NH35 vs NH38: Date or No-Date
Choosing between the NH35 and NH38 comes down to one thing: do you want a date window?
The Difference
| Movement | Date | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| NH35 | Yes | Date dials |
| NH38 | No | Clean no-date dials, open hearts |
Why Go No-Date (NH38)
- Perfect symmetry: no window breaks the dial
- Cleaner look: pure minimalist design
- No alignment worries: nothing to line up
Why Keep the Date (NH35)
- Practicality: you check the date daily
- Match the dial: most dials expect a date window
- Modularity: the standard modding platform
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put an NH38 in a date-dial build?
No — a date dial needs a date window mechanism. The NH38 is for no-date dials only.
Are hands compatible?
Yes — hand posts are shared across the NH family. See our movement guide.
Is one more accurate?
No — both use the same base calibre. The only difference is the date mechanism.
