What is the Snowflake series?

The Snowflake series is our family of snow-textured dials — a finely worked silver-white surface, never printed flat. It spans dress and diver styles, lumed and non-lume, three-hand and GMT. Every dial is a limited edition and is retired for good once it sells out.

Which Snowflake dials have lume?

Two of them. The Submariner Snowflake Edition and the Submariner GMT Snowflake fill their applied indices with Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 Grade A for a blue glow. The dress members — the Snowflake Dial and the GMT Snowflake [For NH34] — are non-lume, finished in polished silver.

Which movement does each Snowflake need?

The standard three-hand dials run on the NH35, NH36, or NH38 (No Date dials also take NH70 / NH71 / NH72). The Day-Date needs the NH36. The two GMT dials are cut for the Seiko NH34 and its wider 2.7mm centre hole — a standard NH35 will not drive the GMT complication.

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.

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.

Snowflake Series

Snow, rendered in metal. The Snowflake series is our run of snow-textured dials — a finely worked silver-white surface that catches light the way a wind-swept snowfield does, never printed flat. Each one is a limited edition, retired for good once it sells out. This page gathers the whole family in one place: dress and diver, lumed and bare, three-hand and GMT.

The texture is the point. Rather than a flat white face, each dial carries a fine crystalline relief that shifts between bright silver-white and soft shadow as the wrist moves — quiet from across a room, alive up close. It reads differently in daylight, lamplight, and shade, and it gives a dress dial real depth.

Which Snowflake is for you?

Want a pure dress dial? The Snowflake Dial — white snow texture, polished-silver applied indices, no lume — in No Date, Day Date, and Open Heart. Its applied minute markers are delicate; it is best handled by experienced modders.
Want the snow texture with a glow? The Submariner Snowflake Edition — a silvery-white texture with Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 Grade A lumed indices, in a diver-style Day-Date.
Building a GMT? Two NH34 options — the lumed Submariner GMT Snowflake, or the non-lume dress GMT Snowflake [For NH34]. Both need the NH34 and its wider 2.7mm centre hole.
Collecting the series? Some members are already retired and will not return — sold-out pieces are shown for the record.

Why the series works

The texture. Every dial in the series shares the same idea — a fine, snow-like relief instead of a flat coat of paint. The surface is what carries the watch: legible and restrained by day, with a quiet shimmer that only shows when the light moves.

Lumed or bare. The lumed members (Submariner Snowflake Edition and Submariner GMT Snowflake) fill their applied indices with Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 Grade A for a clean blue glow; the dress members (Snowflake Dial and the GMT Snowflake [For NH34]) skip lume for a pure, polished-silver look. Pair lumed dials with lumed hands so the build glows as one piece.

Three-hand or GMT. The standard dials run on the NH35 / NH36 / NH38 family; the two GMT dials are cut for the Seiko NH34 and its wider 2.7mm centre hole, so a true second-time-zone build stays possible in a slim case.

Limited, then gone. Each Snowflake is produced in a single capped run and never remade. When one sells out it is retired for good — the sold-out pieces below are kept on the page so the full series stays on record.
