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.
