The no-date variant of the NH35 platform, eliminating the date complication entirely for clean dial designs without a date window. Identical in every other specification to the NH35 and NH36 siblings. Popular with modders and microbrands building minimalist or pilot-style watches where a dateless dial is preferred. The absence of the date mechanism simplifies the movement slightly but does not affect height.

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise the Islander Thunderbolt Pilot Watch with Black Mother of Pearl Dial #ISL-322 for its gorgeous black mother-of-pearl dial that pops with color and its distinct bead-blasted case finishing. The $375 price is also noted as a strong value for a true MOP watch. Some owners find the dial text font ugly and the mother-of-pearl less suited for a tool watch, while others consider the Islander logo an eyesore. The watch features a Seiko NH38 automatic movement, 100m water resistance, and a 40mm case, with a distinct H-link bracelet and quick-adjust clasp. Overall, owners rate the Islander Thunderbolt Pilot Watch with Black Mother of Pearl Dial #ISL-322 highly for its striking mother-of-pearl dial and excellent finishing at its price point.
