About this watch

Islander Saltaire ISL-281 – 38mm Solar Dive Watch – Pure White Dial – 200M

The Islander Saltaire ISL-281 is a compact, highly capable solar-powered dive watch featuring a crisp pure white dial, sapphire crystal, 200-meter water resistance and an innovative Miyota 2070 Ring Solar movement. At just 38mm, it offers serious dive-watch specifications in an exceptionally wearable package. (Long Island Watch)

One of the most interesting features of the Saltaire is its unusual solar technology. Instead of placing the solar collector underneath the dial, the Miyota 2070 positions the solar collector around the rehaut/chapter ring. This allows Islander to use a fully opaque dial rather than the partially translucent dials commonly required by solar watches. (Long Island Watch)

The Miyota 2070 provides approximately four months of operation from a full charge and is rated to an accuracy of approximately ±20 seconds per month. It also incorporates an EOL (End-of-Life) indicator: when the stored charge becomes low, the seconds hand begins moving in two-second increments to signal that the watch needs additional exposure to light. (Long Island Watch)

The stainless-steel case measures a compact 38mm in diameter, 12.5mm thick and 46mm lug-to-lug, making the Saltaire particularly comfortable for everyday wear. Despite its modest dimensions, a screw-down crown helps provide a substantial 200 meters of water resistance. (Long Island Watch)

Protecting the pure white dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Surrounding it is a 120-click unidirectional dive bezel topped with a domed mineral-crystal ring. Super-LumiNova is applied to the dial, hands and bezel for strong low-light visibility. (Long Island Watch)

The Saltaire is supplied on a substantial stainless-steel bracelet featuring solid links and solid end links. Screwed links make sizing straightforward, while the six-position tool-free ratcheting micro-adjust clasp allows quick adjustment directly on the wrist. The bracelet measures 20mm at the lugs and tapers to 18mm at the clasp. (Long Island Watch)

The ISL-281 Saltaire is a particularly interesting alternative to a conventional automatic diver. You get the convenience of solar power with a four-month reserve, but Islander's ring-solar system allows the watch to retain a true opaque white dial. Add the 38mm dimensions, sapphire crystal, 200M rating, strong lume and tool-free micro-adjust bracelet, and it makes an excellent grab-and-go everyday dive watch. (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!”
