Submariner Mother of Pearl. Applied Indices. BGW9 A-Grade Lume. Date.

Mother of pearl — nacre — is the iridescent lining of a shell, and no two pieces are ever the same. Tilt it and the surface shifts through a spectrum of colour, from rose to green to blue. This is the highest, most luxurious grade we have sourced, polished to a high gloss that makes the iridescence read deeper still.

The applied indices are mirror-polished silver, each filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 A-Grade — the brightest luminous pigment Super-LumiNova produces. A date window sits at 3 o'clock in the classic dive position. Sporty, exquisite, and unmistakably extravagant.

Every dial is one of one.
Because mother of pearl is a natural material, the iridescence on your dial is unique — no two are alike, and the one you receive is yours alone.

Natural nacre, high gloss.
Sourced from the most luxurious grade of mother of pearl we have handled, then polished to a high-gloss finish that deepens the natural iridescence. A gift from mother nature with an opulent lustre.

The brightest lume we fit.
The applied indices are filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 A-Grade — the highest grade Super-LumiNova makes, noticeably brighter than standard. Expect a brightness difference if you pair it with standard-grade hands.

Date at 3 o'clock.
The date sits in the classic dive position at 3 o'clock, so this dial pairs with a standard Seiko NH35 (NH36 also fits) — no special-order movement needed.

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. To match the A-Grade lume, pair it with a set of Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 hands so dial and hands glow to the same standard.

Movement. This date dial takes a standard Seiko NH35 (NH36 also fits). Fitting an SKX013, SKX015, SKX017 or 7S26-0030 case? It must be paired with our SKX013 chapter ring .

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.

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.

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.

What is BGW9 lume?

A specific Swiss Super-LumiNova phosphor — appears white-cream in daylight, glows ice-blue at night. The lume Lucius Atelier uses on most dials. Stock Seikos use Lumibrite (green glow); other modding shops often use C3 (green-yellow). BGW9's signature is the cool blue.

Will my dial look exactly like the photo?

No — and that's the point. This dial is unique to each piece, whether from a genuine natural material or an individually hand-finished process, so its pattern and colour vary from one example to the next and won't match the photo exactly. The photos are representative of the design, not the precise piece you'll receive.

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.
