The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai

Original Woodblock Print — The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai

The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Luminous. The whole wave glows.

Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa (神奈川沖浪裏), woodblock-printed around 1831, is the most recognised work of Japanese art in the world. We've put it on a dial in high definition — and then done something no one else does.

The lume sits beneath the artwork. Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 is multi-layered onto a white base, the printed wave is bonded over it on a crystal-clear film, and the whole thing is built into a 0.5mm dial across three production plants. The result: a crisp, high-definition print by day — and at night, the entire wave glows, not just the hour markers. It's a Lucius Atelier construction, the first and only of its kind in the industry.

The surface is semi-glossy with a fine, grainy 3D texture that gives the wave depth, finished with applied, beveled, mirror-polished silver hour indices.

Art by day. Light by night.
A standard 28.5mm dial — it drops into any build sized for it, and the glow matches any of our BGW9 hands.

The whole wave glows.
Lume layered beneath the print means the entire artwork lights up at night — not just the markers. A high-definition wave by day, a luminous one in the dark.

A Lucius Atelier invention.
The under-artwork lume layering is first-and-only-of-its-kind, built across three production plants into a single 0.5mm dial.

Hokusai's masterpiece.
The Great Wave off Kanagawa (c.1831), reproduced in high definition — a genuine appreciation of art and horology.

Semi-gloss, 3D texture.
A grainy, semi-glossy surface and applied beveled mirror-silver indices give the wave depth and a premium feel.

Heads up — a dial is one part of the build

Hands. A dial needs a matching set of hands to tell time. Pair this one with any of our Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 hands so the glow matches across hands and the luminous wave.

Movement. This is the no-date version — no date or day window. Any standard NH-type movement works (NH35, NH36 and the calibres listed under Specs); if you fit a date movement, the date simply won't show through the artwork. See the FAQ for the full list.

Does the whole dial glow, or just the markers?

The whole wave. This dial uses a Lucius Atelier construction where Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 is layered beneath the printed artwork — so at night the entire Great Wave glows, not just the hour markers. By day it reads as a crisp, high-definition print; in the dark it becomes a luminous piece of art. The applied beveled mirror-silver indices are lumed too, and a full charge glows up to eight hours.

Is this Hokusai's original artwork?

Yes — it's Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa (神奈川沖浪裏), the woodblock print he created around 1831 and the most recognised work of Japanese art in the world. It's reproduced here on the dial. As a historic work it sits in the public domain.

Which movement does this dial need?

This is a no-date dial, so a no-date caliber is cleanest — the NH38 (the NH70, NH71 and NH72 fit too). It also runs on a date caliber like the NH35 or NH36, and on the wider Seiko/TMI family (7S26, 7S36, 4R15, 4R35, 6R15, NE15, NH25, NH26); the date wheel just turns unseen behind the blank dial. In fact, many modders fit an NH35 or NH36 on purpose to future-proof the build — that way they can later swap to a date or day-date dial without changing the movement. One thing to expect if you do: the crown keeps its date-setting position, so you'll feel it click into that detent when you pull the crown partway out — but with no date window, nothing changes on the dial face.

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.

How do I fit this to a 3 or 4 o'clock crown movement?

Remove the two legs that don't match your movement's crown position by clipping or gently twisting them off, then seat the dial as normal — two legs stay, two go. Alternatively, set the movement's crown to the 3 o'clock or 4 o'clock position, superimpose the dial on top, and see how the feet line up — whichever way it aligns, note which two legs need cutting and proceed from there. See the How To Mod tab for the full fitting walkthrough.

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.

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.
