KUOE Royal Smith 90-012 green: a compact automatic chronograph with vintage ambition

The ROYAL SMITH 90-012 is KUOE's first automatic chronograph, and the green dial introduced May 29 has become one of its most distinctive combinations. The vintage-inspired display layers fine grain textures and different brushed finishes, with polished Breguet numerals and two silver subdials adding contrast. A discreet date window at six completes the composition.

KUOE makes this visually elaborate watch surprisingly compact in width, at 37mm, though its 14.3mm depth reveals the complexity within. The Japanese-made TMI NE86A automatic operates a 30-minute chronograph and beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour. Its 45-hour power reserve and classic bicompax subdial configuration turn a niche design into a mechanically serious everyday watch.

The green version arrived alongside Panda and Grey dials in the late-May 2026 range expansion. Domed sapphire with both anti-reflective and anti-fingerprint coatings, 5-bar water resistance and a steel bracelet with tool-free adjustment finish the package. KUOE's global listing quotes US$1,780, subject to market and tax differences.
