Fine Wind, Clear Morning Dial (Date)

The Fine Wind, Clear Morning dial reproduces Katsushika Hokusai’s woodblock print 凱風快晴 (Gaifū kaisei) — “Fine Wind, Clear Morning”, also called Red Fuji — the second view in his Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, c. 1830. It is finished in highly glossy enamel, with beveled, mirror-polished silver applied (raised) hour indices that catch the light against the artwork. The indices are polished metal rather than lume-filled, so for night legibility pair the dial with lumed hands. A standard 28.5mm Seiko mod dial — wearable Edo-period art for your build, offered in No Date, Date and Day Date versions.

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.

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.

This is a date dial, so it takes a date caliber — the Seiko NH35. The NH36 day-date fits too; you just won't see the day. Some modders deliberately choose the NH36 here to future-proof the build — that way they can later swap to a day-date dial without changing the movement. Fit NH-compatible hands and you're set.

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.

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.

Both our normal and ultra thin chapter rings fit this dial. Where a dial has applied (raised) indices, they sit within the clearance of either ring — so the choice is purely about looks: the ultra thin chapter ring sits low and discreet, while the normal sits a little more pronounced. Pick whichever suits your style.

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.

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.
