This Flieger is JUST PLANE COOL

It's been a year and a half since we launched our first series of 39mm fliegers. We've brought them back - same great movement and specs, but freshened up the look with 6 new styles, including a bracelet.
Come see them all -

Thank you for watching!

[@xgford94]

for those wondering TWA and Pan Am

[@greamespens1460]

Spruce Goose silver

[@islandwatch]

;)

[@lingo654]

lol thanks so much I wasn’t even sure what to google.

[@andrewhannam.]

Always nice to see the Islander Flieger series evolve over the years. Love the unique colourway versions!

[@islandwatch]

thanks so much

[@mcdon2401]

Cracking range of fliegers, and loving the 2 PVD options.

[@islandwatch]

thank you

[@LS1007]

Awesome looking Fliegers! I have one of the previous ones with the blue dial and brown leather strap and I love it! Well done Marc. 🙌🏻Have a great day!

[@islandwatch]

Thanks 👍

[@miss2369]

They all look amazing love pilot watche!

[@sledgehammerlion]

This is awesome. I actually messaged you after buying my islander flieger expressing my interest in a bracelet model. Here it is!

[@jefferyneu3915]

Well done Marc!

[@steffenaarsnes8066]

Blue one is such a winner for me! Probably my favourite of the one's I've seen, and not just out of the bunch. Great job and awesome specs for the price! I might have to pick one up

[@islandwatch]

thank you so much!

[@trentm9372]

Thanks for these new colorway B-Dials, especially with the addition of the bracelets! I love my 42mm Islander DLC A-Dial and B-Dial. Please note my suggestions for versions with date complication and a red dial.

[@rohanes]

The two airline ones are amazing! I'm sure the blue sunburst would be a fan fave, but the muted gold dial with that brown strap would be my pick.

[@mikep5478]

I see what you did there Marc. Nice design and I'm digging the Vintage Gold Livery Color Scheme. Best of luck with these!

[@islandwatch]

thanks! Gotta stay safe!

[@ethanlareau3970]

Sweet additions! I particularly like the beige face with yellow hands and the red “plane” on the seconds hand. Thank you for your honesty and for the great quality and specs for the price! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@islandwatch]

Thanks for watching!

[@GapBahnDirk]

Delightful B dial fleigers! 👍👍

[@DavidHolliday]

That PanAm version is a beauty. Nice job, Marc!

[@islandwatch]

thank you

[@azdbuk]

Boy, all these are cool, usually I have a clear favorite, but in this batch it is a close race, The first one---The black ones--The "muted gold" dial.......it is a photo finish for me, these 4 are keepers....well done.

[@islandwatch]

thanks!

[@enthusiastsreview6459]

Love the plane second hand!

[@islandwatch]

not plain, plane. LOL

[@brianeharmonjr]

Killer stuff as always. I think the grey on black and Pan-Am are my favorites of the bunch.

[@islandwatch]

thanks so much.

[@Tdawg0620]

that sunburst blue is stunning!

[@islandwatch]

thank you

[@DavidWoodsGuitar]

LOVE these new Fli-landers, Marc! ;-)

[@islandwatch]

thank you!

[@H0kram]

The black ones and the TWA and Pan Am ones are the coolest B dial fliegers I've ever seen, and very sweet proportions!

[@islandwatch]

thank you!

[@scottt2012]

I was thinking Continental vs. TWA - either way I love it.

[@almog3875]

That blue 💙

[@Jamie-Jameson]

Hard choice! I went with the navy blue dial. Quite legible, and I like the red on the seconds hand... just wish it had the plane on it.

[@islandwatch]

It is very legible, thanks. Yes, I know, but didn't want to do it on all.

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Nice watch. I really like the TWA & Pan Am versions. Super cool Mark. Have a great week. -David

[@islandwatch]

thank you, David.

[@to2055]

Wonderful watches! Congratulations. 👍

[@islandwatch]

Many thanks!

[@zillsburyy1]

mark i just got a san martin pelagos. the blue color on the dial & bezel are impressive!!!!!

[@islandwatch]

great!

[@shaunoftheguads]

Would like to see a pvd blacked out model with neon yellow accents.

[@islandwatch]

that would be cool.

[@Sedge63]

Another nice one Marc.

[@islandwatch]

thanks!

[@todddewell6314]

Very nice Mark!!

[@islandwatch]

thank you

[@macguyverson9370]

Nice looking watches!

[@islandwatch]

thanks.

[@CUSTODIAN70]

Love'em all,altough 39mm is a little bit small for me.As for the GHOST,I propose (if I may) a quartz or a solar quartz,employing an LED backlight.That will improve its night visibility quite a lot.Thank you for your time.

[@islandwatch]

noted, thank you.

[@fubarmodelyard1392]

Those are really nice. Especially the two "mystery" dials

[@islandwatch]

only a mystery to some, LOL

[@KC-bv9kf]

Very nice. Very, very nice!

[@islandwatch]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Markat1628]

The TWA and Pan Am models are especially nice. I usually don’t gravitate towards the flieger style but these are sharp and very legible. Now I have to consider one of these. You have to slow down introducing new models lol. I just got the rangemaster and not one but two JFKs (storm and blue). Bank account needs to refill😊

[@islandwatch]

okay, give it some time, then come back!

[@emptyMan0]

They look great and the bracelet seems incredibly high quality for the price.

[@islandwatch]

thanks.

[@MrBacchus18]

Yes you fixed the hour hand! Now people will say it's too stubby lol Just bought an Archimede 39mm a dial but I may swing around for your b dial later. The ghost watch looks cool as well

[@islandwatch]

LOL, thanks.

[@jordyb9073]

Love my Ghost Dial!!!

[@JohnClarkW]

That Vintage Blue with the plane on the second hand is dope !!

[@islandwatch]

thanks so much

[@JohnClarkW]

@@islandwatch I have always liked Fliegers, and the no date was an ideal pairing.

[@dustinr16]

These all look great Marc, especially the bracelet. I don’t understand the red tail on the second hand of the blue model though? I’d personally rather have the tip of the second hand painted red or just make the whole hand red? Keep the awesome watches coming!

[@PokashProductions]

I like the new hour hand length. Bought me one.

[@jerryjensen6430]

Nice watch, all the dials and cases are great! 2 micro adjustments is wrong nowadays. On the fly adjustments is we’re the watch industry is going and you could have made a great step forward! Also you should have used the NH38 no date movement.

[@fuloplehel]

Great watches, I like the black with the blue hands. 👍👍👍👍

[@islandwatch]

Looks pretty cool, don't it?!?!?

[@rainappleby]

DLC+just plain white indices would look aaaweesome.

[@admarrero]

I had the 42mm B-Dial but I gifted it to a friend of mine because it wasn’t for me. But, that black PVD is going to go great with my Hawkeye!

[@islandwatch]

awesome watch!

[@hattyfarbuckle]

The black dial with the blue and yellow accents is super cool

[@islandwatch]

thanks!

[@mikea.4914]

Was I shopping for a type-b flieger watch today? No, I was not. But, I mean, only $229? Cool watch with a nicely thought out design. Love it, Mark!

[@islandwatch]

haha, that's the idea. Thank you.

[@Trapvision3D]

I love the ghost pilot!💯

[@islandwatch]

thanks!

[@user-yk6hi6of3k]

Is the IP coating the same as the black 42mm fliegers you had a while back? Really pleased you've done the black cases on these; they look great. Very decent price considering the watch comes with two straps.

[@WLVFX]

If you were to take the colour combination of the dial colour of the colourful PVD version and use it on a motorsport-themed dial or even an A-dial Flieger, you'd be onto a winner. The colour combination reminds me of retro car dashboards, it just looks so cool. A dial with bolder numbers would work so much better, as the B-dials just have smaller markers.

[@islandwatch]

Cool, thanks.

[@davect01]

That last one is the winner for me

[@islandwatch]

thanks.

[@driftkid222]

Ive always wanted an Islander wish you guys would make a watch that had red, white and green. I think I'd be have to buy one then.

[@islandwatch]

maybe one day.

[@richardtwyning]

Wow, when I saw a small image of these on instagram I thought they were going to be GMTs 😁 It was the little plane that did it.

[@islandwatch]

understood!

[@bartfloyd4538]

White Strap ❤❤❤

[@emm_arr]

Very nice. Shame I'm not in the market for any more watches at the mo.

[@islandwatch]

that is a shame!

[@trappedindc8678]

Nice. Hopefully they’re around after the Port Jeff GMT drops.

[@islandwatch]

:)

[@georgemole9790]

These are beautiful, and you've done a great job keeping the price down. But I'm concerned that the clasps only have two positions of micro-adjust. Three should be the minimum, and more is better. Other than that, these look awesome!

[@islandwatch]

thanks George, I understand the clasp concerns.

[@danieljones3683]

You are making it difficult to decide which one to get. I like all of them.

[@islandwatch]

awesome, thanks.

[@paulhiggins8774]

I like the blue one 🏆

[@islandwatch]

me too!

[@Gary-ib8dz]

I like the hour hand. I think it was longer before.

[@islandwatch]

it was!

[@ryanthorne5432]

I’m picking up Continental and Pam Am vibes from the livery variants.

[@islandwatch]

thank you, close. 50%

[@adk7962]

I think a Type A looks a little too plain which is why I think people prefer a Type B which has such a distinct look. Those colors are awesome. And that’s a hell of a value with two different straps and the fact you put a different strap with each color…. thanks!

[@islandwatch]

thank you

[@amirawadalla5866]

Hey Mark, Awesome new lineup. I'm a proud owner of a 42mm ISL-15. Got a question for you, will you be selling (or considering) separate cashbacks with a display window for other watches other than the 43mm divers, specifically the 42mm Fliegers? Though the NH35/36 is a simple movement, I'd say vendors underestimate how cool a display window is in any mechanical watch. Keep up the awesome work! PS - I LOVE the lume on the ISL-15!

[@islandwatch]

Sorry, not planning on this :(

[@stevenwymor1398]

Hmm…seems like labor costs to have the day/date mechanics removed from the NH36 would equal the added cost of the NH38 but without the ghost position plus you get quicker assembly with the NH38 since it’s ready to go as-is.

[@islandwatch]

good points, yes, but in reality not true on the costing

[@whit107]

Like the Pan Am blue just wish a white strap was not the choice here

[@timmolina9569]

I would like to buy service charts in order to turn them into wall art for my office. Any idea where they can be obtained?

[@user-yk6hi6of3k]

Would love an ISL-227 dial in a Black IP Case! ;-)

[@greamespens1460]

Numero uno

[@islandwatch]

nice!

[@robertkujawa9677]

Need a black one with the plane second hand.

[@islandwatch]

I wanted to keep it interesting for some, and plain for others. I do see your point.

[@Bob_Smith19]

How much more expensive is the NH38 at the wholesale level. Assuming it’s enough to effect margins. But retail price for it makes it worth it if you’re using a no date dial.

[@markboerner1233]

Marc, any chance we might see some Islanders with a California dial ?

[@islandwatch]

eventually

[@kristofferfast112]

I love the fat hour hand!

[@islandwatch]

me too!

[@pollem17]

I hope there will be an onion crown on the next version

[@garyz0611]

I have to ask. Just curious why only two micro adjustment holes? Definitely sharp looking watches.

[@islandwatch]

Just worked well with the bracelet, and kept the clasp short.

[@garyz0611]

Cool 👍

[@ahha6304]

Mork, those fliegers are seriously gorgeous! IF I haven't bunt my money on cosplay...

[@islandwatch]

thank you so much!!!!

[@CharlesAngelucci-sk8oz]

I would prefer at least on the military and Flieger inspired watches that you would incorporate Drilled Lugs, Just My preference. Nice Fliegers Though.

[@mountainhobo]

Since the fliegers were used by navigators on bombers, that plane on the seconds hand should be a B17 instead of the 737, but it would be hard to fit straight wings with 4 engines.

[@islandwatch]

that would be cool

[@Bonatno]

Is the bracelet available for sale?

[@islandwatch]

no, and it will not fit prior models.

[@generallost]

Sad no red

[@islandwatch]

sorry!

[@claudtalkz2194]

Verrrrry nice - no poo poo lol

[@islandwatch]

thank you

[@manuzach]

Cool fleigers! Why don’t you make a flieger with a gmt in it ? Wasn’t the whole point of gmt master for the pilots so why can’t fliegers have gmt ?

[@jacks3735]

I would genuinely pick one of these over a boring IWC, regardless of the cost.

[@islandwatch]

Wow, thanks!!!!

[@lavykhurana]

Confused either black or gold.

[@RobertRobert-zh2ez]

Type A dial please

[@islandwatch]

maybe next time.

[@briancolyer8483]

Nice fliegers....your well established now so why not use the correct movement, as a watch you know this would go down better....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚

[@islandwatch]

Just not always available at the price I want to bring to market at.

[@gregbrown4261]

You priced these right lol, I don't know if I'd have purchased if they were a smidgeon higher@@islandwatch

[@gregbrown4261]

/sigh/ checks out I didn't even think I *liked* B fliegers.

[@nicholasraschella427]

42+mm please

[@islandwatch]

noted

[@Colorado_Ronin]

Why didn’t you say the name of the airlines

[@islandwatch]

Because their names are trademarked and these products are not affiliated or licensed by the respective trademark holders.

[@Colorado_Ronin]

@@islandwatch So they can sue you for simply mentioning it? Weird

[@spuppy852]

Type B dial is really cool, but it's tough to make it work on wristwatches. Even my Laco 42mm is tough to read quickly sometimes; I think it really should be 45mm and up. At 39mm, I can't even imagine.

[@chickenporkadob0]

all the colourways looks more expensive than their price.

[@islandwatch]

thanks!

[@chrisprsnacct4322]

Okay, I’ve read every comment, what is the difference between an A and B dial?

[@islandwatch]

A dial is just hours, while the B dial puts hours on the inside, minutes on the outisde. ISL-14, A-dial. ISL-15, B-dial.

[@zambonidriver42]

You can scream if you want, but how about a bronze case and bracelet?

[@islandwatch]

it's fine, just a limited market and the minimum builds don't support it.

[@mountainjay]

I don't get how this makes sense, if you're going to use a plane icon it makes way more sense to put it on a GMT imo.

[@islandwatch]

I understand, but they are fliegers, so planes do work.

[@markinjhawkland724]

Nice watches but just FYI your website completely sucks on my laptop using Microsoft Edge. Cannot view the pictures of the watches without pop ups and other annoyting crap obstructicg the veiw. Looks way too much like a scammers site with all the extra carricular shit going on.

[@mountainhobo]

"Most people prefer B dial" - Not in my household. Too busy for old, astigmatic eyes. 🥸 It needs the original size of 55 mm. Typ A is clean and works on smaller watches.
