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

The Watch

Kuoe's creations celebrate its craftsmanship and make a statement through their aesthetic. Founded in the historic Japanese city of Kyoto in 2020, the brand's mission is to bring Kyoto's classic design to the world. Its models are both elegant and high-performing, reflecting its expertise with every detail. This magnificent watch, the Old Smith 90-002 Bronze Case Brown Dial No-Date, captivates with its refinement and unique character. Its round case, crafted from CuSn8 bronze with a brushed finish, measures 35.00 mm in diameter, 12.95 mm in thickness, and 42 mm in lug-to-lug length. It sits perfectly on men's wrists and delivers a modern look. The screw-down crown at 3 o'clock lets you set the dial's indicators, and its knurled design offers a secure grip during adjustment. The dial is protected by a domed sapphire crystal that shields it from everyday shocks and damage. Its anti-reflective treatment ensures perfect legibility of the indicators from any angle. Finally, the screw-down case back is made from 316L stainless steel and guarantees water resistance to 10 ATM.

The Dial

Exuding undeniable charm, this stunning dial will win you over first with its brown color and sandblasted finish that sets it apart. It delivers clear time reading and lends the model 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 more refined look. These three brown-toned hands display the hours, minutes, and seconds and are coated with Superluminova, as are the geometric indexes that punctuate the Arabic numerals. This luminescent treatment ensures legibility in low-light conditions, and for minute-precise reading, the bezel reveals a minute track. Finally, the brand places its name as a signature at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This stunning model is powered by a Japanese automatic movement - specifically the NH38 caliber from TMI. It measures 27.40 mm in diameter with a height of 5.32 mm. Fitted with 24 jewels, this high-performance movement beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz), operates with extreme precision of -20 to +40 seconds/day on average, and delivers a power reserve of 41 hours. It will drive the hands with fluid precision for accurate display of hours, minutes, and seconds.

The Strap

Fall for this gorgeous nylon strap with its textured look. It pairs khaki and beige beautifully for a one-of-a-kind result. Clean and understated, it complements any outfit and fastens securely with its PVD-coated pin buckle. The lug width measures 18 mm and it fits wrist sizes between 140 mm and 195 mm.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 100 meters, or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms, this bold timepiece performs just as well at a black-tie event as it does in the water. You can confidently wear it in the shower, the bath, or while swimming - even at a vigorous pace. That said, our team of watchmaking experts wants to make clear that this model is not designed for scuba diving, freediving, or use with high-pressure water jets. Remember: showers, baths, and swimming only - and keep the crown and pushers clear of the water!
