Key Features
- Swiss-Made Luminous Hands: Crafted in Switzerland, these hands feature high-quality luminous material that charges quickly under light and provides a steady glow in low-light conditions. This ensures reliable visibility during night-time use or in dim environments—critical for a brand known for its tool-watch heritage and functional design.
- Exact Fit for ETA 6497-6498 Movements: Engineered to match the specifications of the Unitas ETA 6497 and ETA 6498 movements, these hands install directly without requiring modification, filing, or adjustment. This guarantees compatibility with Panerai models that use these movements, streamlining the replacement process.
- Black Finish for Authentic Appearance: The matte black finish complements the dark dials commonly found on Panerai watches, preserving the watch’s original aesthetic. The color is consistent across all three hands, avoiding any mismatched tones that might detract from the overall look.
- Multiple Sizes Included: The set includes properly proportioned hands: hour (10mm), minute (14mm), and chrono (3.5mm). These lengths are calibrated to align correctly with the dial markers, ensuring accurate time reading and balanced visual harmony on the watch face.
- Available in Multiple Colors: While this listing features black, identical hands are also offered in silver, gold, and rose finishes. This allows for customization based on dial color or personal style preferences. Additional movement types and finishes can be found in the seller’s store for broader compatibility.

The inclusion of all three hands in correct proportions means no additional sourcing is needed. For collectors seeking to preserve original aesthetics or enthusiasts aiming for a personalized touch, the availability of multiple finishes adds versatility. This makes the set suitable not only for repairs but also for customization projects where matching or contrasting hand colors enhance the overall design.
Important Notes
These are aftermarket replacement parts and are not manufactured or endorsed by Panerai. While they are designed to fit the specified ETA 6497-6498 movements, users should verify compatibility with their specific watch model before purchase—especially if the watch has undergone previous modifications or uses a non-standard configuration. Proper handling during installation is essential, as watch hands are delicate and can bend or break if mishandled.
