When this movement was first launched, there were doubts about its stability. However, after several months of testing and more Seamaster 300m replicas being equipped with this super clone 8806 movement, those concerns have disappeared. This movement is now considered to be as stable as the clone 2824 movement previously used in these watches.
This movement is exclusively used by VS Factory and has several features that set it apart from the 2824 clone movement found in earlier Seamaster 300m replicas. I’ll show you some pictures below highlighting these differences. But first, I want to share an update VS recently made to the Seamaster 007 No Time to Die model, which comes on a mesh bracelet—check the pictures below.
Regarding the bracelet, the previous design featured a round tube end, but now the end is wider and flat. Both designs are correct.

Round Tube End
-
Flat End
Next, let’s look at the movement differences.
If you just bought a Seamaster 300m replica from your dealer and they say it’s made by VS, which movement is inside? The one on the left or the right?
-
The left is the latest super clone movement developed by VS, the 8806.
-
The right is the older movement, based on a clone 2824 with extra plates.
The polishing on the movements differs, especially on the automatic rotor. The super clone 8806’s polishing is more subdued, with shallower polishing lines, making it closer to the genuine movement.
On the older movement, the polishing is too bright and the rotor’s polishing lines are too deep.
One notable difference in the latest super clone movement is the presence of an extra regulator, which the genuine movement does not have. So, if the Seamaster 300m has a see-through case back, anyone familiar with Omega movements can easily spot this as a fake.
Looking closer at the jewels:
-
The new movement has a central pivot inside each jewel.
-
The older movement’s jewels are fake, lacking the arbor.
Regarding engraving:
-
The new super clone movement features thicker, clearer engraving.
-
The older movement’s engraving is smaller and blurred.
Also, notice the hole on the movement plate—when you wind the watch, the gear visible inside this hole moves on the new super clone 8806 but does not move on the older movement.
Finally, the new super clone movement offers about 50 hours of power reserve, compared to roughly 40 hours on the older movement. Both provide good stability.
Next, I will show you the movement difference.
If you just bought a Seamaster 300m replica watch from your dealer, he said the watch is made by VS, so what is the movement inside? The left one or the right?
Yes, the left one is the latest super clone movement developed by VS. The right one is previous movement used by them, based on a clone 2824 with extra plates.
The polishing on the movement is different, especially on the auto rotor, the polishing on the super clone 8806 is not that bright, the polishing lines are shallower now, which is closer to that of the genuine movement.
On the super clone 8806 just developed by VS, the polishing is greatly improved.
On previous movement based on a common Chinese movement, the polishing on the movement looks too bright, and the polishing lines on the rotor are too deep.
On the latest super clone movement, this place is a big difference between it and the genuine movement, it has one extra regulator.
So if the Seamaster 300m has a see-through case back, it is easily for someone to tell this is a fake watch if he has some knowledge about the Omega movement.
There is a central pivot inside each jewel.
Fake jewels on previous movement, also without arbor.
On the new super clone movement, the engraving in this place is thicker and more clear.
On the old movement, that engraving is smaller and looks blurred.
