A purebred diving watch that opens your wrist to the depths of the ocean. The perfect combination of rugged durability and captivating beauty of sea waves.
The Islander Bayport model represents the essence of what a modern, functional and reliable diving watch (so-called tool watch) should look like. While many classic models rely on settled simplicity, the Blue Wave variant comes with a refreshing design inspired by the unbridled water element. This piece from the American brand Islander is designed to handle the demanding conditions of deep diving without hesitation, but thanks to its elegant workmanship it will also look great when worn everyday in the city or in the office.
The main magnet of this watch is undoubtedly its breathtaking royal blue dial with a plastic texture of sea waves (Wave Dial). This finely embossed 3D relief captures the dynamics of the turbulent ocean and creates a captivating play of light and shadow with every movement of the hand, giving the watch a luxurious depth. The dial is complemented by distinctive silver hands and indexes, which ensure perfect and immediate readability of the time. However, the real magic happens after dark - the watch is generously equipped with premium Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 luminescence. The indexes, hands and complete markings on the bezel emit an intense, bright blue light, which ensures excellent visibility in the dark and in murky water.
The case of the Islander Bayport watch was designed with maximum emphasis on ergonomics and comfort. With a universal diameter of 40 mm and a thickness of only 13 mm (including the glass), the watch sits very subtly on the wrist and fits perfectly under the cuff, which is not usual for models with a water resistance of 200 meters. The unidirectional rotating diving bezel is fitted with a blue ceramic insert that matches the dial. Ceramic is extremely hard and virtually scratch-resistant, so the bezel will retain its pristine appearance for years to come. The dial is protected by a flat sapphire crystal with an internal anti-reflective coating that reliably eliminates unwanted glare in direct sunlight. The watch is held on the wrist by a robust steel bracelet with full end links and a clasp with micro-adjustment holes, ensuring that the watch fits perfectly in any weather.
The Islander Bayport #ISL-311 is the ideal choice for those looking for an uncompromising mechanical watch with a distinctive character. With a combination of a scratch-resistant ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal, top-notch Swiss luminescence and a plastic wave dial, this model offers value that you will find in vain among established big brands at this price level. It is a watch with the soul of the sea that will never let you down.
