the watch provides a lightweight experience that won't weigh down your wrist during a long day or evening event.
Internally, the Astoria is powered by the Miyota 9039 automatic movement, a Japanese caliber that beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour for a smooth, mechanical seconds sweep. This is a "true no-date" movement, meaning it lacks a calendar complication and a "ghost" crown position, maintaining perfect dial symmetry. The watch is shielded by a flat sapphire crystal with an inner anti-reflective coating and features a solid caseback etched with the historic Steinway Manor of Queens, New York.
