Snowflake Dial (No Date)

See It On A Watch

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

Snowflake Dial. Applied Silver Indices. No Date.

A finely textured white dial that catches the light like fresh-fallen snow — a quiet, wintry surface with real craft up close.

Finished in a white snowflake texture and dressed with mirror-polished silver applied indices and minute markers — a non-lume dress dial that rewards a close look.

Part of the Snowflake family.
Limited to a single run and never restocked — once it sells out, it is retired for good. Browse the dials collection .

Snow-textured white.
A white surface worked with a fine, crystalline snow texture that shifts and sparkles as the light moves across it. Photos flatten it; in the metal it has real depth.

Applied silver indices.
Mirror-polished silver hour indices and minute markers, individually applied — a dress finish with genuine relief, not flat print.

Heads up — a dial is one part of the build

Hands. A dial needs a matching set of hands to tell time. This is a non-lume dress dial, so pair it with a set of polished dress hands — no lumed hands needed here.

Movement. This No Date dial needs a no-date automatic such as the Seiko NH38 (NH70 / NH71 / NH72 also fit).

Handle the minute markers with care

The minute markers are individually applied and extremely small, with a correspondingly tiny adhesive footprint — they can shift or lift if touched. Handle the dial by its edges and never press the marker surface. The logo and "Automatic" text are firmly applied and do not lift in normal handling. Because of this delicacy, this dial is best suited to experienced modders and professional watchmakers.

Questions, Answered

Everything worth knowing before you build.

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 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.

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 the markers applied or printed?

Applied. The hour markers are applied (raised) indices — raised metal on the dial surface, not flat print. The relief is what gives the face its depth and light play as the wrist moves.

Are the markers fragile?

The fine minute markers can be. They're individually applied and extremely small, with a correspondingly tiny adhesive footprint, so they can shift or lift if pressed — handle the dial by its edges and never touch the marker surface. The logo and "Automatic" text are firmly applied and don't lift in normal handling. Because of this delicacy, dials with applied minute markers suit experienced modders.

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.

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.

Customers praised this watch dial for its stunning texture and "incredibly beautiful" appearance. The "multifaceted" indices with high polish finish catch light beautifully. Shoppers found it perfect for watch mods, with excellent value. Minor issues: some minute marker dots may detach during installation.

  • The level of finishing you get for the price is unbelievable.

Amazing dial!

This is a dial not to be missed! It looked really white when I first unwrapped it... but once I installed it it took on a goldish or Copperish hue depending on the lighting. So beautiful! Thank you very much for the hand written note that accompanied my purchase. I will be placing another order soon I am sure.

Stunning

The level of finishing you get for the price is unbelievable. The indices are multifaceted and cut very precisely, the dial texture is a joy to look at, it looks very dynamic, delicate and subtly done, yet it's also easily noticeable, even in low light conditions. 10/10

Beautiful dial!

The dial was delivered in a very safe package and very quickly as well. The snowflake dial totally gave my watch a new sophisticated look, with its beautiful subtle texture.

Gorgeous texture

Love the way the dial texture catches the light. Lovely finish on the indices. Only complaint is a couple minute marker dots popped off during installation. I might remove the rest like another reviewed has done. Maybe just printed minutes would be better in future.
Watch has raffles case + bracelet and cheap AliExpress hands. Will swap to dauphine hands when polished are available.

Beautiful Dial and polished indicies

Wanted to go for a no date, no lume dress watch and this fit the bill perfectly. I'm waiting on my watch case to start this build, can't wait, will post photos once it's in.

edit: I was cleaning the indices and rodico tapped a minute marker. I couldn't find the minute marker after and decided to remove the rest. They came out easily by a simple tap and brush with rodico. I salvaged this dial and am still extremely pleased. But as a word of warning, do not touch the markers outside the indices.

Snowflake , no date

I was very happy to receive the beautiful dial .It was meticulously manufactured, and I shall now look for another watch to remodel.
However , I am disappointed that the courier drlivered it to my business address, instead of my mailing address, unlike the previous two occasions.

Hello!

Thanks for expressing interest in our mod parts!

>> will this work with an eta 2824-2 movement?
Yes but it depends on your case, your objective and modding skillset. It is definitely not "plug and play".

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Hi - I have a Seiko SARY053 (open heart NH38). Would this dial work or would I still need to purchase the open heart version?
Many thanks!

Adriel from LuciusAtelier.com

Hello JP!

Thanks for expressing interest in our mod parts!

Not entirely sure but my guess is no it will not fit as presage series generally have bigger dial size than normal series.

The easiest approach is actually to build 1 from scratch using explorer case.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Cheers,
Adriel
