The Sport Handset. Mercedes v2 Profile. Polished Black.

The v2 Mercedes is a redesigned handset — slimmer, more symmetrically angled, and proportioned to sit cleanly on modern dial layouts without dominating the hour markers. The polished black finish reads as a graphic element on the dial: high contrast against light dials, tonal and refined against black ones.

Filled with 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 Grade A in multiple layers for a brighter charge than the original. The three-arm silhouette is immediately legible; the improved lume keeps that legibility in the dark.

Redesigned for the modern build.
Slimmer profile, brighter lume, cleaner proportions — the Mercedes shape updated for today's dial landscape.

v2 — slimmer, symmetrically angled.
The redesigned profile sits more lightly on the dial than the original Mercedes hand. Symmetrically angled edges, polished black finish — the detail that reads as intentional rather than generic on a sport build.

BGW9 Grade A — multilayer fill.
Multiple layers of 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 Grade A. The improved build delivers a brighter charge and more even glow across the full hand body — up to 8 hours.

Heads up — hands are one part of the 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.

Explorer-ish Homage

Let me preface this review by saying this is my first foray into seiko modding. I also didn't really mod a watch so much as assemble a watch.

I solicited some advice from Lucius Atelier, and Adriel promptly responded with answers to my questions. From there, he and I exchanged a handful of emails before I finally settled on the parts and components I needed to complete my build. Before I ever recieved my shipment, Adriel's prompt and inciteful assistance made me an instant Lucius Atelier fan. Three or four days later, all my components (EC36MM explorer case, white enamel dial, black Mercedes hands, and a regulated NH36) arrived in central Arkansas. Their arrival only further solidified my initial impression. The fit, finish, and overall quality was wonderful. Again, I have very little prior experience with watch components to give a definitive comparison, but compared to the handful of other complete watches in my collection, the Lucius Atlier build is right there with the best of 'em.

I will absolutely be back for another build, in what I have a feeling, will be the very near future.
