The perfect companion for globetrotters, combining the durability of a dive watch with the elegance of the endless sky.
The Islander JFK GMT in Gray Cloud shatters the myth that you have to spend astronomical sums for an uncompromising travel watch with an automatic movement. This piece was designed by the American brand Islander with a clear goal: to offer watch enthusiasts premium specifications, extreme durability and a design that will transport you above the clouds every time you look at your wrist. The name “JFK” is a symbolic tribute to the busy New York International Airport, which fits this GMT watch perfectly.
The main magnet of this model is undoubtedly its stunning gray dial with a three-dimensional embossed texture of flying clouds (Cloud Dial). This plastic pattern creates beautiful depth and feels like a living work of art on the wrist. The dial is complemented by dark gray (gunmetal) 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 with the second time zone, the GMT hand arrow is deliberately coated with a C3 compound, so that it contrasts with a bright green tone in the dark.
While most GMT watches on the market are fragile social models, the Islander JFK is built as an uncompromising tool. 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 gray-black combination, which is practically scratch-resistant and also has completely backlit numbers. Thanks to the combination of an inner 24-hour ring and a 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 a 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 positions of micro-adjustment, so the watch fits perfectly on every wrist.
Islander JFK #ISL-208 represents the ultimate “One Watch Collection” – the only watch that can handle a formal business meeting, demanding travel across time zones, and an afternoon surfing in the ocean. It offers a price-performance ratio that is unrivaled in this category.
