Ever since VS Factory entered the Rolex market, it seems to have had little time or energy left for its Omega and Panerai product lines. On the one hand, from last year until now, VS has not released any truly new Omega models, although it did develop a super clone 8800 movement for the Seamaster Diver 300M. On the other hand, VS has been offering its Panerai replica watches at discounted prices since last year, which I assume is an attempt to clear old inventory. However, it has not released any new Panerai models during this period. Could VS be preparing to withdraw from the Panerai market completely? After all, Panerai has not been particularly popular in the replica watch market in recent years.

These two watches are newly released models from VS Factory, one in black and the other in blue. There is also an orange version, although I have not shown it here. In fact, all three colorways were previously produced by a factory called VS+. Personally, I do not think there is a significant difference in overall quality between the two factories. The main difference lies in the movement.

Unlike previous Planet Ocean models, this new version does not feature a helium escape valve on the case. It is fitted with a ceramic bezel, which feels smooth and solid when rotated.

The design of this new model also looks quite different from earlier Seamaster and Planet Ocean watches. The older models had cases and bracelets with softer, more rounded lines, whereas this version has a sharper and more angular appearance. That said, all the edges and corners of the case and bracelet have been properly polished, so the watch does not feel sharp or uncomfortable on the wrist.

The new Planet Ocean 600M is equipped with VS Factory’s exclusive super clone 8912 movement. This movement is based on the 8900 movement, with the main difference being the engraved markings.

VS Factory’s super clone 8900 movement is also a very good movement. It was first released in November 2018 and was initially used in the Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M. It was later introduced into the Planet Ocean 600M and Constellation collections.

This movement successfully replicates the independently adjustable hour-hand function found on the genuine watch and also helps reduce the overall thickness of the case. However, contrary to what many people claim, its components are not interchangeable with those of the genuine Omega movement.
