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

The Watch

Kuoe Kyoto offers collections that are a true 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 capture light in a unique way. Each model strikes a perfect balance between modernity and tradition, with dials in delicate colors and metal or mother-of-pearl indexes, carefully chosen to highlight the timeless beauty of passing time. Kuoe Kyoto presents this stunning automatic watch from the Royal Smith collection, suited for both men and women. It features a silver-tone case crafted from 316L stainless steel with polished and brushed finishes that enhance its elegance. Round in shape, it measures 35 mm in diameter, 43 mm in lug-to-lug length, and 13.50 mm in thickness. A domed sapphire crystal with anti-fingerprint coating protects the dial from external shocks, while its anti-reflective treatment improves legibility in bright light. The push button and screw-down crown at 2 and 3 o'clock allow you to set the hands, sub-dials, and date. Finally, this timepiece is offered with two case backs providing 5 ATM water resistance: a screw-down case back and a screw-down transparent case back with a sapphire crystal offering a clear view of the movement.

The Dial

This ivory dial features a sandblasted finish that gives it a grained texture. Its perimeter is lined with a minute track followed by gilded Arabic numerals. This panda dial features two black sub-dials evoking the face of a panda. These display the months and days of the week. At the center, two gilded leaf hands and a seconds hand indicate the hours, minutes, and seconds. The date window is positioned at 6 o'clock. The brand name is displayed at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This model is powered by a Japanese automatic movement - specifically the Miyota 9122 caliber, which drives all the indicators. This mechanism features 26 jewels and delivers 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 Strap

This watch features a 316L stainless steel bracelet in silver with brushed and polished finishes. The timepiece comes with a second bracelet in brown bovine leather. Both feature a deployment clasp for easy use, with a lug width of 18 mm.

Water Resistance

With 5 atmospheres of water resistance - equivalent to 50 meters - this watch is a solid first step into water-resistant timepieces. While it's not designed for bathing, swimming, or diving, you can safely forget to take it off in the shower. That said, our experts strongly recommend keeping this timepiece dry to preserve its movement.
