The Snowflake Handset. Broad Facets, Serious Lume. Polished Gold.

The snowflake handset is the big-lume icon of the sport-watch world — broad, flat-faceted hour and minute hands that trade slender dress proportions for honest luminous real estate. v2 brings redesigned dimensions for a cleaner sweep across the dial.

This is the improved gold edition: multiple layers of 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 are built up on each hand, so the blue glow runs noticeably brighter — and the polished gold finish does the daytime work.

Lume pairs perfectly with our BGW9 parts.
Match the handset to a BGW9-lumed dial and the whole face charges and glows as one.

Broad snowflake facets.
Wide, flat-faceted hour and minute hands give the snowflake its signature presence — maximum lume area, clean geometry, instant legibility.

Multi-layer BGW9, brighter glow.
The improved version stacks multiple layers of Swiss BGW9 on each hand. More pigment, more charge, a brighter blue in the dark.

Heads up — hands are one part of the build

Dial. Hands are paired with a dial. Browse the full dial collection to find the right face for the build.

Movement. Hands press onto the movement's pinions — check the fit list in the Specs tab against your caliber before ordering.

For experienced modders — handle with care

Due to the large surface area and the multiple layers of BGW9 luminous pigment on the hour hand, the lume is prone to cracking without the proper finesse during hand installation. This handset is only recommended for experts with a great level of finesse and a professional hand-setting tool.

Will these hands fit my movement?

Check the Fit Movements list in the Specs tab against your caliber. The handset fits a wide range of Seiko movements — including 7S, 4R, 6R, NE and NH families — because they share a common pinion pattern. If your caliber is on the list, these hands fit.

What are the pinion sizes?

Hour 1.50mm, minute 0.88mm, second 0.198mm. The pinion is the hole at the base of each hand that presses onto the movement — these dimensions match the standard Seiko pinion pattern shared across the calibers in the fit list.

Can I use these on a GMT (NH34) build?

The hour, minute and second hands fit the NH34. A GMT build also needs a separate GMT hand, which is not included in this set.

Do the hands come with lume?

Yes — these hands are filled with 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 Grade A, for a long-lasting blue glow at night, with a clean metal finish for daytime wear.

Why are the Snowflake hands prone to cracking, and are they hard to install?

The Snowflake's hour hand has a broad, flat face built up with multiple layers of BGW9 lume — the bright glow is exactly what makes it more installation-sensitive than a slimmer handset. Pressed with too little finesse, or without a proper hand-setting tool, the lume bed can crack. Seat the hands slowly and squarely with the right tool; for this reason the Snowflake is best suited to experienced modders rather than a first build. Cracking from installation is handling damage, not a manufacturing fault.
