Stardust Dial v4 (Date)

LIMITED EDITION · 100 pieces only. Once this run sells out, this dial is retired for good — never remade.

The Stardust Dial. Glossy Black Enamel. A Sky Full of Stars.

A highly glossy black enamel ground scattered with iridescent flecks that catch the light like distant stars across a night sky. The Stardust v4 pairs that celestial face with angled, mirror-polished silver applied indices — every marker tuned to throw a different sheen as the wrist turns.

No two are ever quite alike — the flecks fall differently on every dial, so each piece carries its own constellation.

Part of the Stardust Series.
Limited enamel dials, never restocked. Browse the series .

Glossy black enamel, scattered with starlight.
A deep, highly glossy black enamel ground flecked with iridescent glitter — the celestial signature the Stardust line is known for.

Angled, mirror-polished indices.
Silver applied hour and minute markers, each set at an angle to catch light and sheen at every rotation.

Heads up — a dial is one part of the build

Hands. A dial needs a handset to tell time — browse our BGW9 Hands .

Movement. For the date version, pair a Seiko NH35 (date) or NH36 (day-date) automatic.

Handle the minute markers with care

The minute markers are extremely tiny, held by a correspondingly tiny patch of adhesive — so they shift or pop off if touched. Work this dial only with clean tools and a steady hand; it's one for experienced modders and professional watchmakers. (The logo and "Automatic" text are firmly applied — they won't lift in normal handling.)

Questions, Answered

Everything worth knowing before you build.

Will this dial fit my case?

Yes, almost certainly. This is a standard Seiko mod dial — 28.5mm in diameter and 0.4mm thick, the industry-standard size — so it fits most, if not all, Seiko cases. Where a dial is shown with a particular case, that's an aesthetic pairing, not a fitment requirement. If you're unsure, the surest check is to remove your current dial and measure it with a vernier caliper.

Why does the dial have four legs?

The dial ships with four legs so it fits two different crown positions. Seiko movements come in 3 o'clock and 4 o'clock crown layouts, and the dial feet sit in different places for each. Clip off the two legs that don't match your crown position — two stay, two go.

Does this dial work with a normal or an ultra thin chapter ring?

Both our normal and ultra thin chapter rings fit this dial. Where a dial has applied (raised) indices, they sit within the clearance of either ring — so the choice is purely about looks: the ultra thin chapter ring sits low and discreet, while the normal sits a little more pronounced. Pick whichever suits your style.

Are the markers applied or printed?

Applied. The hour markers are applied (raised) indices — raised metal on the dial surface, not flat print. The relief is what gives the face its depth and light play as the wrist moves.

Does this dial have lume?

No — this dial carries no lume. If you want the watch to glow in the dark, pair it with a set of lumed hands; the glow then comes from the hands rather than the dial face.

Are the markers fragile?

The fine minute markers can be. They're individually applied and extremely small, with a correspondingly tiny adhesive footprint, so they can shift or lift if pressed — handle the dial by its edges and never touch the marker surface. The logo and "Automatic" text are firmly applied and don't lift in normal handling. Because of this delicacy, dials with applied minute markers suit experienced modders.

What's the difference between the Stardust versions?

The Stardust face is shared; the versions differ by complication — Date, No Date, Day-Date (NH36), Open Heart (NH38), and GMT (NH34). Match the version to your movement; the comparison table on each page lays them out.

Can you remove the logo from the dial?

Our dials carry the logo on an adhesive backing rather than a stamped or engraved mark, so it isn't baked into the surface — but removing one cleanly isn't realistic. The adhesive doesn't release without scratching or marking the dial, and the risk is greatest on enamel. We sell our dials as-is and don't modify them. You're welcome to remove it yourself or have a modding specialist do it, just knowing the face will likely pick up some cosmetic marks.

Is this a limited edition / will it be restocked?

Yes, it's a limited edition, and it won't be restocked. Once the run sells out it's retired for good. The edition size is shown on the product page.

Are hands included with this dial?

No — dials and hands are sold separately. This listing is for the dial only; choose a matching handset to complete the build. If your dial is lumed, pairing it with lumed hands in the same lume type keeps the whole face glowing together.
