Shirakaba White Birch Tree Dial. Applied Silver Indices. Date.
Shirakaba (白樺) is Japanese for white birch. A silver dial worked with the fine, bark-like texture of a birch trunk — quiet, organic, and unmistakably crafted.
Finished in a silver white-birch 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 Shirakaba White Birch Tree family.
Limited to a single run and never restocked — once it sells out, it is retired for good. Browse the dials collection .
White-birch texture.
A silver surface worked to echo the fine grain of birch bark — organic lines that shift with the light. 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 Date dial needs the Seiko NH35 (NH36 also fits).
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.

Everything worth knowing before you build.
Customers praised this white birch-inspired watch dial for its exceptional quality and stunning texture. Reviewers noted "gorgeous dial," "mesmerizing" depth, and light-catching properties. Many compared it favorably to premium originals, calling it "unbelievable value." The texture and craftsmanship received universal acclaim, with customers saying it "looks even better in real life."
The way that this dial catches the light and the amount of depth created by it is absolutely mesmerizing. Gets me again every time I look down to check the time.
Adriel was extremely helpful in each step of an anniversary build for my wife and myself. Each individual component of the watch had such attention to detail and clean lines. We also got the build extremely quick, less than a week overseas! We can’t wait to find the perfect leather strap for these GS cases and dress them up.
Used this dial to replace my stock dial on the spb213 which I felt was the only aspect lacking in the watch and I couldn’t be happier. Finally stopped looking at every Seiko release which had something to be left wanting always after making my very own I’m now content with.
Looks even better in real life. Very classy. Paired with the nautilus case and grand seiko polished hands.
This dial is most beautiful thing.
I love the texture and resembles very much the original GS dial. Well done LA.
This dial is beautiful and quality is definitely top notch. No regrets in getting this.
The dial is beautiful in the light. The textured shadows and light of it are really nice to look at. I will be wearing this a lot. (Lucius Atelier G.S. Dauphine hands, Barton canvas strap).
Bought this dial a few days ago and made an SLGH005 Tribute. It is purely stunning. I caught myself looking at the watch more often, without even looking for the time. The texture is very close to the original.
WOW , very high quality , gorgeous dial!
Beautiful dial, faithful execution of the style
You always have such great quality products that are unique. Your focus on this is a strong differentiator for people like me.
Excellent service and products
The dial is so much better looking in person than from the pictures. It looks very high quality. I cannot wait to put this mod together.
It's perfect product. The dial is amazing in real life
I used the dial in combination with the 36mm Explorer style case and im stunned by the overall quality. It almost looks like a GS dial.
Everything I ordered was delivered very fast and packed well.
Thanks for the great parts!
Absolutely magnificent dial. Sadly I don't parts to complete a build with it atm (just ordered it so it wouldn't go out of stock on me) and the quality is amazing. Pictures don't even come close to doing it justice, as far as i've seen so far.
This dial is as close to some of the finest Grand Seiko dials as you are likely to see. At this price point its unbelievable value for money. Beautiful craftsmanship that would grace any watch.
Can we get this dial without Automatic sticker? I want to use this in a quartz build

Does this dial fit the 6R35 movement (eg. Seiko Presage Sharp Edge)? Thanks.
Hello Alex!
Thanks for expressing interest in our mod parts!
The simple answer is yes. However, there is a lot of manual modification.
Here is an in-depth mod of 6R15: https://luciusatelier.com/blogs/news/heres-how-to-modifying-your-sarb033-like-a-professional
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi! I love this dial!
Can I use this dial in my watch(sarb 033, 035)? Do you know is it fit for my watch?
Hello Yunseong!
>> Can I use this dial in my watch(sarb 033, 035)? Do you know is it fit for my watch?
Yes. Absolutely. Although, it is a whole new expert modding level. I have wrote an article almost 2 years ago: https://luciusatelier.com/blogs/news/heres-how-to-modifying-your-sarb033-like-a-professional (Also included is a video tutorial by Darak).
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Fantastic dial! Any chance that it will be produced in more colors? As perfect as white is, it would wonderful to have more than one interpretation of such superb texture.
Hello BT!
Thanks for expressing interest in our mod parts.
It is actually silver colour, not white. White Birch is the name of the tree (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betula_papyrifera).
But no, at the moment no intention to make it in other colours.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers,
Adriel
Hi! Beautiful dial. I was just wondering if the logo is removable like in the turquoise dials? Thanks!
Hello Randall!
Thanks for expressing interest in our mod parts.
Logo is removable but there will be a silhouette for birch dial.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers,
Adriel
