VS Factory Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Sea Blue wristwatch 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.

In 2017, Omega produced a brand new watch using a single piece of ceramic again and created an extraordinary timer that combines GMT and diving functions: the Seamaster series Planet Ocean Sea Blue.

The color tone of this watch is a combination of blue and orange, and the blue tone is predominantly dominant; This is why the watch is called Sea Blue. The bold and fascinating color contrast is extremely attractive and is the main reason why many watch enthusiasts love this watch so much! Today, the replica made by VS Factory is the peak that the market can reach and is a truly successful replica model. Let's check out what the VS Factory replica is like!

White, black and gray are generally common in single color ceramics. The blue ceramic watch is really rare. VS Factory adds pigment to the ceramic material (zirconium oxide); Zirconium oxide is shaped by injecting it into the mold at 1000 bar pressure, followed by plasma sintering in an oven at 20000 degrees Celsius for 3 hours. After it is shaped by sintering, no post-processing can be done, it is shaped in one go; If color changes, irregular color distribution, sand voids or white spots occur after sintering, it is immediately scrapped! There is no turning back! Waste rate is very high! This makes mass production impossible. It's really hard!

However, we can say that VS Factory has done an extremely high-level job in replicating this watch. In the brushed and polished processing of the case, the workmanship of every detail has been handled perfectly. Changing the color of ceramic material is an extremely complex technique, and only when each production step is followed meticulously can the enchanting blue dreamed of emerge at the end.

Case and Body Workmanship

The first 15-minute markings of the ceramic bezel are decorated with a distinctive orange rubber, and this color looks even brighter and more eye-catching on the ceramic material. The lume point above 12 o'clock is also placed extremely well; It definitely does not resemble the poor quality workmanship of small workshops. VS Factory used real sapphire crystal glass in the glass; Processed with anti-glare high permeability treatment, extremely clear, scratch and friction resistant.

When viewed from the side, the classic brushing and polishing process can be seen, and the workmanship of the tooth structure is clearly visible. The workmanship is extremely fine; The distance and size between each tooth are very well adjusted, and the arch of the ears is also extremely elegant. There is an ear on the left and right side; There is a helium release valve on the left at 10 o'clock, but it has no practical function on the VS Factory model. The crown on the right has a classic screw-down design; The waterproof performance is strong and it is possible to set the time and date.

Movement and Caliber Performance

8906 one-piece movement is used; In fact, this is an improved version of the first 8500 one-piece movement, only the movement type is different. Some watch enthusiasts think that the VS Factory 8500 movement is a single piece, but it is not actually so. VS Factory Omega Seamaster 150 and Seamaster 600 meters also have one-piece movements. There is no need to stick to numerical types such as 8500, 8507 or 8906; The only reason why the mechanism type is different is that the original mechanism types are different for each watch model and the number on the steel stamp indicating the mechanism type changes during the printing process. Essentially, these are all the same one-piece mechanism.
