Prismatic dial

[Sam Lawrence]

Hello,

Has anyone any info on prismatic dials?

Hi Sam,

I'm not sure to which model you're referring. I don't recall any with a prismatic dial.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Like this. I once saw one on eBay listed as a "prismatic" dial.



Thanks,
Sam

Ah OK, I know the ones. A bunch popped up in NOS condition from a Dutch watchmaker recently. They pop up every now and then on eBay and I've seen some on Catawiki too. They're Sherpa Dates and are quite nice. Martijn van der Ven sold a bunch recently. Here's one that has a bit more info on the page for you: https://enicar.org/product/enicar-sherpa-date-automatic-purple-dial/

Hi Sam, what info are you looking for? Size, colours or perhaps position of the pins? Then maybe I can help, I have a few of these pixelled dials from old stock.

There's one on Yahoo auctions in Japan. You can bid and buy using Buyee - https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/t1004974301

Hi Jim,

I have two projects that I might put one in. One is an Ocean Pearl case that fits a 11.75’’’ ligne movementI (have not Purchased the movement yet). The dial will need to be 27.3mm to 28.8mm. The other is for a similar case that I have not yet received, so no measurements yet. Preferred colors are red or blue. I don’t now what to do about the posts.

Hi Sam, found my dials and made some Pics, and measured. Interesting fact is that there are flat dials and also some that are slightly curved !!
Both types I own are +/- 29mm
As far as I have the pixelled dials there came in several colors: darkbrown, silver, and grey (flat) while my curved ones are green, reddish brown, and blue.
On both types the positions of the posts are identical, near 11 and near 6.
Hope this may be of help with your projects, all the best
Don

Hi Don,

Thanks a lot for taking the photos and measurements! Hopefully, the post position is at least somewhat universal. Maybe the flat ones are for quartz movements. Anyway, I would like to purchase one or two if possible.

Thanks, Sam
