Submariner Dial - Snowflake Edition (Day Date)

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

Submariner Snowflake Dial. Lumed Silver Indices. Day-Date.

A silvery-white dial worked with a fine snow texture — the wintry, light-catching surface, in a lumed diver-style face.

Finished in a silvery-white snowflake texture with mirror-polished silver applied indices, lume-filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 Grade A for a clean blue glow.

Part of the Snowflake series.
A family of snow-textured dials, each limited and never restocked once sold out. Explore the Snowflake series .

Snow-textured silver-white.
A silvery-white surface worked with a fine, crystalline snow texture that shifts as the light moves across it. Photographs flatten it; in the metal it reads with real depth.

Lumed applied indices.
Mirror-polished silver hour indices, individually applied and filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 Grade A — raised metal that glows blue by night, not flat print.

Heads up — a dial is one part of the build

Hands. This dial is lumed with BGW9 — pair it with a set of BGW9-lumed hands so the dial and hands charge and glow as one.

Movement. This Day Date dial needs the Seiko NH36 (day + date). An NH35 shows the date but leaves the day window blank.

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?

Yes — the applied indices are filled with 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 Grade A: a cool blue glow by night, white by day, lasting up to eight hours on a full charge. For maximum glow, pair it with hands that also carry BGW9 so the whole face glows together (hands are sold separately).

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.

Which movement does this dial need?

This is a day-date dial, so it needs the Seiko NH36 — and only the NH36, the one caliber that drives both the day and the date. Don't fit an NH35 here: with no day disc to fill the day window, you'd see the bare movement through the cutout — unsightly.

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 exceptional quality and stunning appearance. The subtle snowflake texture creates depth and character, with many noting "photos can't do justice" to how light plays on the surface. The lume is consistently described as "insanely bright" and "brilliantly bright," lasting through entire nights. Minor feedback includes preference for gunmetal indices for contrast.

  • Much better in person than in the photos. The lume is so strong.
  • Top notch dial, the texture is subtle yet fascinating. I highly recommend.
  • Highest quality white dial out there. Beautiful snowflake texture with Grade A lume application.

Looks great!

Very happy with this dial! The texture is subtle — it almost looks like a linen dial, which I like a lot. Much better in person than in the photos here. And the lume is so strong.

Great dial

Top notch dial, the texture is subtle yet fascinating. I highly recommend.
Top notch blue lume as well. I had to upgrade the hands to match it !
A minor thing : I feel that in order to have slightly more constrat on the indices, the dial would benefit from gunmetal indices instead of silver. But that's clearly nitpicking on my part :)

Lovely dial, looks very smart.

Really pleased with the dial, the lume is brilliantly bright. Very good for my work in early mornings and later evenings. Easily goes through a whole night too.

Can't stop looking at my watch ❤️❤️

This snowflake submariner dial is absolutely amazing. Used in a complete build from scratch which created a very unique fusion watch of GS, Rolex & Tudor which I can't stop looking at!

Wow, what a dial.

This is an impressive dial and the quality is excellent. I put mine in a skx case along with a set of polished marine master hands also from here. Totally happy with this dial, thanks Adriel.

Beautiful Dial, Very High Quality

Shipping took a while during COVID times, but was worth the wait. I ordered a couple hours before the Black Friday deal went live, and Adriel was cool enough to retroactively honor the sale price. Dial arrived well packaged in a plastic dial container, and the quality of finishing is everything I could have hoped for. Its the first piece for my new mod, and a foundation I'm confident and excited for.

Everything was perfect

I used this dial, the 36mm explorer case and the Breguet hands. It was a really pleasing experience and I can only recommend it. The costumer service was exceptional. The red dots on the markers are on me, I received it totally clean, everything was in perfect condition! Now I‘m only waiting for a dark mother of pearl dial to build my next one.
Keep up the great work!
