    The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai

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

    The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Hand oil-painted. One of one.

    Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa (神奈川沖浪裏, c.1831) is the most recognised work of Japanese art in the world. This is the dial that takes it furthest — not printed, but painted by hand in oils by a professional dial artist, one dial at a time.

    Because it's hand-painted, every dial carries the artist's own expression of the wave — a genuine 3-dimensional surface where colour and contour shift from piece to piece. No two are the same. The one you receive is unique.

    The process is unhurried: roughly half a day to paint each dial, then at least a month to cure. Only then are the beveled, mirror-polished silver hour indices applied — and the dial is left with no additional coating, so the brushwork and the texture of the oil paint stay exactly as the artist left them.

    A wearable original.
    A standard 28.5mm dial — it drops into any build sized for it.

    One of one.
    Hand-painted by a professional artist — colour and contour differ on every dial. No two are alike; the one you get is yours alone.

    Real oil paint, real texture.
    Painted in oils for a true 3-dimensional surface, cured for a month, and finished with no coating so the brushwork stays.

    Hokusai's masterpiece.
    The Great Wave off Kanagawa (c.1831), interpreted by hand on a 28.5mm dial — a true appreciation of art and horology.

    Applied mirror-silver indices.
    Beveled, mirror-polished silver hour markers, applied after the paint cures — the one precise, repeated detail against a painterly face.

    Heads up — a dial is one part of the build

    Hands. A dial needs a matching set of hands to tell time. A polished silver handset suits the painterly face and matches the applied silver indices — browse our hands .

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

      Because each dial is hand-painted, the one you receive will differ slightly in colour and contour from the photos — that's the nature of an original.

      All photos of watches with modification parts are for illustration purposes only and are not included with the dial purchase.

    Questions, Answered

    Everything worth knowing before you build.

    Will my dial look exactly like the photos?

    Not exactly — and that's the point. Each oil-painted dial is painted by hand by a professional artist, so colour, contour and texture vary from piece to piece. No two are identical. The photos show a representative example; the dial you receive is a unique original.

    Does the oil-painted dial glow in the dark?

    No — the oil-painted Great Wave has no lume. It's left uncoated to preserve the texture of the oil paint, so it doesn't glow. If you want a Great Wave that glows at night, the Luminous Great Wave dial is the one to choose — its whole artwork lights up.

    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 do I need?

    This is the no-date version — there's no date or day window on the dial. It fits any standard NH-type movement, including the NH35 and NH36 plus the 7S26 / 7S36 / 4R15 / 4R35 / 6R15 / NE15 / NH25 / NH26 calibres listed in the Specs. If you fit a date movement, the date simply won't show through the artwork — it just means an unused complication.

    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 this a limited edition — will it be restocked?

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