The VS Omega Seamaster 300m V4 edition has made significant upgrades, particularly with its VS 8800 integrated movement, closely mirroring the authentic Omega 8800 in both form and function. This remarkable replica features several enhancements that distinguish it from older versions.
One of the key highlights of the VS 8800 movement is its date-setting mechanism, which matches the original exactly by rotating the crown counterclockwise. Furthermore, this movement offers a power reserve of 54 hours, just one hour shy of the genuine model’s 55 hours, and a marked improvement over the 2824 movements, which only store 41 hours of energy.
Unlike the 2824 with its faux components glued together, the VS 8800 showcases genuine functionality, with real jewels, gears, and screws, ensuring durability and reducing the risk of malfunction. The craftsmanship extends to the movement’s aesthetic; the diameter is an impressive 26.5mm, identical to the authentic version, and only 4.65mm thick, providing a sleek profile.
Additionally, the surrounding shape of the balance wheel and the engraving on the main plate perfectly replicate the authentic Omega’s look and texture. These details make the VS 8800 a worthy contender for anyone seeking a high-quality Omega Seamaster replica without the hefty price tag.
