Grand Seiko Dauphine Hands - Polished Silver - Luminous

Swiss Lume

The Dress-Watch Handset. Dauphine Facets. Lumed for the Dark.

A classically-styled handset that reads cleanly by day and glows by night. The Grand Seiko Dauphine Hands in Polished Silver — Luminous pair faceted, mirror-polished dauphine hands with a capped second hand, filled with Swiss BGW9 Grade A lume.

A handset is a small part, but it sets the character of the whole watch. The dauphine shape reads as classic, formal horology — the considered choice for a heritage dress build, not generic stick hands.

Built to pair across the catalogue.
Silver keeps a clean, tonal read by day, with a blue night-time glow that matches BGW9-lumed dials. As a standard NH-compatible handset, it fits any build in our dial collection — choose the dauphine for a dress watch, not a tool watch.

Faceted, polished, and lumed.
Each hand is faceted and mirror-polished in silver, then filled with 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 Grade A — a crisp light by day and a long-lasting blue glow at night. A polished handset is what makes a dial come alive.

Capped second hand.
A silver cap sits over the centre pinion, concealing it for a seamless, uninterrupted finish — the detail that separates a considered dress build from an assembled one.

Heads up — hands are one part of the build

Questions, Answered

Everything worth knowing before you build.

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.

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.

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.

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 watch hands for "exceptional quality" and "beautiful" mirror-polished finish. The BGW9 lume application was consistently noted as "fantastic" and bright. Shoppers loved the perfect fit for NH movements and watch builds. Minor issues included occasional scratched hands upon arrival and one case of seconds hand fitment. Fast shipping and excellent packaging were highlighted.

  • The finish is absolutely beautiful, and lume is fantastic!
  • The finishing on the hands is way beyond any other aftermarket parts I've seen
  • I love the look and sharpness of these hands! It's well finished and polished perfectly.

Perfect for my gift build

I built this for a friend as a wedding gift and these hands (used the deep fathom second) were the perfect finishing touch to bring it all together.
I gave it to him before the wedding and he swapped out his Fitbit and wore this instead haha

Outstanding Quality (as usual)

Hands are very fine and were packed so well. Haven't put them on yet, but I am sure they would dazzle on any dial..

Grand Seiko Lumed hands

The hands are well sized, fits the dial nicely. The blue lume is also great. However, the hour hand was scratched upon arrival, might be the packaging. Otherwise, it is a great product, recommended.

Almost perfect but with a seconds hand exception

So, this isn’t my fist set of these hands but definitely the first time I encountered a problem. The seconds hand was just a hair too small to fit comfortably on the pinion. But once I got it installed, the tube wasn’t mounted correctly to the hand which caused it to stick up on one side which required some additional physical manipulation of the hand to get it to sit parallel to the other hands properly. Required me removing and reinstalling several times. Not all that difficult for me as I’ve repaired and straightened bent hands before, but this was a brand new set that should have been better. Took quite awhile to get it to sit right. I'm sure if I had brought it up with Adriel, he would have taken care of me but I had a time constraint and had to get the completed watch shipped in time.

Amazing quality and customer service

I love the look and sharpness of these hands! It's well finished and polished perfectly. The size ratio is just right as well and reaches the indices right at the point. Also, the lume is well applied, bright, and even.

Extremely fast shipping despite pandemic circumstances.

Thank you so much for the amazing customer service Adriel!

Great product, great service

Got a nice, heavy movement holder and some GS style lumed hands for a build. The finishing on the hands is way beyond any other aftermarket parts I've seen - how do you polish such fine faceting?! Beautiful stuff!
Received the order super fast with great communication. Thank you!

I'll be back...

Amazing hands!

Hands were pristine. Packaged really well and safely, each of them were spotless.Love the blue lume as well.
Shipping time was super quick considering it came all the way from Singapore to the US in just a few days!
Super friendly and handwritten note inside package, it really makes you feel a sort of connection with the artist.

As a side note, this is my first time modding a watch and I found the tutorials on this site really helpful too. Couldn't have finished my project without them to be honest.
