The Watch

Since its founding in 2020, young watchmaking brand Kuoe has been turning heads with minimalist, sophisticated, and elegantly on-trend watches inspired by the past - keeping Japanese craftsmanship alive in every piece. Each timepiece revisits a vintage-era design through a distinctly modern lens, making it a true delight for lovers of vintage horology. This stunning Old Smith 90-002 Automatic Ivory watch is designed to look incredible on both men's and women's wrists, giving its wearer an effortlessly sport-chic, vintage-distinguished edge. Conceived for city adventures and special occasions alike, it's the refined, modern addition that elevates every outfit - from formal to casual. Once on the wrist, its slimness and contemporary military-inspired design, rooted in the aesthetic of the 1940s-1970s, will leave you genuinely smitten. It features a round case in 316L stainless steel, measuring 35 mm in diameter, 42 mm lug to lug, and 12 mm thick - dimensions crafted for a comfortable, pleasant wearing experience. Its beautiful polished finish gives the watch a luminous, radiant quality that perfectly highlights its silver tone. A domed sapphire crystal sits over the dial, and a gray crown is positioned at 3 o'clock. Screwed and knurled, it makes setting the hours and minutes effortless. Finally, the screwed caseback ensures water resistance to 10 bar.

The Dial

This round dial with its textured finish brings a refined elegance to the watch, subtly reinforcing its vintage charm. Its grainy base is dressed in a striking cream tone that adds a touch of understated sophistication, contrasting beautifully with the gray and black time markers delicately arranged across the dial. At the center, two sword hands and a slender gray "Lollipop" seconds hand sweep smoothly to indicate hours, minutes, and seconds. They point to twelve black Arabic numeral markers for quick and easy hour recognition, surrounded by a classic minute track graduated in the traditional style with rectangles and dots every 5 minutes. Like the hands, the markers feature a SuperLuminova treatment in Old Radium, delivering solid nighttime legibility while underlining the watch's vintage character. The brand signs its name at 12 o'clock, with the inscriptions "Mechanical" and "Japan Made" at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

A Japanese automatic movement brings the hands of this watch to life with smooth, reliable precision. Made by TMI, it's specifically the NH38 caliber - renowned for its exceptional quality and rock-solid reliability - that powers accurate timekeeping in any situation. Equipped with 24 jewels, the Diashock anti-shock system, and a stop-seconds device, this mechanism beats at 21,600 vph (3 Hz) and delivers a power reserve of 41 hours.

The Strap

This watch is paired with two NATO straps - both refined and modern - letting you effortlessly switch up your look every day. Crafted from nylon with a braided design that adds to their charm, the first strap comes in a clean black, while the second sports a rugged khaki tone. Each one lends the watch a distinctive, eye-catching character while keeping your wrist comfortable throughout the day. Easily interchangeable, they add a sporty yet refined touch to any outfit. They feature a lug width of 18 mm and an adjustable length from 14 to 19.50 cm. Each strap is fitted with a pin buckle in 316L stainless steel for secure, effortless wear all day long. The loops are crafted from brown calfskin leather for a beautiful finishing touch.

Water Resistance

With water resistance to 100 meters - or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this bold timepiece is just as at home at a black-tie gala as it is in the water. Wear it in the shower, the bath, or during active swims with complete confidence. That said, our team of watch experts wants to be clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving (freediving or tank diving) or use with high-pressure cleaning equipment. Remember: shower, bath, and swimming only - and never operate the pushers or crown while submerged.
