About this watch

Islander ISL-35 White Dial Automatic Dive Watch – Sapphire Crystal – Luminous Ceramic Bezel – 200M

The Islander ISL-35 takes the unmistakable proportions of the classic SKX-style dive watch and upgrades the formula where it counts: sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel, serious lume, solid bracelet construction, screw links, and a hand-winding/hacking automatic movement.

Its standout feature is the crisp white dial, which gives this rugged diver a completely different personality from the usual black and blue dive watches. Black-outlined hands and hour markers create excellent contrast, while Super-LumiNova provides strong nighttime visibility. The day/date display at 3 o'clock keeps the watch practical for everyday wear. (Long Island Watch)

A Serious Automatic Diver

Inside is the proven Miyota 8205 automatic movement, a 21-jewel mechanical caliber running at 21,600 vibrations per hour. It offers automatic winding, manual hand winding, hacking seconds for precise time setting, and 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 lug-to-lug. That relatively short lug-to-lug dimension is important: despite its substantial 43mm diver presence, the ISL-35 remains surprisingly wearable on the wrist. The signature screw-down crown is positioned at approximately 4 o'clock. (Long Island Watch)

Sapphire + Luminous Ceramic Bezel

Protecting the dial is a flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the underside. Sapphire provides significantly greater scratch resistance than ordinary mineral crystal, while the AR treatment improves dial visibility and can produce a subtle blue hue from certain angles. (Long Island Watch)

Surrounding it is a 120-click unidirectional dive bezel fitted with a scratch-resistant black ceramic insert. Better yet, the bezel markings are treated with Super-LumiNova, complementing the luminous hands and hour markers for an impressive glow after dark. (Long Island Watch)

Heavy-Duty Solid-Link Bracelet

The ISL-35 comes on a substantial 22mm stainless-steel bracelet with solid links AND solid end links. Removable links are secured with screws rather than friction pins, making bracelet sizing easier and giving the construction a more premium feel.

The bracelet is completed by a dual push-button flip-lock deployant clasp with three-position micro-adjustment, allowing the fit to be fine-tuned on the wrist. (Long Island Watch)

Built for the Water

A screw-down crown, screw-in caseback and 200 meters of water resistance make the ISL-35 a genuine dive-capable sports watch rather than simply a diver-inspired design. Drilled lugs also make switching between the bracelet and aftermarket straps considerably easier. (Long Island Watch)

Another particularly attractive feature for enthusiasts is its compatibility with many SKX007 aftermarket components, including compatible bezels, inserts, crystals, chapter rings, dials, hands and bracelets—giving owners enormous potential for future customization. (Long Island Watch)

Why the ISL-35 Stands Out

For collectors who appreciate the classic Japanese dive-watch formula, the ISL-35 offers an unusually strong specification package. The white dial makes it visually distinctive, while sapphire crystal, luminous ceramic bezel, 200M water resistance, solid end links and screw-link bracelet address many of the upgrades enthusiasts traditionally make to other dive watches after purchase.

It has the familiar rugged character of a traditional tool watch, but comes properly upgraded straight out of the box.
