The latest release from VS Factory, the V4 version of the Omega Seamaster 007 “No Time to Die”, marks a major upgrade with the fully integrated VS 8800 movement. This isn’t just about aesthetics — both the appearance and functions of the movement now closely mirror those of the genuine Omega Caliber 8800.
Movement Functionality:
-
Date and Time Setting Matches the Original
The VS integrated movement uses the same calendar adjustment mechanism as the genuine model. The crown rotates in the same counterclockwise direction when setting the time and date, just like the authentic Omega 8800. -
Improved Power Reserve – Now 52 Hours
Compared to the standard 2824 movement’s 41-hour reserve, the VS 8800 delivers an enhanced 52-hour power reserve, nearly matching the genuine Omega’s 55-hour performance. -
Fully Functional Internal Components
All decorative elements — including jewels, gears, and screws — are 100% functional. Unlike earlier replicas based on 2824 movements with fake plates, glued jewels, and non-functional gears, the VS 8800 uses real, integrated components. This dramatically reduces mechanical failure and improves realism.
Movement Appearance:
-
True-to-Original Size
The VS 8800 matches the original in diameter (26.5mm) and has a similar thickness of about 4.65mm. In contrast, 2824-based replicas have a smaller outer diameter (26.0mm) but are thicker at around 5.6mm — making the VS version more accurate in profile and case fit. -
Refined Finishing & Detailing
The area around the balance wheel, the slots around the main plate, and the decorative milling patterns on the bridges have all been meticulously recreated. The finish and texture are visually and tactilely indistinguishable from the original Omega movement.
Final Verdict:
The VS “No Time to Die” 007 V4 is arguably the most accurate and mechanically reliable Omega replica on the market today. With a fully integrated VS 8800 movement, improved power reserve, and near-perfect finishing, this model offers a premium wearing experience for collectors and enthusiasts who value both form and function.
If you're looking for a high-end replica that stands up to scrutiny — inside and out — this is the one to own.
