Old Smith 90-002 | Ivory | Sapphire | Super-LumiNova

Introducing KUOE's Old Smith 90-002, a distinctively popular model from the Kyoto-based watch brand. With its roots grounded in the classic aesthetics of the historic city, this timepiece radiates the finesse of Japanese craftsmanship. Inspired by the robust design of British military watches from the 1940s to the 70s, the Old Smith 90-002 boasts a smaller 35 mm diameter, a feature rarely seen in modern automatic watches. The dial embodies thick Arabic numerals and hands, accentuated by light orange fluorescent paint and a matte finish, all encapsulated within an elegantly polished stainless steel body.

This automatic watch, equipped with hand-winding and hacking capabilities, uses the reliable Seiko Japanese Movement, Cal. NH38 (Japan). Its domed sapphire glass comes with an AR coating to enhance legibility under various lighting conditions. The watch is made robust with a screw-down crown, offering water resistance up to 10 ATM. It has a power reserve of approximately 41 hours, ensuring consistent timekeeping even off the wrist. For low light situations, the Super-LumiNova luminous hands and dial glow in the dark after exposure to strong light, making this watch a perfect blend of durability, elegance, and utility.
