Old Smith 90-002 - Automatic Navy Dial/Silver Case/Nylon Straps
The Old Smith 90-002 has roots in history and a story of its own. First launched through crowdfunding in Japan where it raised over 13 million yen, the model has remained a best seller thanks to its mix of military heritage and everyday wearability. Inspired by British field watches from the 1940s through the 1970s, the dial is finished matte for clarity, with bold numerals and broad hands painted in orange-tinted lume for visibility. In the current revision, KUOE upgraded the lume to Swiss Super-LumiNova Old Radium, glowing longer and brighter in low light. The stainless steel case balances rugged build with polished refinement, and the watch is powered by the reliable Japanese NH35/38 automatic movement with hacking function and a 40-hour power reserve. Hand-assembled by KUOE’s watchmakers in Kyoto, each piece is offered on nylon, Italian leather, or a beads of rice bracelet for versatility.
