Bauhaus Dial (Date @ 4H)

LIMITED EDITION · 200 pieces only. Once this run sells out, this dial is retired for good — never remade. Bauhaus Dial. Printed Markers. Matte White. Date at 4H. A dial that lives by a single century-old idea: form follows function. Geometric Arabic numerals, a printed minute track, and nothing else — no applied markers, no logo flourishes, no decorative weight. The face is the structure, and the structure is the face. The numeral layout is the detail to notice. 12-2-4-6-8-10 — even hours only, set in an architectural sans-serif drawn for legibility rather than tradition. Odd hours sit as long printed indices, which keeps the face balanced without crowding it. Every mark on the dial earns its place. The date sits at 4 o'clock, just below and inboard of the 4 numeral — a clean rectangular cutout that gives you the practicality of a date function without breaking the Bauhaus symmetry. The numeral has been redrawn slightly to make room for the window; nothing else on the dial moves. Form still follows function — function just got a date. Designed to pair with the Bauhaus 33 Ultra Thin case. This dial was drawn alongside our Bauhaus 33mm Ultra Thin Watch Case — the thinnest case in our Ultra Thin line at 9.93mm. As a standard 28.5mm dial it fits any case built for that size, but the Bauhaus 33 is its intended aesthetic partner. Form follows function. The Bauhaus design language stripped to a dial: geometric numerals, a printed minute track, a discreet logo. No ornament, no fluting, no applied markers — every black mark drawn for legibility, not decoration. Even-hour layout. Numerals at 12-2-4-6-8-10, with long printed indices at the odd hours. The asymmetry is deliberate — it keeps the face balanced without crowding the centre, and gives the dial its architectural rhythm. Date at 4H, NH35 recommended. The date window at 4 o'clock pairs naturally with the NH35 (3-hand + date). The NH36 day-date also fits — you simply won't see the day disc through this dial, which suits modders who want to future-proof for a later day-date swap without changing the movement. 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. For this dial we recommend our Pencil Hands in Polished Blue — the polished blue against matte white is a tonal contrast that holds the Bauhaus discipline while adding a single, deliberate accent. Movement. The NH35 (3-hand + date) is the recommended caliber for this dial. The NH36 day-date also fits — you just won't see the day disc through this dial — which some modders prefer for future-proofing. The movement is sold separately and is the engine of the build.

Recommended mods with: Pencil Hands — Polished Blue Bauhaus 33mm Ultra Thin Watch Case Where exactly is the date window? At the 4 o'clock position, set slightly inboard from the minute track and just below the 4 numeral. The "4" itself has been redrawn slightly narrower to make room for the window — every other mark on the dial sits exactly where it does on the no-date version. The cutout is a clean rectangle, white background with black numerals. Which movement do I need? The NH35 (3-hand + date) is the recommended caliber — its date wheel sits at exactly the 4 o'clock position this dial's window is cut for. The NH36 day-date also fits perfectly; you simply won't see the day disc because there's no window for it on this dial. Some modders deliberately choose the NH36 here so they can later swap to a day-date dial without changing the movement — a quiet way to future-proof a build. Why are there only even-hour numerals? It's a deliberate Bauhaus layout choice. Printing all twelve numerals would crowd the face and pull the dial toward a busier, more ornamental character. With even hours numbered and odd hours represented by long printed indices, the dial keeps its rhythm and its breathing room — the typography stays the feature, not a wall of digits. Are the markers printed or applied? Printed. Every mark on this dial — numerals, indices, minute track, logo — is printed flat on the surface. There are no raised metal markers. That's not a cost-saving choice; it's the design choice. Bauhaus dials are about the discipline of letting typography do the work, not metal ornament. Why does the dial have four legs? The dial is supplied with four dial legs so it can fit 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. You clip off the two legs you don't need. 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 walkthrough. 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 our Bauhaus 33 case, an SKX013, or another aftermarket case. The Bauhaus 33 is its intended styling partner, not a fitment requirement. Does it work with normal or ultra thin chapter rings? Either. Because the markers on this dial are flat-printed (no raised indices), both normal and ultra thin chapter rings will clear the dial surface cleanly. Choose based on your case's clearance, not the dial.
