Mercedes Hands - BGW9 - Polished Silver

Notify me when this product is available:

Discontinued. A newer and improved version, v2, is available here.

The Sport Handset. Mercedes Profile. BGW9 Swiss Lume.

The Mercedes hand is named for the three-arm logo it resembles — a wide, three-pointed hour hand that has been a staple of sporty and tool watch dials for decades. This is the original version: polished silver finish, filled with 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 for blue-glowing night legibility.

A newer and redesigned v2 is available with slimmer proportions and improved multilayer lume. This listing remains for builders who prefer the original profile.

The Mercedes hand is the sport handset benchmark.
Wide, legible, and instantly readable at a glance — the choice for any dive or sport build.

Three-arm Mercedes profile, polished silver.
The wide, three-pointed silhouette that defines tool watch dial language. Polished to a mirror finish, it reads cleanly against both dark and light dials.

BGW9 Swiss lume.
100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9. Blue glow, up to 8 hours after charge — the standard for serious mod builds where night legibility matters.

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.
