Snowflake Hands v2 - Polished Silver

Swiss Lume

The Snowflake Handset. Broad Facets, Serious Lume. Mirror-Polished Silver.

Broad, flat-faceted hour and minute hands — the snowflake profile exists to carry lume, and wears it with the confidence of a proper sport watch. v2 brings redesigned dimensions for a cleaner sweep across the dial.

Each hand is filled with 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 — Grade A, the highest-grade BGW9 on the market — laid down in multiple layers for a long-lasting blue glow, set against a mirror-polished silver finish.

Lume pairs perfectly with our BGW9 parts.
Pair with a BGW9-lumed dial and the build glows as one piece, not an assembly.

Broad snowflake facets.
The wide, faceted profile catches light from every angle by day and carries far more luminous surface than a slender handset ever could by night.

Layered BGW9 Grade A.
Multiple layers of the highest-grade BGW9 on each hand — a deeper charge and a brighter, longer-lasting blue glow.

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.

Questions, Answered

Everything worth knowing before you build.

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.
