What is the Stardust series?

The Stardust series is our family of glitter-in-enamel dials — pitch-black glossy enamel scattered with iridescent flake, with angled applied indices that catch the light as the wrist moves. It began in 2020 and spans date, no-date, day-date, open heart, and GMT. Every dial is a limited edition and is retired for good once it sells out.

Which Stardust dials have lume?

Most are non-lume — the shimmer comes from the iridescent flake in the enamel, not from lume. The one exception is the Submariner GMT Stardust, which fills its applied indices with Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 Grade A for a blue glow.

Which movement does each Stardust 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 v3 Open Heart runs on the NH38 family (also NH70 / NH71 / NH72). The two GMT dials — Submariner GMT Stardust and Grand Seiko GMT Stardust — 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.

Stardust Series

A galaxy, set in enamel. The Stardust series is our run of glitter-in-enamel dials — pitch-black glossy enamel scattered with iridescent flake, lit by angled applied indices that catch the light at every turn of the wrist. It began in 2020 with a single dial and has stayed one of our most-requested designs ever since. Each one is a limited edition, retired for good once it sells out. This page gathers the whole family in one place: date, no-date, day-date, open heart, and GMT.

The flake is the point. Rather than a flat black face, each dial holds a fine scatter of iridescent particles suspended in deep gloss enamel — near-black and restrained from across a room, alive with shifting colour up close as the light moves. The applied indices sit angled above the surface, so the dial reads with real depth instead of a printed flatness.

Which Stardust is for you?

Want the original look? The first-generation Stardust Dial and v2 — glossy black enamel, iridescent flake, polished applied indices — in Date, No Date, and Day-Date.
Want the latest generation? Stardust v4 refines the indices and adds new formats — Date, No Date, and a GMT. Its applied minute markers are very fine; it is best handled by experienced modders.
Want an open-heart? The Stardust v3 — Open Heart opens a window onto the balance wheel while keeping the celestial finish.
Building a GMT? Two NH34 options — the lumed Submariner GMT Stardust (Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 Grade A) and the Grand Seiko GMT Stardust. 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 finish. Every dial in the series shares one idea — iridescent flake suspended in glossy black enamel, never a flat coat of paint. The surface is what carries the watch: dark and legible by day, with a quiet shimmer of colour that only shows when the light moves.

Applied, not printed. The indices are applied and sit proud of the dial, catching light at an angle. On the v4 dials the minute markers are especially fine — striking up close, but delicate to handle, so they reward a careful build.

Lumed or bare. Most Stardust dials are non-lume — the life in them comes from the flake, not from glow. The one lumed member, the Submariner GMT Stardust, fills its applied indices with Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 Grade A for a clean blue glow. Pair a lumed dial with lumed hands so the build glows as one piece.

Three-hand or GMT. The standard dials run on the NH35 / NH36 / NH38 family (No Date dials also take NH70 / NH71 / NH72); the 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 Stardust 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.
