Among the many versions of the Omega Seamaster 300, the “Dark Black Warrior” from the VS factory has always been the dream watch of dark watch fans. Now, this classic has received a key upgrade——Fully equipped with Dandong 8806 integrated movement, not only the performance of the movement has improved, but the detail restoration is also closer to the original product. Is this upgrade worth buying? Today we will take you through an in-depth dismantling of the true strength of this “all-ceramic Black Warrior”.
First of all, this jet black Seamaster 300 is not an ordinary color scheme, but is made ofblack ceramic materialManufacturing: The case, bezel, buckle, and even the Omega logo are all made of high-hardness black ceramic. This material is not only wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, but also presents a low-key and deep matte texture. The bezel adopts a retro grain texture design, with black wax technology to fill the scales. It has rich visual layers. It has a matte feel but is delicate under the sun, which perfectly echoes the old style of the dial.
In terms of size, the table diameter is43.5mm(Different from the 42mm of the classic model), the thickness is about 14.5mm, the proportions are coordinated, and it will not look bulky when used. The mirror surface is made of highly transparent sapphire glass with a slight blue coating on the edge, which not only improves transparency but also effectively reduces reflection. What’s even more considerate is that VS uses fully transparent IO mirror processing, completely saying goodbye to blurry edges, and the visual experience is comparable to the original.
The details on the disk are the highlight: the three-dimensional hour markers and hands have been treated with AL graininess, and combined with frosted shading, create a strong retro military style. The luminous filling is full and even, and the luminous pearls are also edged with black ceramics + covered with sapphire, making the overall style highly unified. It is worth mentioning that after upgrading the 8806 movement,The central axis of the pointer is all changed to a solid structure., not only stronger, but also closer to genuine craftsmanship.
Of course, the biggest upgrade isDandong 8806 integrated movement. Compared with the old 2824 modified deck movement, the new movement has achieved three major leaps:
✅ Accurate alignment of balance wheel position——Adjusted from the original 10 o’clock position to 1 o’clock, which is completely consistent with the original product;
✅ Power reserve increased to 54 hours(The old model only lasts 40 hours), making daily wear more worry-free;
✅ The winding feels smooth and the gears are truly linked., bid farewell to “patch fake movement”, and the operating experience has been greatly upgraded.
The strap is made of highly elastic fluororubber material with a bright surface, soft to the wrist and resistant to aging. The buckle continues the all-ceramic design, the logo is clear and three-dimensional, the opening and closing feels solid, and the details are full of care.
In summary, VS’s jet black Seamaster 300 “Dark Warrior” not only creates a highly recognizable dark aesthetic visually, but also achieves a qualitative leap in movement stability, functional restoration and wearing experience through the blessing of the 8806 integrated movement. Whether it is for daily commuting, business occasions, or as a collection item, it can easily hold up the scene. It can be called a “low-key and connotative” high-imitation Omega masterpiece.
