Description
⚠️ Please Note
- The bronze case will naturally oxidize and change color over time with wear. The degree of aging varies depending on frequency of use and environment — this is an intended characteristic of the material, not a defect. Some oxidation may already be visible upon arrival.
KUOE Old Smith 90-002 Bronze Automatic Watch
✨ Overview
The KUOE Old Smith 90-002 is a classic automatic military watch inspired by British military timepieces of the 1940s–1970s, featuring a distinctive bronze case that develops a unique vintage patina with wear. Funded by over 13 million yen through crowdfunding, this second model from KUOE captures the spirit of vintage military horology with modern craftsmanship.
⭐ Key Features
- 🟤 Living Bronze Case: CuSn8 bronze oxidizes naturally over time, giving each watch a one-of-a-kind vintage appearance unique to its owner

- 🌙 Super-LumiNova Luminescence: Applied to both hands and dial for reliable low-light legibility with a vintage lume character
- 💎 Dome Sapphire Crystal: AR (anti-reflective) and AF (anti-fingerprint) coatings for exceptional clarity and scratch resistance
