Review: VS Factory OMEGA Seamaster 600m GMT Dual Time Zone Series 215.30.44.22.01.001 Men's Diving Wristwatch with Steel Bracelet

Review with comprehensive comparative analysis of Factory Omega Seamaster 600M Gmt Double Time Zone Series 21530442201001 Steel models: Case finishes, movement precision, dial details and production tolerances are examined in detail with Saat Dedektifi expertise standards.

It was introduced for the first time at the 2016 Basel Watch Fair. It is Omega's first highly anti-magnetic GMT watch produced with one-piece bi-color ceramic technology and a model that has been upgraded to Master Chronometer certification. When you look at the photo taken from the front, don't you think it gets more beautiful the more you look at it? It is a little more dignified than the version with a 1/4 orange bezel; The black-white contrast adds an additional serenity to it. It's the kind of piece that gets loved the more you look at it.

Case and Body Workmanship

This model with a yin-yang bezel has a case diameter of 43.5 millimeters. The most striking feature of the watch is its incredibly eye-catching black and white ceramic bezel. Produced in one piece, the black and white ceramic bezel reveals Omega's extremely high level of craftsmanship; It also represents day and night. The yin-yang bezel and GMT hand complement each other and the watch no longer remains purely sporty.

The bi-directional rotating gear outer bezel, together with the numerical markings and inner ring decoration, resemble a precision measuring device; This design is also very young and stylish. VS has done a very good job with details such as font, hour markers and hour and minute hands in the new product; The lume filling is also full, there is no sign of overflow.

Glass and Sapphire Crystal

Sapphire glass is extremely clear; Both sides of the glass are treated with anti-reflective coating. When viewed through the glass, the inside of the dial looks complete, and the light transmittance is excellent. Previously, the glass in the same Seamaster 600m model produced by other factories did not show the hour markers clearly in strong light and gave a hazy appearance due to technical constraints. This newest glass is extremely clear; No matter which angle you look at it, you can read the values ​​clearly under light. VS has done this very successfully. The dial surface has also been upgraded to the same level as the original: a bright and smooth varnish surface; It is no longer the matte sand texture of ordinary versions on the market.

The case is made of 316L stainless steel and processed by polishing process. The winding feel of the crown and the logo on it are very well crafted. The helium release valve on the left can rotate, but for now it has only a decorative function. Of course, we will not use this feature in daily use anyway; Therefore, you can ignore it, there is no need to worry too much about this issue.

Movement and Caliber Performance

VS Factory carries the completely renewed VS Factory in-house caliber 8906. With double mainspring and bi-directional automatic winding; The date can be adjusted by adjusting the hour hand alone. The shock absorber has also been brought to the same level as the original; This is the first shock absorber with real functionality. Each screw and stone has a real function, not just decorative like on the market anymore.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

The stainless steel bracelet is made with the same smooth workmanship throughout. The contacting parts of each link of the bracelet are neatly processed; The friction is reduced as much as possible, so the whole bracelet looks more fluid, does not get stuck and does not bother the hand. The buckle is Omega's swivel folding buckle; The writings on the buckle are clear and distinct, the texture is great. The Omega logo on the buckle is deeply engraved and its size is just right.

In terms of handling, the 43.5-millimeter size obviously offers more charisma than the black Submariner; The experience on the wrist is moderate. The downside is that it is a bit thick and heavy; It is not suitable for people with thin wrists.
