: Non-reflective and highly readable, often used for military-style watches.

: Brass is standard for most plated dials; stainless steel is used for premium aftermarket options.

The material affects both the look and long-term durability of the watch.

: The dial must have "dial feet" (mounting pins) that align with the specific holes on your watch movement (e.g., Seiko NH35, ETA 2824).

: The dial's outer diameter must match the internal opening of your watch case. Common modding sizes, such as for the Seiko NH35 movement, are often 28.5mm .
