The perfect companion for globetrotters, combining the durability of a dive watch with the legendary and highly sought-after “Batman” color combination.
The Islander JFK GMT in Batman variant brings one of the most popular color schemes in watchmaking history to your wrist. This piece was designed by American brand Islander with a clear goal: to offer watch enthusiasts premium specifications, extreme durability and a visually appealing design in a black and blue finish that refers to the deep night sky. The name “JFK” is a symbolic homage to the busy New York International Airport, which fits this GMT watch perfectly.
The main magnet of this model is undoubtedly its stunning black and blue dial with a three-dimensional embossed texture of flying clouds (Cloud Dial). The smooth color gradient from dark black at the top to deep blue at the bottom creates a fascinating depth in combination with the plastic pattern of clouds. The dial is complemented by sharply cut silver indexes and hands, which are generously filled with premium Swiss luminescence BGW9 Super-LumiNova, which glows bright blue in the dark. But so that you never get confused about the second time zone, the distinctive GMT hand is made in contrasting blue and coated with a C3 compound, so it glows green in the dark, which guarantees instant readability of the home time in any conditions.
While most GMT watches on the market are fragile social accessories, the Islander JFK is built as an uncompromising tool for discomfort. It offers a massive water resistance of 200 meters, a screw-down crown cleverly placed at the 4 o'clock position (so that it does not press on the back of the hand) and a domed sapphire crystal with an internal anti-reflective layer. The bidirectional rotating bezel is fitted with a sapphire insert in a matching black-blue combination. The sapphire is practically scratch-resistant and the bezel also features fully backlit numerals for perfect orientation at night. Thanks to the combination of the inner 24-hour ring and the rotating bezel, you can easily watch up to three time zones at once on the watch. The overall impression of luxury and comfort is completed by the precisely crafted steel bracelet. Its links are connected by screws, the bracelet tapers pleasantly towards the clasp, and the massive milled folding clasp offers 6 micro-adjustment positions, so the watch fits perfectly in every situation.
Islander JFK #ISL-338 “Batman” combines immortal watchmaking aesthetics with an original artistic detail in the form of plastic clouds. It is the perfect choice for men looking for universal, sporty-elegant automatic watches with a GMT function that have a strong character, top-notch workmanship, and simply look great on the wrist.
