Integrated Cal.8800 Movement Performance

This watch is fitted with the integrated Cal.8800 automatic movement.

During the timegrapher test, the movement recorded a daily rate of +10 seconds per day, an amplitude of 298°, a beat error of 0.1ms, and a beat frequency of 28,800 BPH.

The high amplitude and low beat error indicate stable operation during the inspection. Actual daily performance may vary depending on power reserve, wearing habits, temperature and resting position.

Dimensions and Wearing Experience

The measured case width is 42mm, the thickness is 13.6mm, and the total measured weight is 190.7g.

The classic 42mm case provides the familiar proportions of the Seamaster Diver 300M collection, while the measured weight gives the watch a substantial wrist presence. Combined with the balanced case profile, it offers a comfortable and solid wearing experience.

Sapphire Crystal and Ceramic Bezel

The watch features a sapphire crystal together with a ceramic bezel.

The sapphire crystal provides excellent clarity and everyday scratch resistance, while the ceramic bezel offers a durable surface that helps maintain its appearance during regular use.

Movement Version Notice

One important detail buyers should know is that two different movement versions are available for this model.

The earlier version uses a modified 2824 movement decorated to resemble the Cal.8800, while the higher-specification version uses an integrated Cal.8800 movement.

There is a noticeable price difference between these two versions. Buyers who specifically want the integrated Cal.8800 movement should confirm this requirement with the seller before placing an order to ensure they receive the correct version.

Overall QC Assessment

Based on this pre-shipment QC inspection, the VS Factory Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 42mm demonstrates excellent overall quality.

The integrated Cal.8800 movement performed steadily during testing, while the finishing, case construction, ceramic bezel and overall details are completed to a very high standard.

Among the versions currently available, this is one of the strongest options on the market. For buyers looking for the integrated Cal.8800 movement and refined overall finishing, it is a version well worth considering.
