Royal Smith 90-010 Automatic Panda x Grainy Finish Dial Watch rs90010-pa-grainy

The Watch

Kuoe Kyoto designs collections that are a heartfelt tribute to Japanese aesthetics, blending simplicity and sophistication. Inspired by the principles of Japanese design - such as "iki" (understated elegance) and "wabi-sabi" (the beauty of imperfection) - the brand's watches feature clean lines and subtle details that catch the light in a uniquely captivating way. Each model strikes a perfect balance between modernity and tradition, with delicately colored dials and carefully chosen metal or mother-of-pearl indices that highlight the timeless beauty of passing time. From its Royal Smith collection, Kuoe Kyoto presents this beautiful automatic watch, designed for both men and women. It features a silver-toned case crafted from 316L stainless steel with polished and brushed finishing that enhances its charm with quiet elegance. Round in shape, it measures 35 mm in diameter, 43 mm in lug-to-lug length, and 13 mm thick. The case is topped with an anti-fingerprint domed sapphire crystal that protects the dial from everyday impacts, while its anti-reflective coating improves legibility in bright light. The winding button and knurled crown at 2 and 3 o'clock allow you to set the hands, sub-dials, and date. Finally, this timepiece ships with two caseback options for water resistance of 5 ATM: a screw-secured caseback and a screw-secured transparent caseback with a sapphire crystal offering a clear view of the movement.

The Dial

This ivory dial features a sandblasted finishing that gives it a grainy texture. The perimeter is traced by a minute railroad followed by gold Arabic numerals. This panda dial features two black sub-dials evoking the face of a panda. These display the month and the days of the week. At the center, two gold leaf hands and a seconds hand display the hours, minutes, and seconds. The date window is positioned at 6 o'clock. Finally, the brand name is placed at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This model is powered by an automatic movement of Japanese origin - specifically the Miyota 9122 caliber, which drives all the indicators. This mechanism features 26 jewels and offers a power reserve of 40 hours. It beats at an oscillation frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and includes a stop-seconds device.

The Bracelet

This watch features a 316L stainless steel bracelet in silver with brushed and polished finishing. The timepiece comes with a second strap in brown bovine leather. Both are fitted with a deployant clasp and share a lug width of 18 mm.

Water Resistance

With water resistance of 5 atmospheres, equivalent to 50 meters, this watch is a solid entry into the world of water-resistant timepieces. While it's not built for baths, serious swimming, or diving, you can comfortably forget to take it off in the shower. That said, all of our professionals recommend keeping this timepiece dry whenever possible to preserve the movement.
