The California dial is back — and this orange version turned out better than I expected.

Roman numerals, Arabic numerals, snowflake hands, and a two-tone diver case.

It’s one of those designs that feels vintage without looking outdated.

I’ve just added a few new California dial options to the WatchModLab configurator, so now you can mix and match your own version.

What would you pair with a California dial?

One classic style, two very different feels.
The 36mm wears more refined and traditional.
The 40mm brings a little more presence to the wrist.
And the size is only the beginning.
Case, bezel, dial, hands, bracelet — every detail can be changed to make the watch feel more like yours.
There’s no single right answer when it comes to elegance.
36mm or 40mm — which would you choose?

A dress watch doesn’t have to be black, white, or silver.

For this build, I went with a rose-gold case, a warm pink textured dial, and a dark brown leather strap.

Nothing too loud — just soft tones, subtle texture, and a different kind of elegance.

That’s the fun of customization.

A few small changes can completely change the personality of the same base watch.

Would you keep it warm and refined, or go for something bolder?

Does a pilot watch really have to be black and white?

For this build, I started with the **Pilot Automatic** and changed just a few details — olive green, white numerals, red accents, and a matching strap.

Still functional. Still easy to read. Just with a little more character.

That’s the fun of customization.

The base model is only the beginning.

Would you keep the military green, or choose a completely different color?

A chronograph already has a lot going on, so for this build I kept things simple.

Silver dial, black subdials, black tachymeter bezel — clean, sporty, and understated.

I started with the Steel Chronograph in the configurator, then changed the details until it felt right.

That’s the part I enjoy most.

The base model is just the beginning. The final watch is up to you.

Would you keep it subtle, or go bolder?

Black and gold can feel completely different depending on how you balance them.

For this build, I kept the case and bracelet black, then added gold details on the dial, inner ring, and hands.

Simple parts on their own — but together, they create a completely different personality.

That’s the fun of customization.

Change the balance. Mix the details. Build what feels right to you.

More black, or more gold?

What does the ocean look like to you?

Deep blue and quiet? Wild and stormy? Or bright like a summer day in Hawaii?

For this build, I used the configurator to create something fresh and clean, then turned the preview into a real watch.

That’s the fun of customization.

Your ocean doesn’t have to look like mine.

Change the colors, the dial, the hands, the case — and create something completely different.

Anything is possible.

What would your ocean look like?

This configurator is still growing.

Every week, I’m adding new cases, dials, hands, straps, and more parts to mix and match.

Build one watch today, come back later, and you might create something completely different.

That’s the whole idea — more freedom, more combinations, and more ways to make a watch feel truly yours.

There’s no single “right” build.

Just keep experimenting until you find the one that feels right.

A dive-style dial in a Datejust-style case?

Some people might say it doesn’t belong.

That’s exactly why I wanted to try it.

To me, customization isn’t about following one “correct” combination. It’s about mixing cases, dials, hands, and bracelets until the watch feels right to you.

Know the rules. Break the rules. Build what you like.

What two watch styles would you mix together?

The final piece from Instinct & Wonder.
A hand-painted koi moving through dark water — a symbol of luck, but also of persistence.
To me, luck isn’t something you simply wait for.
Sometimes it appears after you’ve kept moving forward long enough.
That’s the message I wanted to leave with this final piece:
Trust your instincts. Stay curious. Keep moving.
What animal would you choose to represent luck?

The fourth piece from Instinct & Wonder — MIDNIGHT WOLF.
A full moon, a dark forest, and a wolf that doesn’t need to make noise to feel powerful.
To me, this piece is about a quieter kind of strength — calm, controlled, and completely sure of itself.
That’s what I love about custom watches. They can carry more than a design. They can carry a mood, a personality, even a way of seeing the world.
What do you see in MIDNIGHT WOLF — solitude, awareness, or strength?

The third piece from Instinct & Wonder — COSMIC WHALE.
A hand-painted whale drifting through the stars, somewhere between the ocean and the unknown.
To me, this piece is about wonder — staying curious, imagining what could exist beyond what we already know, and never needing every question to have an answer.
If you could send one animal into the stars, what would you choose?
