About this entry

87% of key specs known. Missing: hardening, bracelet offered.

KUOE's second model, first crowdfunded on Makuake; styled on 1940s-70s British military watches. Brand spec table: automatic with hand winding and hacking, 35 x 35 x 12.35mm (excluding lugs and crown), 18mm lugs, 16mm buckle, 10 bar, screw-down crown, domed sapphire with AR coating, Swiss Super-LumiNova on hands and dial, 316L case polished on purpose. The brand's spec line reads 'TMI Cal. NH35A/38A'; the listings are the no-date version (SKU 'nd', calendar option 'none') and Long Island Watch lists the NH38 (no date), so NH38 is recorded. Lug-to-lug (42mm), solid caseback and weight (54g, on the nylon strap) are from Long Island Watch. Strap options at one price: black + khaki nylon, or Italian leather (brown, black, tan); the materials line also mentions a 316L bracelet but none is offered on the current listings, so bracelet is left blank. Long Island Watch also sells a navy-dial version (os90002-nd-nv) that KUOE's store no longer lists.
