KUOE KYOTO WATCH: SOMBRERO 90-011 BLACK LINEN

The KUOE Sombrero 90-011 Lin Noir is the Japanese brand's first dive watch, designed with a revisited retro aesthetic. Its 38mm compressor case features a black dial with a "linen" finish, adding structure and detail to the otherwise matte black.

Its automatic Miyota 9039 movement (no date, 28,800 A/h, ~41 h power reserve), its screw-down crown, the domed sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective/anti-fingerprint treatment and its Super-LumiNova luminescent hands and indices complete this picture of a solid tool watch.

Waterproof up to 20 bar (200 m) , magnetic case, adjustable internal bezel (crown at 2 o'clock) locked out of water, the Sombrero combines everyday versatility and vintage DNA.
