AT-40S Sports
The first Japan-made mechanical sports watch to meet the needs of modern times
In recent years, as business casual style has gained acceptance, Knot fans have been clamoring for a sports
model. This is the result: an authentic made-in-Japan mechanical watch with water resistance up to 20
ATM.
Boasting a case thickness of 11mm, the slim profile of the sports model fits well under the sleeve and
is suitable for wearing in business situations. Its beautiful mirror surface achieved through Sallaz polishing
brings a dignified look to the wrist, and is a perfect match for suit style despite being a sports
model.
From casual to business, this is a Japan-made mechanical sports model made for our times.
Water resistant to 20 ATM for use in a wide range of settings
The watch’s water resistance makes it wearable in more situations, including when working near water, swimming, surfing, and other water activities. The crown features a screw-lock mechanism to prevent water ingress, while a crown guard enhances robustness.
* “20 ATM” means water resistance up to 20 atmospheres. The watch it is not a diving model and cannot be
used for activities such as diving.
* The crown uses a screw-lock mechanism. Water resistance cannot be
ensured unless the crown is firmly tightened. Turn the crown firmly while gently pushing inward until the
crown stops.
Lights up continuously for five hours in the dark
Made with luminous paint manufactured by Nemoto
& Co. Ltd., the luminous pigment provider with the largest market share in the world

Ltd., a company that boasts a global market share of 80% and a domestic market share of almost 100% for luminous pigments. The world’s premiere luminous pigment, LumiNova® emits 10 times the brightness of conventional pigments and has more than 10 times the afterglow time. (Achieves 3mcd/m2, the standard for afterglow luminance visible in the dark after 5 hours)

Movement
For the movement – the watch’s beating heart – Knot has adopted the Cal.9015 high-beat movement from CITIZEN
MIYOTA, made in Japan. This high-beat movement oscillates 28,800 times per hour (8 times a second), reducing the
distance of the swing of the second hand and drastically increasing the precision of the watch.
The Cal.9015
is a thin, high performance 8-beat movement, and the first mechanical movement to be revived by MIYOTA in 30
years. It has a thickness of just 3.9mm. The transparent back cover of the watch case allows the wearer to see
the constant motion of the internal mechanical movement with their own eyes.
Sapphire glass
The crystal utilizes the same sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating found in luxury watches. The coating is on the inside of the glass, which increases the visibility of the watch face.
