Lance Hands - Blue Heated Steel

The Sport Handset. Lance Shape. Thermally Blue.

A spear-pointed sport handset, heat-treated to a deep blue. The lance shape tapers to a fine tip that reads cleanly across the dial — at home on heritage military builds and contemporary mods alike. Lucius Atelier was the first to bring thermally blue heated steel hands to the Seiko modding community.

The colour isn't paint or coating — it comes from the steel itself, heat-treated until it oxidises to a rich, characteristic blue. That process is what makes it striking, and also what makes it delicate. Handle with care.

Blue that earns its colour.
No dye, no coating — thermally treated steel that carries its hue all the way through. A handset this considered asks for a builder who is too.

Heads up — hands are one part of 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

Thermally blue heated steel is softer and more malleable than standard brass hands — that's the trade-off for the colour. These hands bend and deform very easily when handled with anything other than proper hand-setting tools. Recommended for experienced watchmakers with precision tools only. Note that no replacements are provided for the blue heated hands, so install them only once you're confident in the fit.
