    Pitch Black Enamel Dial (Date)

    Pitch Black Enamel. Sterile Dial. Highly Glossy.

    A deep, mirror-black enamel face with nothing on it — no markers, no numerals, no logo, no text. A true blank slate, finished in a high-gloss enamel that reads almost wet under the light.

    Built for two kinds of modder: the one who wants to print, paint, or apply their own design onto a clean canvas, and the one who wants the purest sterile black look exactly as it ships. Either way, the surface does the work.

    The enamel holds beautifully on its own — glossy, even, and hard-wearing, with none of the fragility of a matte or applied-marker dial.

    A sterile canvas, kept in stock.
    Pitch Black is one of our core blank dials — restocked regularly, not a limited run. Browse the dials collection .

    Deep glossy enamel.
    A mirror-black lacquered enamel surface with real depth — it reflects light cleanly and holds its finish without the delicacy of matte or textured dials.

    A true blank canvas.
    Fully sterile: no applied or printed indices, no numerals, no logo, no "Automatic" text. Run it clean for a pure black face, or use it as a base for your own dial work.

    Heads up — a dial is one part of the build

    Hands. A dial needs a matching set of hands to tell time. This is a sterile, non-lume dial, so it pairs with any set of hands you like — if you want the watch to glow at night, choose lumed hands, since the dial itself carries no lume.

    Movement. This Date dial needs a date automatic — the Seiko NH35 (an NH36 day-date also fits, with the day disc hidden).

    Questions, Answered

    Everything worth knowing before you build.

    Does the Pitch Black dial have any markers, numerals, or a logo?

    No — it is a fully sterile dial. There are no applied or printed hour indices, no numerals, no minute track, no logo, and no “Automatic” text. The face is a clean, uninterrupted sheet of glossy black enamel — ideal either as a pure minimalist black dial or as a blank base for your own design.

    Is the Pitch Black dial glossy or matte?

    Highly glossy. It is a deep, mirror-like black enamel with a wet-look shine. If you want a flat, non-reflective black instead, our Velvet Black dial is the matte sterile counterpart — Pitch Black is the glossy one.

    Can I paint or customise the dial myself?

    Yes — the blank, sterile surface is made for it. Modders use Pitch Black as a base for printed or hand-applied markers, custom logos, and designs. The enamel is smooth and even, which gives a clean starting surface. How well a given paint, ink, or transfer bonds to enamel depends on your own materials and technique, so test your method before committing to the final dial.

    Does the Pitch Black dial have lume?

    No — being fully sterile, the 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.

    Which movement does a Pitch Black dial need?

    It depends on the version. The No Date dial is fully blank, so almost any NH movement fits — a no-date NH38 is cleanest, and a dated NH35 or day-date NH36 (or NH70 / NH71 / NH72) also works, with the unused date or day disc simply hidden behind the sterile face. The Date version takes an NH35, and the Day Date version takes an NH36. All are standard 3 o'clock-crown automatics — no GMT movement is used.

    Will this dial fit my case?

    Yes, almost certainly. This is a standard 28.5mm dial — the industry-standard size for Seiko mod builds. It fits any case designed for a 28.5mm dial, whether that's a Bauhaus 33, an SKX013, or another aftermarket case. The matched case shown with a dial is an aesthetic pairing, not a fitment requirement.

    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 it to a 3 o'clock or a 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. See the How To Mod tab for the full fitting walkthrough.

    Does it work with normal or ultra thin chapter rings?

    Both. All our SKX013 chapter rings — normal and ultra thin — clear the dial. Choose by your case's clearance, not the dial.

    Is the Pitch Black dial a limited edition? Will it be restocked?

    No — unlike our numbered limited-edition dials, Pitch Black is a core staple. It is an open-run dial that we keep in regular stock and restock as needed, so there is no fixed edition size and no risk of it being retired after a single run.
