The Dual Time Insert. Lumed Sapphire. For the SKX013.

The bezel insert is the ring you actually read. A 12/24-hour dual-time scale — a Swiss-made ceramic ring for tracking a second zone at a glance.

This one is set beneath a scratch-proof sapphire crystal. A 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 lume dot sits at 12 o'clock, matched to our BGW9 dials and hands so the whole watch glows one clean blue. Flat profile, adhesive-backed and pre-fitted — it seats on the SKX013 OEM bezel (or any similar-dimension bezel) the way Seiko fits its own.

Swap the insert, change the watch.
Same bezel, same case — a new face in minutes.

How does a bezel insert attach?

With a double-sided adhesive disc that's included and already fitted to the back of the insert. Peel the backing, line the insert up with your bezel — 12 o'clock to 12 — and press it down firmly for a few seconds. No press-fit, no glue, no tools; it seats the same way Seiko fits its own inserts.

Will an SKX007 insert fit an SKX013, or vice-versa?

No — SKX007 and SKX013 inserts are different diameters, so they aren't interchangeable. Match the insert to your case: SKX007/SRPD inserts for the SKX007 family, and SKX013 inserts for the SKX013, SKX015, SKX017 and other 7S26-0030 cases. If you're unsure, check the "Fit Models" line in the Specs.

What's the difference between a "slope" and a "flat" insert?

It's the top profile, not the fit. A slope insert angles up toward the crystal for a raised, more three-dimensional look; a flat insert sits level. Both seat on the same OEM (or similar-dimension) bezel — so pick whichever look you prefer; it doesn't change what it fits.

What are the bezel inserts made of?

Four lines, each with its own character: scratch-proof ceramic with a deep, glossy finish; lightweight aluminium; solid 316L stainless steel; and lumed sapphire.

Which bezel inserts glow in the dark?

Some do — look for a luminous pip at 12 o'clock. Every steel insert has one, and the BGW9 steel and lumed-sapphire lines use a 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 pip (a cool ice-blue glow, up to eight hours on a full charge). Three ceramic Submariner inserts — black, blue and green — carry a lume pip too.

Do I need a bezel to use a bezel insert?

Yes — the insert is the printed ring that sits inside your bezel, so you need a bezel to hold it. It fits the Seiko SKX013 (or SKX007) OEM bezel, or any aftermarket bezel of the same dimension. Replacing both at once? Grab the matching bezel from the "Pairs with" links. For a bezel from another brand we cannot confirm a fit — check with whoever supplied it.

Can I remove or reuse a bezel insert?

Yes. You can lift an old insert out with a thin, blunt tool — our bezel & insert install guide walks through removal. The adhesive disc is single-use, so once it's off it won't stick again — but you don't need a fresh insert to reseat one: cut a few small pieces of any double-sided adhesive tape, place them on opposite ends of the insert, line it up and press. It holds just fine.

What is BGW9 lume?

A specific Swiss Super-LumiNova phosphor — appears white-cream in daylight, glows ice-blue at night. The lume Lucius Atelier uses on most dials. Stock Seikos use Lumibrite (green glow); other modding shops often use C3 (green-yellow). BGW9's signature is the cool blue.

Customers praised this sapphire bezel insert for "top notch quality" and perfect fit. The dual-time feature adds functionality while the BGW9 lume performs excellently. Installation is straightforward with pre-applied adhesive. The sapphire material catches light beautifully and creates a refined, balanced look. One customer noted fragility during install.

SKX013 Sapphire Bezel Insert and Sub Bezel

I love my new sapphire bezel insert and submariner style bezel that i got from Lucius Atelier. Accidentally broke my first one by pressing too hard during the install but went very smoothly the second time. Both parts (the bezel and the bezel insert) fit perfectly and are very precisely made. The bezel insert is much smoother and more glossy looking than the ceramic inserts. The lume is amazing. Really happy with my purchase and will definitely shop here again. Adriel was very helpful and timely in his communication. Thanks again!

Gorgeous bezel insert and awesome service

The bezel is absolutely gorgeous!! The font size used is perfect, the lume is excellent, and it has the same shine with another Sapphire crystal I have on the dial.

Aside from the product itself, I really enjoy dealing with Adriel. Enthusiastic and so helpful when I asked about getting the dual time instead of submariner bezel insert.

Definitely pleasant buying experience and getting an excellent product.

Gorgeous

This sapphire bezel insert exceeded expectations. It has a perfect fit over the domed sapphire glass on my SKX013. It looks even better in person. The watch really pops now with the new insert.

Fantastic design

I previously used the ceramic dual-time insert from Nomoki, but I do have to admit that I much prefer this insert from LA. The font used for the numbers is thinner, and this made 2 big changes for the design of my mod.
1. The size of the text actually makes the insert/bezel look a bit smaller than what the Nomoki one did which seemed more prominent than the dial.
2. This made the entire design feel more balanced and refined, perhaps because the thinner text is more appropriate for the thinner indices used on the SNXS79 dial I used.

I'm super happy with this item. The quality control is also much improved over my previous ceramic insert as the numbers are all perfectly equidistant from each other as well is the inner and outer edges.

Special bezel

Bought an insert for my SKX013, makes it look distinctive and works well with the black modded case.

Perfect

Absolutely amazing

Just changing the insert gives you a different watch, in a good way.

Perfekt

All parts fits perfekt, im so happy about that! Now this skx is an unique piece of Art.

Great Purchase...

Great communication regarding my order and the quality of the products (bezel & bezel insert) was great, as well. Having the adhesive strip already on the bezel insert made installing it much easier. All-in-all, a great purchase from a great vendor.

Great Fitment!

The 12 Hour bezel gives the watch a new feature, the sapphire glass catches the light beautifully, the numbers are not too white (which I like), the fitment with coin bezel is great, the lume takes a little time to charge.
