Case and Body Workmanship

▼▼ Full ceramic case. The case diameter of this watch is 45.5 mm; It is quite assertive and eye-catching. The case of each "Deep Black" watch is made from a single piece of black ceramic, which is another striking feature of the watch. It is also a true first in Omega's Seamaster Planet Ocean series. The matte-treated case exudes a light but attractive shine; The unidirectional rotating bezel and dial are also made of black ceramic. Thus, the "Deep Black" concept is preserved throughout.

Dial and Hand Details

▼▼ The black polished ceramic dial has four hands, including the hour, minute, seconds and GMT hands, arranged coaxially. The hands and hour markers are made of white 18K gold and their surfaces are coated with white Super-LumiNova lume coating. In the dark, the minute hand glows green, while the other hands and hour markers glow blue; This allows you to read the time easily and clearly.

▼▼ The unidirectional rotating 60-minute diving bezel makes it easy to measure elapsed time during a dive and prevents inaccurate time calculations due to accidental rotation. There is a lume dot on the bezel as the zero point; The diving markings are made with Liquidmetal technology.

Glass and Sapphire Crystal

▼▼ The helium release valve prevents helium molecules expanding during decompression from bursting the watch's sapphire glass and case back. Omega's classic logo is engraved on the crown on the side, and its sides are supported by anti-slip texture.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

▼▼ Black rubber strap gives a feeling of knitted fabric texture with contrasting white stitching. Paired with a ceramic coated titanium folding clasp; The inner surface of the buckle is decorated with wave patterns and covered with antibacterial coating, it fits the wrist better and offers comfortable use.

Movement and Caliber Performance

▼▼ The integrated replica 8906 movement produced by VS Factory, that is, the VS-exclusive 8906 movement, is the only movement that can perform all functions, including GMT, exactly the same as the original. It is extremely close to the original in appearance; Its stability has proven itself over time, it works very stable and the failure rate is quite low.

Looking at the details, the craftsmanship and grip feel of this VS Factory replica watch are first-class; It is a truly meticulously prepared and sincere work.

In contrast to the full ceramic case released by VS, some replica manufacturers in China also very quickly released versions with a steel case coating such as PVD/DLC (that is, a layer of black paint applied to the steel case). As everyone knows, no matter how good the coating is, problems such as oxidation and color change occur over time; In bad coatings, the paint may even flake off in pieces. It is also possible for the paint to peel off due to sweat or friction in daily use. For example, situations like the following ▼▼

However, the full ceramic case released by the original and VS can completely, yes literally, prevent these problems seen in coated cases. There are no problems such as oxidation, color change, corrosion caused by sweat or fading in high hardness matte black ceramic; Moreover, it can withstand normal daily friction. Even if you rub a metal screwdriver back and forth on the case, no scratches occur. For daily maintenance, simply wipe it with a damp cloth; Every time it is as clean as the first day. Therefore, the "Deep Black" version of VS is resistant to scratches, wear and oxidation. For watch lovers who are very concerned about the case getting scratched during use (scratches are normal in metal cases), this full ceramic cased Planet Ocean will definitely be very pleasing; Just wipe it from time to time and it becomes shiny again ▼▼

This “Deep Black” isn’t as simple as just “ceramic case”; It is infinitely close to the original, from the raw material of the ceramic to the mixing ratio and the firing process. The entire case isn't just aimed at visual similarity; The entire internal structure and parts of the case are also replicated infinitely close, 1:1. This "Deep Black" case structure features two pioneering innovations: the "integrated ceramic case" and the brand new ceramic Naiad lock technology patented by Omega.

If we have come this far, now let's look at the details below

VS presentation: Full black ceramic Planet Ocean 600M "Deep Black" — scratch-resistant, not afraid of wear!

1: VS production integrated 8906 mechanism and integrated natural rubber strap are used.

2: A breakthrough in Omega's patented case-back technology. Thanks to its one-step "naiad" lock structure, it is locked with a slight turn and the inscriptions on the back of the case always remain in a fixed position. Locking does not affect waterproofness at all. (Ceramic machining is more than 10 times harder than metal machining.)

3: The entire interior and exterior structure is completed by processing from a single piece of ceramic.

4: Titanium logo interlocking technique with ceramic and ceramic coated titanium buckle.
