Deep Diver GMT Dial [For NH34]

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

Deep Diver GMT Dial. Matt Black. For the Seiko NH34.

A classic black dive face, reimagined as a GMT for the Seiko mod world at 28.5mm. This is a revival of our original Deep Diver Dial — a 2018 release that sold out in 2020 — now recut around the NH34’s 24-hour movement. Deep, even matt black, the kind of understated dive-watch face that lets the indices and hands do the talking.

The hour markers are polished-silver applied indices — beveled, raised metal, mirror-finished — filled with 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 Grade A. The clean white minute track was chosen to sit naturally against the BGW9 tone in daylight; by night the lume glows a cool blue, holding up to eight hours on a full charge.

It’s a true GMT layout built around the Seiko NH34: a 24-hour track the fourth hand sweeps to read a second time zone straight off the dial.

A dive-GMT revival, built for the NH34.
As a standard 28.5mm dial it fits any case cut for that size — pair it with a GMT 24H chapter ring and a matching GMT hand set (in BGW9 to match the lume) to finish the look. Browse the full dial range .

Matt black dive finish.
A deep, even matt black face with classic dive-dial proportions and a clean outer minute track — understated, legible, built to anchor a tool-watch build.

Polished applied indices, BGW9 Grade A lume.
Beveled, raised silver indices — mirror-finished, not flat print — filled with 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 Grade A. Clean white by day, a cool blue glow by night.

True GMT layout for the NH34.
A 24-hour track built around the NH34’s GMT pinion, so the fourth hand reads a second time zone off the dial. It needs the Seiko NH34, and only the NH34.

NH34 only — fits 3 and 4 o'clock crowns.
The dial uses the wider 2.7mm centre hole the NH34’s 24-hour pinion passes through. Four dial legs as supplied — clip the two that don’t match your case, covering both a modern 3 o'clock and a classic SKX-style 4 o'clock crown.

Heads up — a dial is one part of the build

Hands. A GMT dial needs a matching GMT hand set — the one with the fourth 24-hour hand that reads the second time zone. Browse the GMT sets (Explorer, GS Arrow, Master Arrow and Snowflake, all cut for the NH34) in the Hands collection .

Movement. This dial needs the GMT NH34, and only the NH34 — its 24-hour pinion passes through the dial’s wider 2.7mm centre hole. Browse calibers in the Movements collection .

Fitment note — This is a GMT dial built for the Seiko NH34 only. It uses the wider 2.7mm centre hole the NH34’s 24-hour GMT pinion passes through, and is not recommended for the NH35, NH36 or other NH movements.

Questions, Answered

Everything worth knowing before you build.

What is the Deep Diver GMT dial's finish?

The Deep Diver GMT is a matt black dive dial — a revival of our original Deep Diver Dial (sold out in 2020), recut as a GMT for the Seiko NH34. The face is a deep, even matt black, with a clean outer minute track chosen to sit naturally against the lume in daylight. The hour markers are polished-silver applied (raised) indices, beveled and mirror-finished, filled with 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 Grade A — white by day, a cool blue glow by night, lasting up to eight hours on a full charge. It runs a true 24-hour GMT layout built around the NH34.

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.

Which movement does this dial need?

This is a GMT layout, so it needs the Seiko NH34 — and only the NH34. The dial uses the wider 2.7mm centre hole the NH34's 24-hour GMT pinion passes through. It will physically sit on an NH35 or NH36, but a standard hour hand often won't cover the wider bore, so the movement shows through — for a clean result, use the NH34.

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.

Does this dial have lume?

Yes — the applied indices are filled with 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 Grade A: a cool blue glow by night, white by day, lasting up to eight hours on a full charge. For maximum glow, pair it with hands that also carry BGW9 so the whole face glows together (hands are sold separately).

Are the markers applied or printed?

Applied. The hour markers are applied (raised) indices — raised metal on the dial surface, not flat print. The relief is what gives the face its depth and light play as the wrist moves.

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.

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.

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.
