Best KUOE Watch OLD SMITH 90-002 Automatic – Ivory Dial Tan Strap with Date

OLD SMITH 90-002 is a popular model that attracted attention after successfully raising over 13 million yen on the crowdfunding site, Makuake. It is a classic automatic military watch inspired by British military watches from 1940-1970’s. The thick Arabic numerals and hour and minute hands with an emphasis on visibility, the orange-tinged luminescent paint with a vintage feel, and the matte dial with an uneven satin finish reproduce the design of the time. Furthermore, the case size is small at 35mm. In addition, the stainless steel body is intentionally polished to add elegance to the ruggedness.
