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

The Watch

Kuoe is a Japanese watch brand founded in 2020 in the historic city of Kyoto. With an innovative spirit and a unique know-how, it has firmly established itself in the world of watchmaking. Its refined and reliable creations are recognizable by their delicate finishes and vibrant tones - as demonstrated by this stunning Old Smith Bronze Case Black Dial No-Date that is sure to turn heads. Its retro-chic design is defined by a sleek silhouette and perfectly executed lines. The CuSn8 bronze case captivates with its brushed finish. It measures 35 mm in diameter, 12 mm in thickness, and 42 mm lug-to-lug. Perfect for men, it pairs effortlessly with any outfit. A sapphire crystal sits over the dial, protecting it from shocks and damage, while an anti-reflective coating ensures excellent legibility. The functions are adjusted via the screw-down crown at 3 o'clock, featuring a knurled texture for easy grip. Finally, the watch features a screw-down caseback in 316L stainless steel that guarantees a water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

The dial of this beautiful watch creates a stunning contrast with the rest of the composition. Draped in black, it lends the whole piece a smooth, sophisticated character. Minimalist by design, it displays only the essentials in a clean, streamlined layout. Its indexes are rendered as Arabic numerals, while the perimeter features a minute track and geometric indexes treated with Superluminova for greater precision. Hours and minutes are delivered by two large hands, with the seconds indicated by a paddle-type seconds hand. Finished with a PVD treatment and coated in Superluminova, they ensure clear time-reading in low-light conditions. To complete the dial's charm, the brand signs its name at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This model is powered by a Japanese automatic movement. The TMI NH38 caliber - measuring 27.40 mm in diameter and 5.32 mm in height - drives the central elements with efficiency. Ultra-precise, it features 24 jewels and beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz). With an accuracy of -20 to +40 seconds/day on average, it delivers reliable timekeeping and offers a power reserve of 41 hours.

The Strap

Carefully crafted, this watch's strap is made of nylon with a textured finish. Stylish and distinctive, it sports a two-tone khaki and beige colorway for a unique look that complements any outfit with chic, urban flair. The lug width measures 18 mm and the strap fits wrists between 140 mm and 195 mm. It fastens securely with a PVD-coated pin buckle.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters - this is a genuinely water-resistant timepiece. Ready to dive into aquatic adventures with you, it handles everything from puddles to the swimming pool without complaint. Showers, baths, and laps in the pool? No problem. That said, our Ocarat watch experts want you to know that while this model is water-resistant, it is not suited for professional or recreational diving, and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend avoiding operating the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged.
