The OLD SMITH 90-009 was designed based on the wristwatch used by the British Army during World War II, known as the "Dirty Dozen." It uses CITIZEN MIYOTA's Japanese-made "Cal.82s5" movement, faithfully reproducing the design of the period.
The watch itself has a 35mm case. Slightly smaller than what is popular these days, it faithfully recreates the size of the original and is a size that works on wrists of all sizes.

The hour hand, minutes hand, and second hand feature a hairline finish with a matte texture. The minutes hand has a "curved hand design," in which the tip is curved to match the shape of the glass. The hour and minute hands are made with Swiss-made Super-LumiNova®. When exposed to light, they emit a strong luminescence in the dark.

The dial of this model has a two-layer structure. The first layer has a fine matte finish, recreating the atmosphere of a rugged military watch. The railway track and Arabic numerals on the outer edge of the dial are applied on top of the first layer, creating a three-dimensional design. Despite its small size, the overall design has a strong presence.

What is the Italian Leather?
It is self-explanatory - the leather is manufactured in Italy. Italian leather is one of the three most popular leathers in the world, along with "bridle leather" from the U.K. and "cordovan" from the U.S.It is a high-priced leather used not only for watch bands but also for bags, wallets, shoes, and even car interiors, among many other products. Its beautiful appearance and long-lasting durability are highly valued in the fashion and design fields. Tanning methods are naturally derived from vegetable-based raw materials. As a result, Italian leather is very strong, resilient, and smooth.
In addition, since the leather is "oiled leather" that has been soaked in plenty of oil during the tanning process, the oil that has permeated the leather will dissolve as it is used, gradually increasing the luster of the leather. One of the charms of this leather is that you can enjoy the change of its feel and color over time.
Have you scratched the surface of the leather? No need to be worried. Rubbing with your finger or nail will dissolve the oil soaked into the leather and make it less noticeable.
