The dial colour is inspired by the mossy gardens of the Hokuriku region of Japan. The gold-coloured second hand represents sunlight piercing through the trees, creating a scene of dramatic natural beauty. The deep, glossy green dial, characteristic of lacquer, was crafted under the supervision of lacquer artist Isshu Tamura.
The case has a clean form that enhances the beauty of the urushi lacquer dial. With the dual-curved sapphire crystal, the watch has a slimmer appearance on the wrist than many previous creations in the series.
The strap is made of leather produced by a tannery certified by the LWG (Leather Working Group).
The Leather Working Group (LWG) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to responsibly made, sustainable leather production. Since 2005, LWG has designed standards to certify all actors in the supply chain.
