Teardrop Needle Hands - Polished Silver - Luminous

Swiss Lume

The Teardrop Needle Handset. Slender Steel. Polished Silver, BGW9.

The teardrop needle in mirror-polished silver — slender, counterweighted, and exact, with the kind of finesse usually reserved for independent watchmaking.

Each hand carries 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 Grade A — the highest-grade BGW9 on the market — so the needle profile stays legible long after the lights go out.

Lume pairs perfectly with our BGW9 parts.
Set against a BGW9-lumed dial, the fine needle and its markers glow in the same cool blue.

Teardrop needle silhouette.
Hair-fine, counterweighted, and unmistakable — the silhouette that turns a clean dial into a considered one.

BGW9 Grade A lume.
The highest-grade BGW9, glowing blue through the night and reading bright white by day.

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.
