Day + date, aligned for 4 o'clock crowns.
Genuine Seiko NH36 automatic movement with day and date wheels aligned for cases with the crown at 4 o'clock. Same day+date platform as the standard NH36, but the calendar is positioned for a 4 o'clock crown case. Use this version only when your case has its crown at 4 o'clock.
Two accuracy grades. One genuine Seiko caliber, QC-passed by TMI.
Pick Regulated for watchmaker-tuned precision, or Non-Regulated for Seiko factory spec. Every unit is a genuine Time Module Inc. movement, tested functional before it ships.
Built for 4 o'clock crown cases.
The day and date wheels are aligned for cases with the crown at the 4 o'clock position. Fitting this in a standard 3 o'clock case will misalign the calendar, pick the standard NH36 for those.
Regulated or non-regulated.
Choose Regulated and a certified watchmaker tunes it to 0 to +8 seconds/day before it ships. Choose Non-Regulated for factory-default accuracy of -20 to +40 seconds/day per Seiko's spec. Same movement, your call on precision.
Hacking and hand-winding.
Both built in. The seconds hand stops when you pull the crown for precise time-setting, and you can manually wind it. The popular reason modders upgrade from older 7S26/7S36 calibers.
In every box.
Each movement ships with a full-length threaded stem and a dummy stem with plastic crown. Additional full-length threaded stems are available separately.
How the NH family compares
| Caliber | Complication | Crown Position | Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| NH34 | GMT + Date | 3 or 4 o'clock | White |

Most NH movements fit either a 3 or 4 o'clock crown — the stem threads either way and the date disc isn't affected. The NH36 is the exception: its day wheel is pre-aligned for one crown position, so pick the standard (3 o'clock) or the 4 o'clock version to match your case. Every caliber shares the same 24-jewel automatic platform, 21,600 vph beat rate, and 41+ hour power reserve. Click any version to go straight to that product.
For experienced modders only
Movement swapping is recommended only for individuals with the right skills and experience. Every movement passes Time Module Inc. (TMI) quality control before shipping and is guaranteed fully functional on arrival. Given the DIY nature of modding and Seiko's trade practices, movements cannot be returned once shipped. We are not responsible for damage incurred during fitting.
Where this movement fits
Use this 4 o'clock version only in a case designed for a 4 o'clock crown. For standard 3 o'clock crown cases, choose the regular NH36.
