The Watch

By blending Western watchmaking expertise with Japanese craftsmanship, Kuoe Kyoto delivers a unique watch experience - perfect for those who want beauty, refinement, and technical performance in one. Founded with the ambition of merging Japan's traditional heritage with modern watchmaking technology, the brand creates timepieces that celebrate Japanese artisanal beauty while delivering uncompromising precision. From the Royal Smith collection, discover a stunning automatic watch with a vintage soul. 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 lug-to-lug, and 13 mm in thickness - proportions that suit both men's and women's wrists equally well. A domed sapphire crystal with anti-fingerprint coating shields the dial from external shocks, while an anti-reflective treatment improves legibility under bright light. At 2 and 3 o'clock, a winding button and a notched crown allow easy adjustment of the hands, counters, and date. The watch is completed by a steel caseback featuring a gold-toned Kuoe Kyoto medallion.

The Dial

This ivory dial features a vertically brushed background. Its perimeter is bordered by a minute railway on a black band. Alongside gold Arabic numerals, two gold leaf hands and a seconds hand sweep across the dial to display the hours, minutes, and seconds. The dial incorporates two black sub-dials evoking the face of a panda, indicating the month of the year and the day of the week. At 6 o'clock, a date window displays the date day by day. To finish, the brand name is displayed at 12 o'clock as a signature.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Japanese-made automatic movement - specifically the Miyota 9122 caliber with 26 jewels, driving all the various indicators. It offers a 40-hour power reserve and features a stop-seconds mechanism, beating at an oscillation frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.

The Bracelet

Kuoe Kyoto pairs this model with a flat link bracelet in a sleek silver tone. Crafted in 316L stainless steel, it combines brushed and polished links for a refined finish. The bracelet adjusts between 14 cm and 21 cm in length and fastens effortlessly with a deployment clasp. Lug width is 18 mm. A second strap in brown Italian calf leather is included with the watch.

Water Resistance

At 5 atmospheres of water resistance - 50 meters - this watch offers an entry-level splash resistance. While it's not built for bathing, sport swimming, or diving, you can safely forget to take it off in the shower. That said, our experts recommend keeping this timepiece dry whenever possible to protect its movement for years to come.
