LIMITED EDITION · 100 pieces only. Once this run sells out, this dial is retired for good — never remade.

Submariner II. Glossy Black Enamel. Applied Indices. BGW9 A-Grade Lume. Date.

A deep, glossy black enamel with real depth under the crystal — a reflective surface that holds light rather than swallowing it. Against it the polished silver sits bright and the lume plots read clean white, which is what gives a black dive face its sense of occasion.

This is the second-generation Submariner dial — the Submariner II. The face is redrawn around a full printed minute track that runs the outer edge, with mirror-polished applied indices raised off the surface and filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 A-Grade. The logo and the Automatic script are applied too — set onto the dial rather than printed onto it.

The date sits at 3 o'clock, taking the place of the 3 o'clock index in the classic dive layout. It runs on a standard Seiko NH35, and we recommend the black date wheel — the dark disc sinks into the dial so only the numeral reads.

The classic dive face, redrawn.
A standard 28.5mm dial, so it fits any case cut for that size — pair it with a set of BGW9 hands and a chapter ring to finish the build. Browse the full dial range .

Glossy black enamel.
A deep, reflective black enamel with genuine visual depth — not a flat matte print. The kind of face that catches and holds the light.

Applied indices, BGW9 A-Grade lume.
Raised, bevelled, mirror-polished silver indices — set onto the dial surface, not printed on — each filled with 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 A-Grade, the brightest grade Super-LumiNova makes. Cream-white by day, cool blue by night.

Date at 3 o'clock.
The date window takes the 3 o'clock index position. It needs a date caliber — the Seiko NH35; an NH36 fits too, you simply will not see the day. A black date wheel is the match for this dial.

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

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 the dial and hands glow to the same standard.

Movement. This is a date dial, so it takes a date caliber — the Seiko NH35. The NH36 day-date fits too; you just will not see the day. We recommend the black date wheel so the disc disappears into the dial and only the numeral shows. Browse calibers in the Movements collection .

Chapter ring. Building on an SKX013, SKX015, SKX017 or 7S26-0030 case? Those cases need one of our SKX013 chapter rings — both the normal and the ultra thin clear these applied indices, so the choice is about looks. On other cases it is optional.

What is the enamel finish on this dial?

The dial is finished in glossy black enamel — a deep, reflective surface with genuine visual depth under the crystal, not a flat matte print. It holds light rather than swallowing it, which is what keeps the polished silver indices reading bright and the lume plots reading clean white against the black.

The hour markers are raised, bevelled, mirror-polished applied indices set into the enamel and filled with 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 A-Grade: cream-white by day, a cool blue glow by night, up to eight hours on a full charge.

How is this different from the original Submariner dial?

This is the second-generation Submariner dial — the Submariner II. The face has been redrawn: a full printed minute track now runs the outer edge, the hour markers are raised, bevelled and mirror-polished applied indices filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 A-Grade, and the logo and the Automatic script are applied — set onto the dial rather than printed onto it. The original Submariner dials remain on sale and are unchanged; the II is a new design, not a replacement.

Fitment is identical to the original: 28.5mm, four dial legs, and the same NH movement compatibility. If you are part-way through a build with an original Submariner dial, the II drops into the same case and takes the same hands.

Are the markers applied or printed?

Both. This dial pairs applied (raised) indices with printed markers — for instance, raised metal hour indices alongside a printed minute track or numerals. The applied indices give depth and light play; the printed elements keep the finer detailing crisp and flat.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
