A bit of history about the watch:
The Occasion. The 'Wedding Anniversary' Seiko 21-3210 was made in 1973 to celebrate Emperor Hirohito's upcoming 50th Wedding Anniversary. The watch is often simply referred to as 寿 in Japan, which is pronounced "Kotobuki" and means "Congratulations" or "Long life."
The Meaning: "Kotobuki" is also the name of a Yōkai, a type of mythical Japanese creature, depicted as a fusion of all the animals of the Chinese zodiac. As a result, the dial is adorned with two physical manifestations of Kotobuki as a way to offer congratulations and a long life to the Emperor.
