KNIS RETRO MODERN Watch
A retro-modern Japanese watch that combines classic elements and vintage inspiration with contemporary design and technology.
Adopts the traditional double-layered "sandwich dial" dial and the "Cobra hands" often used in military and pilot watches from the 1940s. The sand beige Super Luminova applied to the indexes and hour and minute hands creates a retro atmosphere.

Sandwich dial

The double-layered dial "sandwich dial" has a structure in which two dials, the upper and lower, are stacked on top of each other. The upper dial has cut-out index and number markers, and the luminous material "Super-LumiNova" on the lower dial can be seen through the cut-outs.

Adopts Swiss-made "Super Luminova"

Swiss-made Super-LumiNova is a material that offers superior visibility, long-lasting luminescence, durability, and environmental friendliness compared to typical luminous paints. It absorbs and stores light, allowing it to shine brightly for long periods of time in darkened environments. You can clearly see the time and hands even at night or in low-light environments, and it has the property of continuing to emit light for a longer period of time than other phosphorescent materials.

Adopts classic "cobra needle"
The so-called "cobra needle", whose needle tip is shaped like a cobra, faithfully reproduces the design from the 1940s. The combination with Super Luminova, a sandy beige color with a retro feel, goes perfectly. It has the atmosphere of an elegant antique watch.

The movement is made by Citizen MIYOTA.
The use of a Japanese-made movement with high precision and reliability reflects the brand concept of wanting the product to be used for many years to come. In the unlikely event that a movement malfunction occurs, it is easy to secure parts and you can rest assured about the after-sales service.

Adopts sapphire glass

Sapphire glass is a highly pure and sophisticated glass used for the windshield of luxury watches and for optical experiments. Its excellent transparency makes the dial easier to see, and it is much more scratch resistant than mineral crystal glass.

High quality genuine leather belt

The belt is made of high-quality genuine cowhide leather with a crocodile pattern. As you use it, it will become more flavorful.

Practical and high quality D buckle strap

The double door type D buckle has a beautiful appearance and a luxurious feel. Equipped with a D buckle, which is only used on leather straps for luxury watches, minimizes damage to the strap when putting it on and taking it off, and prevents it from slipping off.

Case size is 38mm

We selected a 38mm case diameter, opting for a smaller size compared to many brands that offer models with larger faces. Our emphasis was on achieving a balanced design, ensuring the dial is neither too large nor too small while maintaining a strong presence.

Design that can be used both on and off

The simple design makes it suitable for both business and casual styles.
A timeless and sophisticated face that naturally blends into your style.
It is sure to be a piece that you can use for a long time, regardless of trends.
The beautiful and elegant design will make your wrist look stylish.

Care & Maintenance

To keep your watch performing at its best, we recommend avoiding strong impacts, extreme temperatures, and prolonged exposure to moisture unless your watch is designed for water activities. After exposure to salt water, rinse the watch gently with fresh water and dry with a soft cloth.

For mechanical watches, regular wear helps keep the movement running smoothly. If the watch is not worn often, manual winding may be needed depending on the model. Quartz watches may require battery replacement over time.

Leather straps should be kept away from excessive water and humidity to preserve their appearance and longevity.

Because care recommendations can vary by brand and model, please refer to the manufacturer manual included with your watch for detailed operating instructions, water resistance guidelines, and service intervals.
