The Date Mod Gold Black Dial lands at the intersection of dress-watch elegance and daily-wear practicality. Gold accents against a deep black dial is one of the most enduring two-tone combinations in watch design — formal enough for an evening event, understated enough to wear with a white shirt on a Tuesday. MedoMods builds this piece in three case sizes (36 mm, 39 mm, and 41 mm) so you can pick the proportion that suits your wrist and aesthetic preference, all powered by the same reliable NH35 automatic movement.
The NH35 automatic inside the Date Mod is the workhorse of choice for serious mod builders: hacking seconds, hand-winding, and a power reserve of approximately 41 hours. The date complication at three o'clock is driven mechanically by the movement, advancing cleanly at midnight without any battery or electronic intervention. The transparent case back is a standard feature on this model, giving you a direct view of the movement's oscillating rotor — a satisfying daily reminder that something genuinely mechanical is keeping your time.
The 316L stainless steel case is available in 36 mm, 39 mm, and 41 mm (all measurements excluding the crown). The two-tone treatment — gold-coloured accents against brushed steel — gives the case a warmth that pure steel cannot match. A sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment and a 5 ATM water resistance rating (suitable for hand-washing, not for diving) round out a solid specification sheet. The Jubilee-style stainless steel bracelet adjusts from approximately 14.5 cm to over 22 cm, and a free bracelet-sizing tool ships with every order.
The black dial uses gold-toned applied indices and hands that catch the light as the wrist moves. The date aperture is clean and positioned at three, the most traditional location, balanced by the symmetry of the dial layout. Depending on your variant choice, the dial ships with or without logo — a clean option for those who prefer the look of a bespoke piece with minimal branding. The fluted bezel detail adds a touch of formal architecture that reinforces the dress-watch character of this build.
The Jubilee-style bracelet is more than a stylistic choice — its multi-link construction distributes weight evenly and sits comfortably on the wrist without the stiffness of a simple three-link bracelet. The 36 mm and 39 mm options are particularly well-suited to smaller wrists or anyone who prefers a less imposing presence; the 41 mm version has the confidence of a proper dress-sport watch. All three sizes share the same movement, crystal, and construction quality.
Each Date Mod is assembled, regulated, and inspected before dispatch. Orders ship tracked. If you want a gold-and-black dress-sport automatic — with genuine sapphire, genuine NH35, and a size choice — the Date Mod Gold Black Dial offers real value without pretence.

A Seiko mod is a modified watch that uses an authentic Seiko movement, combined with third-party high-quality parts. Most of our watches come in stainless steel with sapphire crystal.
It usually takes 10–12 days from order to delivery. The reason: we build every watch by hand only after you order it. It then goes through quality control, and only after that do we ship it. With Priority Build (an optional extra for €9.99, chosen on the product page) your watch moves to the front of the bench.
Absolutely. Send us an email with your order number and full name after ordering, stating your desired design or that you want to remove the logo. You can also leave a note at checkout, or contact us before ordering.
Yes. Every watch comes with a 2-year warranty from delivery. It covers manufacturing defects and functional problems under normal use. It doesn't cover scratches, damage from opening the watch, or water damage. If your watch is rated 5 ATM, hand-washing and rain are fine. Avoid diving, hot water and showering.
MedoMods is run by AM GbR, based in Leimen near Heidelberg, Germany. Our address and VAT ID are in the legal notice. You pay through Stripe, for example by card, PayPal or Klarna, and your card details never reach us. For deliveries to the UK, USA and Australia, we offer 14-day returns from delivery. We do not charge an additional restocking fee. We issue refunds within 4 calendar days after receiving the return. Every watch comes with a 2-year warranty. You can find our seller ratings on eBay.
We push prices down as much as we can. We believe many comparable watches are overpriced because shops bundle extras (like extra straps) into the price. We let you choose what you want, so you only pay for what you actually need.
Yes. We source from suppliers who sell authentic Seiko movements. The specific movement is listed on each model’s product page. If you suspect that your watch contains the wrong movement or a non-genuine one, contact us with your order number and a description.

„Bei einer Mod-Uhr war ich wegen der Verarbeitung vorsichtig. Mein Blick fiel auf die Gestaltung: die klassische Date-Optik, die schwarze Farbgebung und das goldfarbene Finish. Die Umsetzung überzeugt.“
