Founded with the ambition of fusing Japan's traditional heritage with modern watchmaking technology, the brand creates timepieces that celebrate the artistry of Japanese craft while delivering uncompromising precision. Discover within the Royal Smith collection a stunning vintage-inspired automatic watch. It features a silver-toned case crafted in polished and brushed 316L stainless steel. Round in shape, it measures 35 mm in diameter, 43 mm in lug-to-lug length, and 13.50 mm in thickness - dimensions perfectly suited to both men's and women's wrists. A domed sapphire crystal with an anti-fingerprint coating protects the dial from external shocks. It also features an anti-reflective treatment that enhances legibility in bright lighting. At 2 and 3 o'clock, a crown pusher and a knurled crown make it easy to set the hands, counters, and date. Finally, this watch comes with a steel case back featuring a golden Kuoe Kyoto medallion.

The Dial

This ivory-toned dial features a vertically brushed background finish. Its outer edge is lined with a minute track on a black band. Complemented by golden Arabic numerals, they are swept over by two golden leaf hands and a seconds hand that indicate the hours, minutes, and seconds. This dial features two black sub-dials reminiscent of a panda's face. They display the months of the year and the days of the week. At 6 o'clock, a window displays the date day by day. Finally, the brand name is signed at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

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

The Strap

Kuoe Kyoto presents this model with a flat link bracelet in a silver tone. Crafted in 316L stainless steel, it features brushed and polished links for a sophisticated look. This bracelet adjusts between 14 cm and 21 cm in length and fastens effortlessly with a deployment clasp. Its lug width is 18 mm. A second brown Italian calfskin leather strap is included with the watch.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, equivalent to 50 meters, this watch is a great introduction to the world of water resistance. While it is not designed for bathing, competitive swimming, or scuba diving, you can comfortably wear it in the shower without worry. That said, our experts recommend keeping this timepiece dry to preserve its movement for years to come.
