Seiko (TMI) NH36 Automatic Movement - Day Date @ 4H Crown (Black)

Options

Day + date, aligned for 4 o'clock crowns.

Genuine Seiko NH36 automatic movement with day and date wheels aligned for cases with the crown at 4 o'clock. Same day+date platform as the standard NH36, but the calendar is positioned for a 4 o'clock crown case. Use this version only when your case has its crown at 4 o'clock.

Two accuracy grades. One genuine Seiko caliber, QC-passed by TMI.
Pick Regulated for watchmaker-tuned precision, or Non-Regulated for Seiko factory spec. Every unit is a genuine Time Module Inc. movement, tested functional before it ships.

Built for 4 o'clock crown cases.
The day and date wheels are aligned for cases with the crown at the 4 o'clock position. Fitting this in a standard 3 o'clock case will misalign the calendar, pick the standard NH36 for those.

Regulated or non-regulated.
Choose Regulated and a certified watchmaker tunes it to 0 to +8 seconds/day before it ships. Choose Non-Regulated for factory-default accuracy of -20 to +40 seconds/day per Seiko's spec. Same movement, your call on precision.

Hacking and hand-winding.
Both built in. The seconds hand stops when you pull the crown for precise time-setting, and you can manually wind it. The popular reason modders upgrade from older 7S26/7S36 calibers.

In every box.
Each movement ships with a full-length threaded stem and a dummy stem with plastic crown. Additional full-length threaded stems are available separately.

How the NH family compares

Caliber Complication Crown Position Version
NH34 GMT + Date 3 or 4 o'clock White
NH35 Date 3 or 4 o'clock Black White
NH35 Date · 6 o'clock dial 3 or 4 o'clock Black White
NH36 Day + Date 3 o'clock only Black White
NH36 · THIS MOVEMENT Day + Date 4 o'clock only Black White
NH38 Open Heart (no date) 3 or 4 o'clock View
NH70 / 71 / 72 Skeleton (no date) 3 or 4 o'clock NH72

Most NH movements fit either a 3 or 4 o'clock crown — the stem threads either way and the date disc isn't affected. The NH36 is the exception: its day wheel is pre-aligned for one crown position, so pick the standard (3 o'clock) or the 4 o'clock version to match your case. Every caliber shares the same 24-jewel automatic platform, 21,600 vph beat rate, and 41+ hour power reserve. Click any version to go straight to that product.

Questions, Answered

Everything worth knowing before you build.

When do I need the 4 o'clock crown NH36 instead of the standard one?

Use this 4 o'clock version only when your case has its crown at the 4 o'clock position. The NH36's day wheel is pre-aligned to the crown position, so a standard (3 o'clock) NH36 would show the day text skewed in a 4 o'clock case, and vice versa. Match the movement to your case's crown position.

Why does the NH36 come in 3 o'clock and 4 o'clock versions?

Because of the day wheel. Unlike a date disc, the day wheel is pre-aligned to a specific crown position so the day text reads upright in the window. We stock a 3 o'clock version and a 4 o'clock version — pick the one matching your case's crown position. (Date-only and no-date calibers don't have this constraint; they fit either crown.)

What's the difference between Regulated and Non-Regulated?

Regulated movements are tuned by a certified watchmaker to 0 to +8 seconds per day before they ship. Non-Regulated movements run at Seiko's factory-default accuracy of -20 to +40 seconds per day. It's the same movement either way — Regulated just buys you tighter timekeeping out of the box.

Is this a Type M or Type L movement, and does it matter?

This is a Type M movement. Type M and Type L are Seiko's two factory hand-fitting heights; Type L sits about 0.4mm taller. Ultra Thin Edition cases have tight hand-to-sapphire clearance, so they take Type M only. Always confirm Type M before fitting.

Can I return a movement if my mod doesn't work out?

Movements can't be returned once shipped. Given the DIY nature of modding and Seiko's trade practices, all movement sales are final. Every unit passes TMI quality control and is guaranteed fully functional on arrival — but the fitting itself is at your own risk, so this movement is recommended for experienced modders only.
