The Islander 38mm Automatic Dive Watch is a high-specification automatic dive watch engineered to provide a "best-of" configuration for watch enthusiasts. Housed in a compact 38mm stainless steel case, it offers a versatile and comfortable fit, particularly for those with smaller wrists or those who prefer classic, mid-size proportions. The deep matte black dial is accented by applied indices and a matching date window at the 3 o’clock position, creating a timeless aesthetic that functions as both a rugged tool and a refined daily wearer.
Durability and legibility are the cornerstones of the 38mm Automatic Dive Watch design. It features a scratch-resistant ceramic bezel insert that is fully graduated and treated with Super-LumiNova C3 for exceptional low-light visibility. The dial is protected by a flat sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective (AR) coating on the underside to minimize glare. With a screw-down crown and a solid, embossed case back, the watch provides a professional-grade 200-meter water resistance rating.
Inside the watch beats the reliable Seiko NH35 automatic movement, a 24-jewel Japanese caliber known for its durability and hacking/hand-winding capabilities. The 38mm Automatic Dive Watch comes equipped with a high-quality stainless steel bracelet featuring solid links, solid end links, and a milled scissor-style clasp for a secure feel. For easy resizing, the bracelet utilizes screw-in links rather than traditional pins, reflecting the enthusiast-focused engineering found throughout the Islander collection.
