Our Datejust-style Seiko mods are everyday dress watches built around a genuine Japanese automatic (the Seiko NH35 or NH05, or a Miyota on the Day-Date builds), wearing clean sunburst dials, fluted-style bezels and jubilee-style bracelets. Every one carries a sapphire crystal and a 2-year warranty, and is splash-resistant as standard, with a Swim-Ready upgrade you can add at order time. Made to order, with free worldwide shipping. Made to be looked at twice.

Our most-loved collection. The Seiko Datejust mod rebuilds the timeless dress-watch silhouette on a dependable Japanese automatic movement: Arabic numerals, Roman dials, two-tone and Wimbledon grey, in sizes from 31mm to 41mm.

Every piece runs an automatic movement beneath a sapphire crystal, is built to order, and ships free worldwide. Independent and quality-led: a genuine Japanese automatic under sapphire, built to hold up to the second look. Not a copy. A choice.

Which Seiko Datejust mod should you buy?

Short answer: choose your size first, then your dial. Datejust-style builds come in 36mm, 39mm or 41mm on a genuine Seiko NH35 automatic. Gem-set dials come in 36mm or 39mm, the Day-Date style runs a Miyota automatic in 39mm or 41mm, and the Lady Datejust comes in 31mm (Seiko NH05) or 36mm (Seiko NH35).

Picking a dial

For a first Datejust, the Wimbledon Grey, Blue and Classic Black go with almost anything. Roman dials such as White Roman read dressier, and Arabic dials such as Arabic White read more casual. Two-tone builds like Two-Tone Chocolate add warmth. Want the day spelled out too? See the Day-Date Blue Roman.

Which size?

36mm is the classic dress size, 39mm is the middle ground and 41mm wears bigger. Sizes are approximate.

Every build has sapphire crystal, is made to order, quality-checked and regulated before it ships, and carries a 2-year warranty with free worldwide shipping. A Swim-Ready (5 ATM) upgrade is available when you order.

Frequently asked questions

Is a Datejust mod a real automatic?

Yes. Each one runs a genuine Japanese automatic: the Seiko NH35 on the Datejust builds, the Seiko NH05 on 31mm Lady Datejusts, and a Miyota on the Day-Date builds. It is fully mechanical and self-winding, powered by the motion of your wrist.

Can I swim or dive with it?

Not as standard. Standard builds are splash-resistant: fine for rain, hand-washing and everyday wear, but not for swimming, showering or diving. To swim with it, add the Swim-Ready 5 ATM upgrade when you order, and screw the crown down before any water.

Is this an original watch?

Yes. Every watch is an original Rosevari build: a genuine Japanese automatic movement in a case and dial style that pays homage to the classics. Every watch is sold openly as a Rosevari custom build, never as the genuine article, and we disclose every part we use.

How much does it cost and how long does it take?

The standard Datejust-style builds are our most affordable watches. Gem-set dials and the Day-Date style cost a little more, and the Lady Datejust a little more again. The Swim-Ready (5 ATM) upgrade is an optional extra. Every product page shows the current price in your local currency. Every build is made to order, in 1 to 2 weeks from order to dispatch, with free worldwide shipping and a 2-year warranty.

What sizes do they come in?

Datejust builds come in 36mm, 39mm or 41mm (gem-set dials in 36mm or 39mm), Day-Date builds in 39mm or 41mm, and Lady Datejusts in 31mm or 36mm. Sizes are approximate.
