Bokey TimeHello everyone! Today, Bokey brings you a detailed look at VS Factory’s new Omega Seamaster ‘Blue Gold’ Edition – the iconic ‘Ryder Cup’ watch (Ref. 220.12.41.21.02.004). This ‘Blue Gold’ Captain differs from the previous gold-hand version primarily in its dial texture, which has shifted from vertical to horizontal stripes, along with all-blue hour markers.
How is the imitation of the blue gold needle captain from VS factory?
Overall, the appearance of the gold needle captain is largely the same as that of the general Seamaster 150. However, the Ryder Cup special edition has added some gold details on the dial, strap, and case back for embellishment, giving a very strong visual impact.
The gold needle captain adopts a white teak dial. The hands and three-dimensional triangular hour markers are treated with blued finish and coated with Super-LumiNova luminous coating, allowing time to be observed even in a darker environment. The central gold second hand shines brightly. The gold brand LOGO with the red “Seamaster” lettering adds a sense of vitality and dynamic color to the dial.
The watch is made of stainless steel. The front is polished and the sides are brushed, presenting two different visual experiences of the material and highlighting the beauty of the lines of the lugs and case.
The watch adopts a see-through back design. Like the watch crystal, it is made of sapphire glass with very good transparency. There is a golden “Ryder Cup” logo on it. The internal movement has been changed from the previous 8500 movement to the 8900 movement. The VS replica version is equipped with a self-developed 8900 integrated movement with a black hairspring. The movement jewels and parts all have real functions. Moreover, at the hairspring regulator part of the movement, the old version is a patch process, which is just a fake decoration. While the VS independent movement’s hairspring regulator can be adjusted like the original one to adjust the watch’s error. This is indeed very impressive. My summary of the movement is just four words: impeccable.
The VS factory has also put in a lot of effort in restoring the strap and buckle. After all, the strap is also one of the characteristics of this blue and gold new gold needle captain. The strap is made of imported rubber. As always, it is comfortable to wear and does not stink. The buckle is moderately tight.
Summary: This blue and gold new gold needle captain from VS factory not only maintains a high degree of consistency in appearance with the genuine product, but also all the functions of the watch are synchronized with the original genuine product. Although there is still some gap with the original, it is not large. We have carefully compared it and it is very realistic.
