Sterile Turquoise Enamel Dial (Day Date)

No — it's a fully sterile dial. No applied or printed hour indices, no numerals, no minute track, no logo, and no "Automatic" text — just a clean, uninterrupted surface. Your choice of hands does the timekeeping, and the blank face also makes an ideal base for your own design.

It's highly glossy — a turquoise (Tiffany blue) enamel face with a clean, even, hard-wearing sheen. It's a fully sterile blank dial: no markers, numerals, logo or text. The gloss enamel holds its finish well and doesn't have the delicacy of a matte or applied-marker dial.

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

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.

This is a day-date dial, so it needs the Seiko NH36 — and only the NH36, the one caliber that drives both the day and the date. Don't fit an NH35 here: with no day disc to fill the day window, you'd see the bare movement through the cutout — unsightly.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No — unlike our numbered limited-edition dials, this is a core staple: an open-run dial we keep in regular stock and restock as needed. There's no fixed edition size and no risk of it being retired after a single run.

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.
