    Bauhaus Dial (Date @ 4H)

    $38 SGD

    LIMITED EDITION · 200 pieces only. Once this run sells out, this dial is retired for good — never remade.

    Bauhaus Dial. Printed Markers. Matte White. Date at 4H.

    A dial that lives by a single century-old idea: form follows function. Geometric Arabic numerals, a printed minute track, and nothing else — no applied markers, no logo flourishes, no decorative weight. The face is the structure, and the structure is the face.

    The numeral layout is the detail to notice. 12-2-4-6-8-10 — even hours only, set in an architectural sans-serif drawn for legibility rather than tradition. Odd hours sit as long printed indices, which keeps the face balanced without crowding it. Every mark on the dial earns its place.

    The date sits at 4 o'clock, just below and inboard of the 4 numeral — a clean rectangular cutout that gives you the practicality of a date function without breaking the Bauhaus symmetry. The numeral has been redrawn slightly to make room for the window; nothing else on the dial moves. Form still follows function — function just got a date.

    Designed to pair with the Bauhaus 33 Ultra Thin case.
    This dial was drawn alongside our Bauhaus 33mm Ultra Thin Watch Case — the thinnest case in our Ultra Thin line at 9.93mm. As a standard 28.5mm dial it fits any case built for that size, but the Bauhaus 33 is its intended aesthetic partner.

    Form follows function.
    The Bauhaus design language stripped to a dial: geometric numerals, a printed minute track, a discreet logo. No ornament, no fluting, no applied markers — every black mark drawn for legibility, not decoration.

    Even-hour layout.
    Numerals at 12-2-4-6-8-10, with long printed indices at the odd hours. The asymmetry is deliberate — it keeps the face balanced without crowding the centre, and gives the dial its architectural rhythm.

    Date at 4H, NH35 recommended.
    The date window at 4 o'clock pairs naturally with the NH35 (3-hand + date). The NH36 day-date also fits — you simply won't see the day disc through this dial, which suits modders who want to future-proof for a later day-date swap without changing the movement.

    Fits 3 and 4 o'clock crown builds.
    Four dial legs as supplied — clip two to suit your case. One dial works for both modern 3 o'clock and classic SKX-style 4 o'clock crown positions.

    Heads up — a dial is one part of the build

    Hands. A dial needs a matching set of hands to tell time. For this dial we recommend our Pencil Hands in Polished Blue — the polished blue against matte white is a tonal contrast that holds the Bauhaus discipline while adding a single, deliberate accent.

    Movement. The NH35 (3-hand + date) is the recommended caliber for this dial. The NH36 day-date also fits — you just won't see the day disc through this dial — which some modders prefer for future-proofing. The movement is sold separately and is the engine of the build.

    Questions, Answered

    Everything worth knowing before you build.

    Are the markers applied or printed?

    Printed. The markers on this dial are printed flat on the surface, not raised metal. A printed face keeps the layout clean and lets the typography do the work, rather than metal ornament.

    Why are there only even-hour numerals?

    It's a deliberate Bauhaus layout choice. Printing all twelve numerals would crowd the face and pull the dial toward a busier, more ornamental character. With even hours numbered and odd hours represented by long printed indices, the dial keeps its rhythm and its breathing room — the typography stays the feature, not a wall of digits.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Where exactly is the date window?

    At the 4 o'clock position, set slightly inboard from the minute track and just below the 4 numeral. The "4" itself has been redrawn slightly narrower to make room for the window — every other mark on the dial sits exactly where it does on the no-date version. The cutout is a clean rectangle with a white background and black numerals.

    Which movement does this dial need?

    This is a date dial, so it takes a date caliber — the Seiko NH35. The NH36 day-date fits too; you just won't see the day. Some modders deliberately choose the NH36 here to future-proof the build — that way they can later swap to a day-date dial without changing the movement. Fit NH-compatible hands and you're set.

    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.

    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.
