Kuoe Kyoto / Royal Smith

Royal Smith 90-012

RS90012-NV · Navy

Breguet numerals and a layered navy dial give Kyoto’s compact automatic chronograph a vintage voice.

Kuoe’s first automatic chronograph combines a Japanese column-wheel movement with a 37 mm steel case. This earlier release remains in the current catalog. The linked hands-on examines several dial versions and discusses the substantial 14.3 mm thickness.
