Submariner Dial - Mother of Pearl Edition (No Date)

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

Submariner Mother of Pearl. Applied Indices. BGW9 A-Grade Lume. No Date.

Mother of pearl — nacre — is the iridescent lining of a shell, and no two pieces are ever the same. Tilt it and the surface shifts through a spectrum of colour, from rose to green to blue. This is the highest, most luxurious grade we have sourced, polished to a high gloss that makes the iridescence read deeper still.

The applied indices are mirror-polished silver, each filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 A-Grade — the brightest luminous pigment Super-LumiNova produces. A clean, symmetrical dive face with no date window. Sporty, exquisite, and unmistakably extravagant.

Every dial is one of one.
Because mother of pearl is a natural material, the iridescence on your dial is unique — no two are alike, and the one you receive is yours alone.

Natural nacre, high gloss.
Sourced from the most luxurious grade of mother of pearl we have handled, then polished to a high-gloss finish that deepens the natural iridescence. A gift from mother nature with an opulent lustre.

The brightest lume we fit.
The applied indices are filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 A-Grade — the highest grade Super-LumiNova makes, noticeably brighter than standard. Expect a brightness difference if you pair it with standard-grade hands.

No date — clean face.
A symmetrical dive face with no date window. Pairs with a no-date Seiko NH38; a standard NH35 or NH36 also fits if you don't mind a hidden date wheel.

Fits 3 and 4 o'clock crown builds.
Four dial legs as supplied — clip two to suit your case. One dial works for both modern 3 o'clock and classic SKX-style 4 o'clock crown positions.

Heads up — a dial is one part of the build

Hands. A dial needs a matching set of hands to tell time. To match the A-Grade lume, pair it with a set of Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 hands so dial and hands glow to the same standard.

Movement. A no-date build takes a Seiko NH38 (NH35 / NH36 also fit). Fitting an SKX013, SKX015, SKX017 or 7S26-0030 case? It must be paired with our SKX013 chapter ring .

Questions, Answered

Everything worth knowing before you build.

Will this dial fit my case?

Yes, almost certainly. This is a standard 28.5mm dial — the industry-standard size for Seiko mod builds. It fits any case designed for a 28.5mm dial, whether that's a Bauhaus 33, an SKX013, or another aftermarket case. The matched case shown with a dial is an aesthetic pairing, not a fitment requirement.

Should I choose the normal or the ultra thin chapter ring?

The choice depends on your dial, not the case — both sizes fit every Ultra Thin Edition case. If your dial has applied (raised) indices, the ultra thin chapter ring is the better choice because its slimmer profile gives the indices clearance instead of resting on top of them. If your dial is flat-printed (no applied markers), either size works. When in doubt, the ultra thin chapter ring is the safer default because it works with both dial types.

How do I fit it to a 3 o'clock or a 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. See the How To Mod tab for the full fitting walkthrough.

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.

What is BGW9 lume?

A specific Swiss Super-LumiNova phosphor — appears white-cream in daylight, glows ice-blue at night. The lume Lucius Atelier uses on most dials. Stock Seikos use Lumibrite (green glow); other modding shops often use C3 (green-yellow). BGW9's signature is the cool blue.

Will my dial look exactly like the photo?

No — and that's the point. This dial is made from a natural material, so its pattern and colour are genuinely one of a kind. They shift with the light and differ from piece to piece, which means the dial you receive won't match the photo exactly — it is unique to you. Photos are representative of the design, not the precise piece.

Is this a limited edition — will it be restocked?

Yes, it's a limited edition, and it will not be restocked. Once the run sells out it's retired for good. The edition size is shown on the product page.
