Product Details

The case of this model is made of bronze. As the watch is worn, oxidization causes the bronze to gradually discolor and develop a patina over time. The degree of oxidization varies depending on the frequency of wear and the environment it is worn in, so the aging process is unique to your individual circumstances. Due to the nature of the bronze material, there may be some oxidization upon delivery. Please be aware of this in advance. No returns will be accepted for this discoloration.

KUOE is a watch brand that was established in the historic Japanese city of Kyoto in 2020. The brand was created with the vision of appealing a classic design from Kyoto to the world. We want people from around the world to enjoy high-quality classic watches made in Japan.

What is the Swiss Super-Luminova?
Super-LumiNova is a brand name under which strontium aluminate-based non-radioactive and nontoxic photoluminescent or afterglow pigments for illuminating markings on watch dials, hands and bezels, etc. in the dark are marketed. This technology offers up to ten times higher brightness than previous zinc sulfide-based materials.Super-LumiNova is based on LumiNova pigments, invented in 1993 by Nemoto & Co., Ltd. of Japan as a safe replacement for radium-based luminous paints. Nemoto & Co. was founded in December 1941 as a luminous paint processing company and has supplied paint to the watch and clock industry for over 70 years.

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.

Brand Overview

Kuoe

Year Founded: 2020

Country of Origin: Japan

Kuoe is an independent watch brand based in Kyoto, Japan, drawing inspiration from vintage military and dress watches from the 1940s through 1970s. The brand has become especially well known for compact case sizes, warm design language, and approachable mechanical watches that wear exceptionally well on a wide range of wrists.

Why We Carry This Brand

We carry Kuoe because the brand captures a level of charm and restraint that is difficult to find today. The watches feel thoughtful, wearable, and deeply rooted in Japanese attention to detail. For many collectors, Kuoe is also a reminder that smaller watches can still feel incredibly special on the wrist.
