1940s-style cushion-case dress watch with hand-applied Breguet numerals on a textured dial; all parts tooled for this model and assembled in KUOE's Kyoto workshop. Brand spec table: Miyota 9039 automatic with hand winding and hacking, domed sapphire with AR coating, sapphire display back with AR coating, 5 bar, 34 x 34 x 10.85mm (excluding lugs and crown), 18mm lugs, 316L case. Leather versions come with a spare strap; the silver-case versions are also sold on a 316L bracelet (JPY 6,300 more; construction not stated). The gold case is steel coloured gold (method not stated). Lug-to-lug (41mm) is from Long Island Watch; its 75g weight on leather is out of line with its 47g for the larger Royal Smith 90-006, so it is not recorded. Lume is not stated. The Gold Case, Gold Numerals listing was sold out. KUOE cites a Power Watch feature (October 2022), which was down for maintenance when checked.
