The traditional Japanese color "Misorairo" is used for the dial
There are various theories about the origin of the name "Wako," but one theory is that it was named in hopes of an era of peace. Inspired by this, the blue sky, a symbol of peace, is depicted on the dial in the traditional Japanese color "Misorairo." Misorairo is a complimentary term for the sky, and is a bright, clear blue like an autumn sky, calming the soul every time you gaze upon it.
Another key feature is the embossed pattern that depicts scale clouds, a symbol of the arrival of autumn, hanging over a clear, blue autumn sky. The dial gives a three-dimensional feel of the refreshing blue autumn sky.

Case back
Design commemorating Wako's 75th anniversary
2022 marks the 75th anniversary of Wako's founding. This is also expressed in a subtle design on the dial. The GMT hand and the 7 and 5 digits in the GMT notation are pink gold, evoking the soft autumn sunlight, creating a beautiful contrast. In addition to the lion emblem, the case back is printed with the words "WAKO 75th ANNIVERSARY LIMITED COLLECTION," giving it a special feel that is only available this year.
