It was about two weeks ago when VS Factory released the V4 edition of the Seamaster 300m No Time to Die replica, touted as the ultimate version with their newly developed super clone 8806 movement. This model, like the Seamaster Spectre, has undergone several improvements since its initial release. The first version featured a stainless steel case, while V2 introduced a titanium case. V3 upgraded to a titanium bracelet, and now V4 boasts the super clone 8806 movement. Some dealers claim higher version numbers, but VS Factory’s official improvements stop at V4.
The V3 edition is currently unavailable, leaving V2 and V4 as market options. V2 combines a titanium case with a steel mesh bracelet, while V4 is entirely titanium, weighing 96.9 grams – 4 grams lighter than the genuine watch.
The super clone 8806 movement represents a significant advancement, being an original development rather than a modified Sea-gull 2824. However, differences remain from the genuine Omega 8806, particularly in the balance wheel design. While not interchangeable with genuine parts like some other high-end replicas, it matches the quality of VS Factory’s 8500 and P.9000 movements.
Conclusion:
With its solid case back hiding the movement details, the visual differences between versions become negligible. For most enthusiasts, the V2 offers excellent quality at a better value, featuring a well-finished stainless steel bracelet and a time-tested movement based on the reliable Sea-gull 2824.
