Islander Republic Traveler GMT ISL-238 – Blue Dial – Miyota 9075 True GMT
The Islander Republic Traveler GMT ISL-238 combines the functionality of a true traveler’s GMT with the rugged capability of a 200-meter sports watch. Its handsome blue dial, compact 40mm case and high-beat Japanese automatic movement make it an especially compelling choice for frequent travelers and mechanical-watch enthusiasts.
At the heart of the ISL-238 is the Miyota 9075 Traveler GMT automatic movement. Unlike an office GMT, the 9075 allows the local hour hand to be adjusted independently in one-hour increments, making changing time zones quick and convenient without stopping the watch. The 24-jewel movement runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour, features hacking and hand-winding, and offers approximately 40 hours of power reserve. (Long Island Watch)
The GMT hand features a distinctive airplane-shaped tip and works with the 24-hour chapter ring. Combined with the bidirectional bezel, the Republic can be configured to track up to three time zones simultaneously—a genuinely useful feature for international travelers. (Long Island Watch)
The blue dial uses large applied Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9, complemented by luminous applied indices and aviator-style hands. The sapphire bezel incorporates C3 Super-LumiNova, while the GMT-hand tip is also luminous for excellent nighttime readability. (Long Island Watch)
Protecting the dial is a flat sapphire crystal with internal anti-reflective coating. A color-matched date window is discreetly positioned between 4 and 5 o'clock, maintaining the clean symmetry of the dial. (Long Island Watch)
The stainless-steel case measures an extremely wearable 40mm in diameter, 46.5mm lug-to-lug and 13.1mm thick. A screw-down crown and screw-down caseback provide 200 meters of water resistance, making the Republic equally comfortable traveling across continents or heading into the water. (Long Island Watch)
Completing the watch is a brushed-and-polished stainless-steel bracelet with screwed links and solid end links. The bracelet tapers from 20mm to 18mm and features a particularly useful tool-free micro-adjustable clasp with seven adjustment positions for precise sizing throughout the day. (Long Island Watch)

“my first purchase from Chrono24, and I honestly don’t have enough space to describe how much I appreciate the seller, rafael. we had a conversation that lasted several days, with many questions because of my concerns and doubts. The patience, respect, and professionalism I received from rafael were worth everything. every question was answered. every concern and fear disappeared. I received my watch faster than most of the purchases I make in my own country! and on top of that, I received a gift. nothing about this experience was taken for granted. I received a watch, I received a gift, and I also gained a friend named RAFAEL. rafael, my bro-when I travel to the usa , the first thing I’m doing is coming to see you, shake your hand, and give you a big hug! Thank you!”
