Seiko seems to be inconsistent in hands treatments

Some are capped, some are silver capped, blue capped - must be a cost? or styling? decision?
These two are the same, even though one is a manual wind and the other a quartz watch.
This is a Spring Drive with a nifty silver center on the second hand.
Whereas this Spring Drive doesn't have blue or silver cap
And this has silver hands and a cap (and a dial whose composition totally baffles me, because it is smooth but has depth - layers?! )
I've taken at least 100 pictures of this dial and this one is the only one that reveals both the GS logo and the lions.
Otherwise you see a smooth-ish surface with squares and faint horizontal lines.
Only strong lighting at just the right angle reveals what's underneath.
Sorry, minor diversion from the blue hand scheme
Here's my penance - another blue hander
