Nautilus Hands - Polished Silver

Swiss Lume

The Sport Handset. Nautilus Profile. Polished Silver.

The silver Nautilus hand is the most versatile of the Nautilus builds — the neutral baseline that works across sport dials, heritage dials, and anything in between. Polished silver reads as neither warm nor cold, which means it doesn't dictate the rest of the build's colour direction.

Filled with 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 Grade A for the blue glow that has become the standard for serious sport builds. Consistent full-body charge, up to 8 hours at night.

The neutral sport hand.
Silver Nautilus hands work across almost any dial. The BGW9 lume makes them work at night too.

Nautilus profile, mirror-polished silver.
The rounded, substantial sport shape in a clean polished silver finish. The profile is consistent across H and M — no tapered tips or shaped cutouts, just a reliable sport hand that reads clearly at any size.

BGW9 Grade A — full-body lume fill.
100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 Grade A. Blue glow for up to 8 hours. The lume fills the full hand body for consistent output whether the watch has been outside all day or under fluorescent office light.

Heads up — hands are one part of the build

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.

Polished silver watch hands praised for "exceptional quality" and "beautiful lume." Customers said they "fit perfectly" with excellent finish and proportions. Fast delivery noted. One customer mentioned lume is weaker than other BGW9 components, hoping for improvement. Overall, "top notch" quality that pairs well with various dials.

  • Exceptional quality and look fantastic, delivered in record time much earlier than expected
  • Lume and finish is excellent. They look awesome!
  • High quality finish and really helpful customer service. Received order within 3 days

Not the brightest Lume

Over all quality and construction of the hands are very good. Unfortunately the lume is pretty weak in comparison to most other bgw9 components I’ve been using (including various LA dials). Photos don’t show this because of the sensitivity on most camera sensors. I hope they revise these and double down on the lume.
Also would like to see a larger bolder size of the available

Hi, Will these hands fit a PT5000 movement?

Adriel from LuciusAtelier.com

Hi Manith,

Thanks for your question and for expressing interest in our mod parts!

Our hands are specifically manufactured to fit NH movements, and we do not officially support compatibility with other movements like the PT5000. If they happen to fit, it would be purely coincidental.

I would recommend checking the technical specifications—particularly the hand hole sizes—of the PT5000 movement and comparing them against NH standards to determine potential compatibility.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Adriel
