VS Factory Omega De Ville Bright Blue: Detailed comparative review of the original with the caliber 8500

The Omega Wristwatch 8500 model is produced by VS Factory with a solid 316L stainless steel case, 41 mm diameter and a high-precision automatic Super Clone mechanism. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

As the color with the shortest wavelength among the three primary colors, blue conveys the feeling of the purest and calmest light.

Blue represents the vast sky and endless ocean; That's why the image of freedom and hope is attributed to him.

Dial and Hand Details

Bright Blue; It is equipped with a striking blue dial, a blue hour ring and 18K white gold hour, minute and seconds hands. There is a date window at the 3 position and the scratch-resistant sapphire glass completely protects the dial. The watch has a 41 mm stainless steel case decorated with a sapphire inner case and a black leather strap. This eye-catching watch works with the Omega 8500 co-axial mechanism, and the operation of the movement can be clearly observed behind the transparent case.

Movement and Caliber Performance

We know that SSS and V6 factories also produced this watch before; However, thanks to the technical strength of VS and the strong advantage of the movement, I think that from now on, there will not be much left to factories other than the VS factory in the upper segment market of this watch.

Now let's look at the detail comparison; What follows are high-resolution real-time photos so that watch enthusiasts can compare them with the original. (No processing was done on the details of the photos, they were transferred completely naturally.)

▲General comparison: This time VS Factory produced from the original mould; All parts are exactly the same as the original. There is not the slightest difference from the original in terms of color tone and material.

▲Dial: Color tone is the same; The font and general appearance are identical to the original.

▲Comparing it with other versions, it is clear at first glance which one is better.

Case and Body Workmanship

▲Side profile comparison: The case is processed bright enough to reflect people; The texture looks extremely good. The side case is produced in one piece by CNC from 316L stainless steel; Its thickness and processing quality are exactly the same as the original. The curve of the case is very natural and fluid, without the slightest trace of inexperience.

▲Date window: VS, same as original; there is no gap. Other versions have a significant gap at the bottom, which gives away that they are replicas at first glance.

▲Part removal: Hour markers; Each small mark is individually produced with CNC technology and has a V-shaped cavity underneath, so it fits perfectly into the minute track ring, leaving no gap. The minute track ring is also the same as the original; The lines are smooth and unobtrusive.

▲Mechanism comparison: The mechanism is VS Factory's self-developed 1:1 8500 one-piece movement. Not only is the appearance the same; Every screw and stone of the mechanism has a real function, they are no longer ornamental pieces. The position and size of the balance wheel are exactly the same as the original; blackened screws, balance wheel and mainspring box, Nivachoc shock absorber ensure that the external details remain highly compatible with the original. With the quick hour setting, the date is adjusted by moving the hand, and this function works synchronously with the original. The movement uses a double mainspring box; The power reserve can reach 60-72 hours, the same as the original. The position of the shock absorber, even the time setting function, can be synchronized with the original (the date is no longer changed by quick setting, but by adjusting the hour hand in the same way as the original).

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

▲Strap comparison: The strap uses imported real crocodile leather, the same as the original; This both increased the similarity rate and brought its texture and comfort to a level that can be replaced exactly with the original. The buckle is one of the pieces where the workmanship is best seen; VS has been very careful in this regard, the engraving is deep, the original is successfully reflected and the polish is subtle. (In addition to the leather strap, there is also a steel bracelet option.)

General Evaluation and Conclusion

Overall, as can be seen from the detailed comparison above, this VS Factory Omega De Ville Bright Blue is produced from the original mold. Every detail on the exterior, including the size, dial color tone, hour markers and hour and minute hands, has reached the highest level of workmanship. Moreover, the movement inside is 8500 one-piece movement developed by VS Factory; This movement far surpasses all versions on the current replica market in terms of performance and workmanship. Combined with VS Factory's usual affordable price, it is definitely a model with a very high price-performance ratio.
