NH34 vs NH35 Dial, Hand and Case Compatibility

Can NH35 dials fit NH34, and can NH34 dials fit NH35? Yes, within DailyTime's current tested supplier/product ecosystem. DailyTime has confirmed both directions in actual paired assembly. Our tested hour, minute and second hands, cases, movement holders, stem/crown assemblies, date alignment, and crystal/hand-stack clearance also passed within that same scope.

This is DailyTime's first-party installation experience, not a universal compatibility guarantee for aftermarket parts. An untested third-party dial, case, hand set or special construction needs its own check.

What DailyTime has actually verified

DailyTime's operational evidence supports a scoped assembly conclusion: NH34 and NH35 are compatible across the components tested in our current supplier/product ecosystem. The evidence classification is verified within DailyTime's tested scope. It does not publish numerical measurements, a sample count or a list of independently certified third-party parts.

For a proposed build, provide the exact movement, dial, hands, case, holder, crown and crystal references so we can confirm whether the combination falls inside the tested scope.

NH34 vs NH35: the official technical context

TMI's NH3 Technical Guide and Operation Manual establish the calibre facts below. They provide manufacturer context; DailyTime's paired assemblies provide the compatibility evidence.

TMI NH34A and NH35A specifications
Field NH34A NH35A
Total movement height 5.32 mm 5.32 mm
Frequency 21,600 vibrations/hour 21,600 vibrations/hour
Static accuracy -20 to +40 seconds/day -20 to +40 seconds/day
Duration when fully wound More than 41 hours More than 41 hours
24-hour hand Present Not present

Sources: TMI NH3 Technical Guide, PDF page 2 (printed page 1), and TMI Operation Manual, page 1. The stated static accuracy has TMI measurement conditions, including testing 10-60 minutes after full winding and outside calendar operation. It is not a promise of identical performance in every finished watch.

Frequently asked compatibility questions

Can NH35 dials fit NH34?

Yes, the NH35 dials used in DailyTime's tested ecosystem fit NH34 in our actual assemblies. This does not establish the centre-hole dimensions, dial feet or date-window layout of an unknown supplier's dial.

Can NH34 dials fit NH35?

Yes, DailyTime has verified this direction within the same tested ecosystem. Keep the scope attached to the answer: it is a tested assembly result, not a claim about every dial sold with an NH34 or NH35 label.

Are NH34/NH35 hands interchangeable?

DailyTime's tested hour, minute and second hand sets worked in the paired assemblies. Untested hand sets need confirmation of their fitting and installed clearance. The NH34's additional 24-hour hand is a separate function; this result does not claim that an NH35 provides GMT operation or that a GMT hand transfers to NH35.

Can an NH34 fit an NH35 case?

The tested case and movement-holder combinations passed at DailyTime. Matching nominal movement height alone does not prove complete case compatibility. A new case can change holder seating, stem alignment, dial seating, caseback fit and clearance above the hands.

Are the stem and crown interchangeable?

Our tested stem/crown assemblies passed. Both official parts lists identify winding stem 0351 200: NH34A parts list, PDF page 2, and NH35A parts list, page 1. Shared-part evidence does not establish every crown's thread, case-tube relationship or final stem length.

What about GMT and crystal clearance?

DailyTime verified crystal and hand-stack clearance in the tested assemblies, including the NH34 build. This does not supply a universal clearance dimension. A different crystal profile, dial seating height or hand shape requires checking the complete assembly.

Will the date window align?

Alignment passed with the tested DailyTime dial/date combinations. Do not assume an untested dial aperture or special layout has the same result.

Known caveats before choosing parts

  • Keep the conclusion limited to DailyTime's current tested supplier/product ecosystem.
  • New suppliers, special dial geometry and unknown aftermarket components are outside that evidence scope.
  • Successful assembly does not itself certify water resistance after opening or modifying a watch.
  • Confirm the exact build with DailyTime before ordering parts for an untested conversion.
