VS Factory Omega Seamaster 600 GMT Tai Chi Bezel Review

The Omega Planet Ocean model is produced by VS Factory with a high-tech ceramic case, standard case diameter and high-precision automatic Super Clone mechanism architecture. 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.

Case and Body Workmanship

316 stainless steel case, ceramic rotating bezel, laser engraving and vacuum plating hour markers are used; It feels like a sandblasted, protruding texture. There is a date window at three o'clock, lume filled; The dial surface has been upgraded to a smooth and shiny lacquered surface — while the regular versions on the market have a matte sand texture. The helium release valve on the left serves a purely decorative function. Case diameter is 43.5 mm, thickness is 16.5 mm. Slightly more expensive than Planet Ocean in the same series; because this is a multifunctional model, it has a GMT hour hand and also offers very strong water resistance. GMT means two different time zones; Panerai 441 and Rolex GMT-Master are also such multi-hand designs. Adding an extra hour hand is a test of the factory's technical proficiency, and VS Factory handles it with ease! Synchronizing all the functions of the watch with the original, on a ground where general workmanship is superior, is a feat belonging to the only replica factory that can currently achieve this; VS Factory has done a really good job here!

The outer bezel is entirely ceramic and can rotate bidirectionally. It has a sandblasted, ridged texture with laser engraved and vacuum coated hour markers. It is no longer like the ordinary paint-filled versions on the market; In those versions, the bezel surface was shiny and flat, but here there is a three-dimensional feeling that maintains its black and white clarity! The dial is made of ceramic material; Sapphire glass is used on the watch glass and a double-layer blue anti-reflective coating is applied. One layer on the outer surface of the glass, one layer on the inner surface; Thus, the dial can be seen clearly even in strong light, and it does not prevent the time reading under all conditions.

Dial and Hand Details

There is a date window at three o'clock; Details such as the font, hour markers, and hour and minute hands are very well done, and the lume fill is also very full and there is no overflow. The dial surface has been raised to the same level as the original; It is a smooth and shiny lacquered surface, no longer the matte sand texture of the ordinary versions on the market.

As a stainless steel watch, Tai Chi Bezel uses 316 stainless steel case material here as well. Side surface processing has been done with great care; Distinctive corners have been created on the edge lines, the upper part is polished, the lower part is finished with brushed workmanship, and the effect is clearly visible. The curve of the case is also very successful, the crown logo is almost exactly the same; These adjustments to the details have reproduced the original design to the maximum extent!

A transparent case back design is used on the back; The stainless steel around the case back is highly polished with polished treatment, the engravings are clear and smooth. The elegant details of the mechanism inside can be seen completely through the sapphire crystal glass in the middle. This Tai Chi Bezel model also carries the newly upgraded VS Factory in-house movement 8906; It has a double mainspring box and a bi-directional automatic winding. You can adjust the date independently by simply turning the hour hand separately, and the shock absorber is also made the same as the original. Every screw and every stone has a real function; It is not an empty “deck mechanism” so to speak.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

The buckle design is also very user-friendly; The snap-button design is used, it is very comfortable when worn, at the same time, its function and workmanship are strong and it gives a very high quality feeling.
