Old Smith 90-002 Bronze Case Brown Dial No-Date Watch

The Watch

Kuoe creations celebrate the brand's craftsmanship and make a statement through their aesthetic. Founded in the historic Japanese city of Kyoto in 2020, the manufacture's mission is to bring Kyoto's classic design to the world. Its models are as elegant as they are high-performing, reflecting a commitment to excellence and unparalleled expertise. This is beautifully embodied in the Old Smith 90-002 Bronze Case Brown Dial No-Date, a timepiece that seduces with its refinement and individuality. Crafted from brushed CuSn8 bronze, its round case measures 35.00 mm in diameter, 12.35 mm in thickness, and 42 mm lug-to-lug. It sits perfectly on men's wrists and delivers a modern, confident look. The screw-down crown at 3 o'clock adjusts the dial indicators and features a knurled profile for a better grip. The dial is protected by a domed sapphire crystal that guards against daily shocks and scratches, while its anti-reflective coating ensures perfect legibility from every angle. Finally, the screw-down caseback is crafted from 316L stainless steel and guarantees water resistance to 10 ATM.

The Dial

Radiating undeniable charm, this stunning dial will captivate you first and foremost with its rich brown color and sandblasted finish that set it apart from the crowd. It offers a clear, easy-to-read time display while lending the piece a genuine sense of authenticity. White Arabic numeral indexes serve as hour markers, surrounding the two main hands and the seconds hand, all featuring a PVD coating for a sharper, more refined look. These three brown-toned hands indicate the hours, minutes, and seconds, and are coated with Superluminova, as are the geometric indexes that accent the Arabic numerals. This luminescent treatment ensures readability in low-light conditions, and for precise minute-by-minute reading, the dial edge features a minute track. The brand signs its creation with its name at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This beautiful timepiece is powered by a Japanese-made automatic movement - the TMI caliber NH38. Measuring 27.40 mm in diameter and 5.32 mm in height, this high-performance movement is fitted with 24 jewels and beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz). It operates with exceptional accuracy of -20 to +40 seconds/day on average and delivers a power reserve of 41 hours, driving the hands smoothly for precise display of hours, minutes, and seconds.

The Strap

Fall for this gorgeous textured nylon strap. It blends khaki and beige in perfect harmony for a truly unique look. Clean and understated, it pairs effortlessly with any outfit and fastens securely with a PVD-coated pin buckle. The lug width is 18 mm, and it fits wrist sizes from 140 mm to 195 mm.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 100 meters - or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this bold-looking timepiece is equally at home at a black-tie event and in the water. Wear it in the shower, the bath, or the pool, even during vigorous swim sessions. That said, our team of watch experts wants to be clear: this model is not designed for scuba or freediving, and should not be used near high-pressure water jets. Remember: showers, baths, and swimming only - and never operate the pushers or crown while submerged.
