    Day + date, aligned for 4 o'clock crowns.

    Genuine Seiko NH36 automatic movement with day and date wheels aligned for cases with the crown at 4 o'clock. Same day+date platform as the standard NH36, but the calendar is positioned for a 4 o'clock crown case. Use this version only when your case has its crown at 4 o'clock.

    Two accuracy grades. One genuine Seiko caliber, QC-passed by TMI.
    Pick Regulated for watchmaker-tuned precision, or Non-Regulated for Seiko factory spec. Every unit is a genuine Time Module Inc. movement, tested functional before it ships.

    Built for 4 o'clock crown cases.
    The day and date wheels are aligned for cases with the crown at the 4 o'clock position. Fitting this in a standard 3 o'clock case will misalign the calendar, pick the standard NH36 for those.

    Regulated or non-regulated.
    Choose Regulated and a certified watchmaker tunes it to 0 to +8 seconds/day before it ships. Choose Non-Regulated for factory-default accuracy of -20 to +40 seconds/day per Seiko's spec. Same movement, your call on precision.

    Hacking and hand-winding.
    Both built in. The seconds hand stops when you pull the crown for precise time-setting, and you can manually wind it. The popular reason modders upgrade from older 7S26/7S36 calibers.

    In every box.
    Each movement ships with a full-length threaded stem and a dummy stem with plastic crown. Additional full-length threaded stems are available separately.

    How the NH family compares

    Caliber Complication Crown Position Version
    NH34 GMT + Date 3 or 4 o'clock White
    NH35 Date 3 or 4 o'clock Black White
    NH35 Date · 6 o'clock dial 3 or 4 o'clock Black White
    NH36 Day + Date 3 o'clock only Black White
    NH36 · THIS MOVEMENT Day + Date 4 o'clock only Black White
    NH38 Open Heart (no date) 3 or 4 o'clock View
    NH70 / 71 / 72 Skeleton (no date) 3 or 4 o'clock NH72

    Most NH movements fit either a 3 or 4 o'clock crown — the stem threads either way and the date disc isn't affected. The NH36 is the exception: its day wheel is pre-aligned for one crown position, so pick the standard (3 o'clock) or the 4 o'clock version to match your case. Every caliber shares the same 24-jewel automatic platform, 21,600 vph beat rate, and 41+ hour power reserve. Click any version to go straight to that product.

    Questions, Answered

    Everything worth knowing before you build.

    When do I need the 4 o'clock crown NH36 instead of the standard one?

    Use this 4 o'clock version only when your case has its crown at the 4 o'clock position. The NH36's day wheel is pre-aligned to the crown position, so a standard (3 o'clock) NH36 would show the day text skewed in a 4 o'clock case, and vice versa. Match the movement to your case's crown position.

    Why does the NH36 come in 3 o'clock and 4 o'clock versions?

    Because of the day wheel. Unlike a date disc, the day wheel is pre-aligned to a specific crown position so the day text reads upright in the window. We stock a 3 o'clock version and a 4 o'clock version — pick the one matching your case's crown position. (Date-only and no-date calibers don't have this constraint; they fit either crown.)

    What's the difference between Regulated and Non-Regulated?

    Regulated movements are tuned by a certified watchmaker to 0 to +8 seconds per day before they ship. Non-Regulated movements run at Seiko's factory-default accuracy of -20 to +40 seconds per day. It's the same movement either way — Regulated just buys you tighter timekeeping out of the box.

    Is this a Type M or Type L movement, and does it matter?

    This is a Type M movement. Type M and Type L are Seiko's two factory hand-fitting heights; Type L sits about 0.4mm taller. Ultra Thin Edition cases have tight hand-to-sapphire clearance, so they take Type M only. Always confirm Type M before fitting.

    Can I return a movement if my mod doesn't work out?

    Movements can't be returned once shipped. Given the DIY nature of modding and Seiko's trade practices, all movement sales are final. Every unit passes TMI quality control and is guaranteed fully functional on arrival — but the fitting itself is at your own risk, so this movement is recommended for experienced modders only.

    NH34 vs NH35 vs NH36 vs NH38 vs NH70 — what is the actual difference?

    They are the same movement — only the complication differs. Every one: 24 jewels, −20 to +40 sec/day, 21,600 vph, 41h power reserve, casing Ø29.36mm with the spacer.

    | Movement | Shows |
    |---|---|
    | **NH34** | Date + GMT |
    | **NH35** | Date |
    | **NH36** | Day date |
    | **NH38** | Open Heart |
    | **NH70/71/72** | Skeleton |

    All of them hack (the seconds hand stops while you set). On the NH38 and the NH70 family the crown has one click and it sets the time, so a no-date dial belongs on an NH38 — there is no empty date position to pull past.

    Only the height differs: 7.59mm installed, 7.99mm for the NH34. That extra 0.4mm of hand stack is why a GMT needs a case built for it. Otherwise the family is interchangeable — you are choosing a dial and a crown behaviour, not a different-sized engine.

    I need a true 4h NH36, the one I ordered is 3.8h and does not fit my tuna case. Do you have a true 4h or 4.1h day/date movement. Im actually having a hard time with this case.

    Adriel from LuciusAtelier.com

    Hi Ian,

    Thank you for reaching out and expressing interest in our mod parts!

    The honest answer is no — there is no 4.1 o'clock version. The NH36 comes from Seiko's own movement arm, Time Module, and I buy the movements rather than make them, so I cannot have one aligned to a different angle. There are exactly two calendar alignments available: the standard version for cases with the crown at 3 o'clock, and this one, aligned for cases with the crown at 4 o'clock. Nothing sits between them.

    The NH36 is the only caliber in the family where this matters, because its day wheel is pre-aligned to one crown position. On every other NH the stem threads either way.

    If the crown position on the movement you have does match your case and the day and date still are not lining up with the windows, then that is a dial question rather than a movement one — the aperture has to be cut where the calendar actually sits. Email me at adriel@luciusatelier.com with a photo and I will take a look at it with you.

    Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Best regards,
    Adriel
