The tough appearance, professional diving pedigree, and James Bond-like halo blessing have made it flow from the beginning. Among the many replicas,V4 version of Haima 300 launched by VS Factory, with a key upgrade – a change of clothesDandong integrated 8800 movement, completely establishing itself as the “industry benchmark”.
Today we are going to talk about this watch and see what its strengths are and whether it is worth buying.
Let’s start with the first impression. The moment you get it, you will find that it is full of weight——The entire watch weighs 194 grams, almost the same as the original. The diameter of the watch is 42 mm and the thickness is 13.5 mm. The proportions are well-coordinated, making it look majestic when worn on the hand without weighing down the wrist. The stainless steel watch case uses a combination of brushing and polishing techniques, with clean lines and a full texture between light and shadow, which does not look like a “cheap product” at all.
The bezel isBlack precision ceramic material, wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, with a warm and moist luster. The most eye-catching thing is the two-color luminous spot: it is low-key and restrained during the day, and it glows green at night, making it highly recognizable. The rotation feels smooth and damped, and the one-way locking mechanism is accurate and reliable, truly achieving “both form and spirit”.
The Ω logo on the crown is three-dimensional and full, with rounded edges and smooth twisting. Although the helium escape valve next to it is mostly decorated, VS has not neglected the details – there is a pink waterproof rubber ring hidden inside, which is consistent with the original factory, and it directly adds a sense of ceremony.
The sapphire mirror is as transparent as crystal, and underneath is the iconicWave-patterned black ceramic dial, the three-dimensional relief effect is very obvious. The time scales and hands are all treated with three-dimensional stone carvings, and the luminous filling is full and even. After getting started, it emits blue-green light in the dark, making it clear and easy to read. The font printing is neat and powerful, and the position and size of the words “OMEGA” and “SEAMASTER” are all aligned, without any sense of inconsistency.
The calendar window is also madeStep window treatment, the fonts are clear and sharp, and the edges are burr-free, which many small factories simply cannot do. The strap part continues the brushed + central polished design, the link is smooth, the buckle has deep and powerful engravings, the opening and closing feels solid, and it is not easy to loosen after long-term wear.
What really makes this watch “reborn” is the behind-the-scenesIntegrated 8800 movement。
In the past, many replica watches used a “splinting machine”, which added a decorative plywood to an ordinary movement to pretend to be original. As a result, the flaws can be seen as soon as you get started: the balance wheel is in the wrong position, the dynamic reserve is short, and the adjustment logic is confusing. And VS used this timeDandong integrated 8800 movement, is a truly integrated structure that restores the operating logic of the original 8800 movement from the underlying architecture.
Looking through the sapphire bottom cover, you can see that the entire movement has a regular layout, the splints are finely polished, the ruby bearings are truly visible, and the color is transparent. The balance wheel is located at 6 o’clock, and the black balance wheel component below is restored to its original position. The only difference is that it has a card hairspring (the original one has no card), but this has minimal impact on daily travel time.
In terms of performance,Power reserve up to 54 hours, only 1 hour less than the original, with high winding efficiency and strong stability. Function adjustment is also completely synchronized with the original version:
- Pull out the first gear: adjust the calendar counterclockwise
- Pull out the second gear: adjust the time
- The crown is locked when pushed back, and the operation logic is exactly the same.
What’s more considerate is that VS can now alsoComes with a high quality black rubber strap, the texture is soft and close to the skin, suitable for summer or swimming. One watch and two straps, you can switch between business and leisure at will, greatly improving the practicality.
