Sector Dial – PP5296 (No Date)

Logo

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

Sector Dial – PP5296. Silvery Sector Face. No Date.

A 1930s-inspired dress face: a finely grained silvery centre framed by a sharp black sector-style minute track. The layout is symmetrical and architecturally balanced — early-precision character, executed clean and contemporary.

True to minimalist design, there are no hour numerals. Crisp printed black indices and radial markers define each hour with restraint, and a polished applied emblem at 12 o'clock finishes the face. The index printing carries a subtle three-dimensional relief — just enough depth to catch the light, without the bulk of applied metal.

This no-date version keeps the face fully symmetrical and uninterrupted.

A dress-watch face for a smaller build.
As a standard 28.5mm dial it drops into any case built for that size. Its sibling adds a date window — see the table below.

Sector-track symmetry.
A finely grained silvery centre framed by a sharp black sector-style minute track — a balanced, architectural 1930s-dress read.

No numerals, all restraint.
Hour numerals are omitted entirely; crisp printed black indices and radial markers mark the hours, with a polished applied emblem at 12.

Subtle printed relief.
The black indices are printed with a fine three-dimensional relief — a subtle depth that catches the light, not bulky applied metal.

Fits 3 and 4 o'clock crown builds.
Four dial legs as supplied — clip two to suit 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 dial needs a matching set of hands to tell time. This dial isn't lumed, so choose any set that suits the design — browse the hands collection . For night glow, pick lumed hands, since the dial itself carries no lume.

Movement. This No Date dial takes a Seiko NH38 (NH35 / NH36 and the NH70-series also fit). See the FAQ for the full list.

Questions, Answered

Everything worth knowing before you build.

What does the Sector Dial – PP5296 look like?

It's a 1930s-inspired dress dial with a finely grained silvery centre framed by a sharp black sector-style minute track. There are no hour numerals — instead, crisp black printed indices and radial markers define each hour, with a polished applied emblem at 12 o'clock. The index printing has a subtle three-dimensional relief for a touch of depth — raised just enough to catch the light, not applied metal. It's a non-lumed dial, offered in date and no-date versions.

Does this dial have lume?

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.

Which movement does this dial need?

This is a no-date dial, so a no-date caliber is cleanest — the NH38 (the NH70, NH71 and NH72 fit too). It also runs on a date caliber like the NH35 or NH36, and on the wider Seiko/TMI family (7S26, 7S36, 4R15, 4R35, 6R15, NE15, NH25, NH26); the date wheel just turns unseen behind the blank dial. In fact, many modders fit an NH35 or NH36 on purpose to future-proof the build — that way they can later swap to a date or day-date dial without changing the movement. One thing to expect if you do: the crown keeps its date-setting position, so you'll feel it click into that detent when you pull the crown partway out — but with no date window, nothing changes on the dial face.

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.

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.

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.

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.
