The result is a wonderfully expressive dial featuring two shades of blue: the open sky in which the eagle soars and the darker expanse of the sea below. The Citizen Chronomaster HAQ AQ4030-51L with Blue Washi Dial. Comes complete with inner/outer box, warranty booklet, and hangtag. In the Eco-Drive Model with Annual Accuracy of ☑ Second, a top plate printed with a gradation is placed on top of the hand-dyed washi paper. The Citizen Chronomaster with the spectacular blue washi dial reference AQ4091-56L. Our obsessive focus on achieving the ideal indigo with the right level of light permeability means that each watch dial has its own individual character. The solution was to decide exactly what the desired colour was and then to dip the washi paper in the dye a different number of times and for a different length of time, as conditions warranted, to achieve the desired colour intensity. The new Iconic Nature quartet calls to mind high-end quartz watches from Citizen’s Japanese rival, though Citizen’s offering edges ahead, at least on paper. As a result, variations in colour and light permeability occur even when the identical protocol is followed. Citizen has used washi for dials on The Citizen before, but usually in a low-key white. Master dyer Kenta Watanabe discusses the challenges of handling ultra-thin Tosa washi paper, the experience of collaborating with CITIZEN engineers and his feelings about the finished. Factors such as humidity, temperature and raw materials affect the state of the dye solution. The hand-dyed indigo washi paper dial is the result of a collaboration with Watanabe’s, a workshop in Tokushima, Japan’s traditional indigo-dyeing region. This time the challenge was even harder than normal. Hands down the best looking dial I've owned or seen in person. The biggest challenge we faced when making the hand-dyed indigo washi paper dials was the same one we face with all our Eco-Drive models: finding the perfect balance between the perfect colour and permeability to light.
