Inspired by mid-century British military and field watches, the Kuoe Kyoto Old Smith 90‑002 collection embodies a refined take on rugged reliability. Blending minimalism with vintage aesthetics, this series was designed for everyday wear with subtle character and charm. Whether you gravitate toward aged bronze or classic steel, each piece brings timeless proportions and thoughtful craftsmanship to the wrist.

Each model features a domed sapphire crystal, luminous hands and indices for low-light visibility, and a compact silhouette that’s easy to wear across a variety of wrists. At 38mm, the watches feel period-correct while remaining practical for today’s lifestyle. The screw-down crown and caseback offer solid water resistance, ensuring this timepiece doesn’t just look the part—it plays it, too.

All three watches in the series are powered by the TMI (Seiko) Cal. NH38 automatic movement, offering reliable, time-only operation without a date complication. It’s a dependable engine known for its durability and ease of servicing, perfectly complementing the tool-forward design ethos of the 90‑002. Whether you're drawn to the evolving patina of bronze or the clean finish of steel, the 90‑002 captures vintage inspiration with everyday versatility.

About Kuoe Kyoto

Founded in 2020 in the historic city of Kyoto, Kuoe is a Japanese watch brand dedicated to reviving the charm of vintage timepieces with a contemporary sensibility. Inspired by founder Uchimura’s early encounters with antique hand-wound watches in London, Kuoe embraces the warmth and timelessness of mid-20th-century design while reinterpreting it for today’s wearer. After refining his craft within a local watch company, Uchimura launched Kuoe with the release of the Old Smith 90-001, a model that encapsulates the brand’s mission: to share Kyoto’s refined aesthetics and enduring traditions through thoughtfully crafted watches that balance heritage and modernity.
