Islander Black Dial Automatic Dive Watch with AR Sapphire Crystal, and Luminous Ceramic Bezel Insert #ISL-71

Islander Black Dial Automatic Dive Watch with AR Sapphire Crystal, and Lumious Ceramic Bezel Insert #ISL-71

The Islander ISL-71 dive watch has a black dial and black ceramic bezel insert with luminous markings. The hands are coated with SuperLuminova for telling the time in the dark. The 120-click uni-directional bezel has a scratch-resistant diver marked black ceramic insert that is treated with SuperLuminova. The anti-reflective flat sapphire crystal guards against scratches and provides a clear view of the dial. The day-date window is at the 3:00 position on the dial.

The ISL-71 has a familiar rounded case with an off-set crown at 4:00. The stainless steel case diameter is 40mm with a thickness of 13.5mm. Tip to tip it is a very wearable 44mm. Note that the lug ends are drilled for easier bracelet to strap changes. The case back has a rendering of Long Island on it along with the Islander name, Island Watch and 200 meter water resistance.

Powering the ISL-71 is a reliable NH36, 24-jewel automatic movement with 21,600 vibrations per hour. This self-winding movement supports hand winding and hacks (seconds hand stops when you pull out the crown). Power reserve is about 41 hours fully wound.

The bracelet features all solid links and solid end links. Plus it has a milled scissor push-button flip-lock deployant clasp with three position micro-adjustment. For sizing the bracelet, screws are used for removing bracelet links instead of pins. For sizing the bracelet, screws are used for removing bracelet links instead of pins.

    Great cushion case diver.

    Posted by Patrick M on Sep 20th 2021

    I’m a longtime Seiko dive watch collector who has many vintage and a few modern examples. This ISL-71 compares favorably and is as comfy as my vintage 6309 divers. I’ve never had a midsized diver, however, with my 6.5 in. wrists, this watch is very nice to wear. Prior to this purchase I was contemplating buying the modern Seiko Turtle reissue, but w/ the Islander’s enhanced feature set & sheer value - I took the plunge. I know this watch is marketed as a mini turtle or spork, alternative but, with it’s cushion case, ceramic bezel, and MM style dial - I like to think of it as a hybrid smaller MM with a different case shape. It’s a very handsome looking watch. The solid bracelet was fairly easy to size with a minimum of instruction, even if I had some difficulty with a couple screw links. The only criticisms I have would be that the screw down action w/ the crown could be better/smoother or more positive and I wish the day wheel had a Red Sunday/blue Sat. I’m very pleased with this purchase.

    What a great watch! I have been watching this item for some time now and quickly snapped it up when the price dropped. I am a dive watch junkie and I actually dove with all my watches (no poser here

    Mini Hybrid

    Posted by Adrian on Apr 5th 2021

    This watch is excellent. The compatibility with SKX013 parts is great. The bezel on mine felt loose, too easy to turn, but had no wobble. I used some silicon grease and that helped. Have not accidentally turned it yet. Felt disappointed with the plain looks until I walked into a darker room - the lume made me like this watch, enough to wear it all the time now.
