Snowflake Dial (Open Heart)

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

Snowflake Dial. Applied Silver Indices. Open Heart.

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 Open Heart dial is built for the Seiko NH38, and only the NH38 — the aperture is cut for its balance wheel.

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 28.5mm dial — the industry-standard size for Seiko mod builds. It fits any case designed for a 28.5mm dial, whether that's a Bauhaus 33, an SKX013, or another aftermarket case. The matched case shown with a dial is an aesthetic pairing, not a fitment requirement.

Does this dial have lume?

No — this version's indices are mirror-polished silver and are not lumed.

Is this a limited edition — will it be restocked?

Yes, it's a limited edition, and it will not be restocked. Once the run sells out it's retired for good. The edition size is shown on the product page.

Are the markers printed or applied?

Applied. The hour indices and minute markers are individually applied, mirror-polished silver — raised metal on the white snowflake texture, not flat print. The relief is what gives this dress dial its depth.

Will the markers come off if I touch them?

The minute markers can. They are individually applied and extremely small, with a correspondingly tiny adhesive footprint, so 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.

Why does this open-heart dial have two legs, and which movement does it need?

Two legs, and it's built for a 3 o'clock crown movement — the Seiko NH38, and only the NH38. The open-heart aperture is positioned so the NH38's balance wheel shows through it, which locks in both the leg layout and the caliber. This one's fixed to manufacturer spec.
