Snowflake Dial (No Date)

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

Snowflake Dial. Applied Silver Indices. No Date.

A finely textured white dial that catches the light like fresh-fallen snow — a quiet, wintry surface with real craft up close.

Finished in a white snowflake 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 Snowflake family.
Limited to a single run and never restocked — once it sells out, it is retired for good. Browse the dials collection .

Snow-textured white.
A white surface worked with a fine, crystalline snow texture that shifts and sparkles as the light moves across it. 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 No Date dial needs a no-date automatic such as the Seiko NH38 (NH70 / NH71 / NH72 also fit).

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.

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?

No — this dial carries no lume. If you want the watch to glow in the dark, pair it with a set of lumed hands; the glow then comes from the hands rather than the dial face.

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.

Are the markers fragile?

The fine minute markers can be. They're individually applied and extremely small, with a correspondingly tiny adhesive footprint, so they can shift or lift if pressed — handle the dial by its edges and never touch the marker surface. The logo and "Automatic" text are firmly applied and don't lift in normal handling. Because of this delicacy, dials with applied minute markers suit experienced modders.

Which movement does this dial need?

This is a no-date dial, so a no-date caliber is cleanest — the NH38 (the NH70, NH71 and NH72 fit too). It also runs on a date caliber like the NH35 or NH36, and on the wider Seiko/TMI family (7S26, 7S36, 4R15, 4R35, 6R15, NE15, NH25, NH26); the date wheel just turns unseen behind the blank dial. In fact, many modders fit an NH35 or NH36 on purpose to future-proof the build — that way they can later swap to a date or day-date dial without changing the movement. One thing to expect if you do: the crown keeps its date-setting position, so you'll feel it click into that detent when you pull the crown partway out — but with no date window, nothing changes on the dial face.

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.
