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.

Heads up — hands are one part of the build

Dial. Hands are paired with a dial. Browse the full dial collection to find your match.

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

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.

Customers praised these polished silver watch hands for "exceptional" quality and "insane lume" with BGW9 luminous material. The finish is described as "flawless" with perfect polishing. Shoppers appreciated the brightness and blue-green lume color. One customer noted hands are "a little too fat" preferring a sleeker design. Ideal for watch modding projects.

These hands have the most insane lume I've seen aftermarket!
I have not found any other handset that can match the quality of these.
Perfect finishes and attractive lume. Super high quality!

Simply the best!

I bought some Mercedes hands locally and was disappointed with the quality. These hands from LA are the opposite and it would be hard to find anything better. I'm so pleased I'm thinking about buying another set!

Great Set!

I got this set of hands back in May but did not install them until last week. Now that I can see the completed mod, I can state that these hands are great. There were no issues during installation and the lume is as described.

Perfect Handset matching the Mother of Pearl Dial BGW9

A perfect match to the MOP dial using the same BGW9 lume! Paired with a 39mm fluted bezel case and generic datejust bracelet.

Fantastic!

Absolutely perfect watch hands! The brightness of the lume is amazing. 2 day shipping from Singapore to Los Angeles via DHL, wow! What I really liked was the personalized hand written thank you note, that was so nice. Also, the extra gifts of flashlight and finger cots was a pleasant surprise. This company goes above and beyond to put the customer first and provide high quality products. I'm a customer for life. Thank you.

Looks like DHL Express is doing a good job! =D Thank you so much Stroke! It's my pleasure and honour to have you as a customer. As always, reach out to me if you need any help. =)

Nice hands

The hands are great with great lume to match the dial. However are a little too fat like from the explorer 2 rather that the explorer 1. Would love to see a thinner sleeker version in future.

Thanks again for the feedback Mike. Definitely worth considering on a sleeker version.

I am totally mesmerised by your fully polished SKX007. A whole new species. You have convinced me to polished my SKX too. Haha =D

Nice Looking Watch Hands for your Seiko mod

I bought these to mod my SXK009 (Pepsi Dial) as I wanted something different. Have tried other aftermarket hands and the Luke was typically green and nowhere near the intensity of the dial. I like how with the blue lume it looks intentional that it’s not the same color lume and even if the intensity of the lume isn’t the same as the Seiko dial (I mean it’s tough to beat), these hands still look amazing. Thanks!

Thanks Dominic for your honest review! Just a little bit of information for those who are unaware: The human eye has the highest sensitivity to the green emission, when coming directly from sunlight into the dark (photopic vision). Hence, when blue and green emissions with equal amount of luminous pigment are compared side by side by human eyes, green will always look brighter. On another note, we are looking into option to increase the intensity of the BGW9 brightness by having multiple BGW9 layers. Due to increase Swiss BGW9 luminous pigment used, this will be available as a higher-end option as it commands a higher price. Keep a look out as we will be releasing IMPROVED LUME version on our hands soon.

Will these work with a skx013?
