Watch Review: ZF Factory Omega Dynamic De Ville Gold Needle Dial

Hello everyone! I am Bokey. This time, I bring you the watch review of the Omega Elegant Series – ZF Factory’s kinetic De Ville series 424.13.40.21.02.002. Speaking of this kinetic orbital De Ville, friends who have paid attention to replica watches should know that this kinetic De Ville series was previously launched by TW factory, achieving the same function, but the thickness is still slightly thicker than the genuine one. This time, the Omega kinetic De Ville launched by ZF not only realizes the multi-functions of kinetic energy and small seconds, but also achieves the same thickness as the genuine one. Then, let’s talk about the advantages of this ZF factory’s Omega kinetic De Ville rose gold compared to TW factory in a way with pictures and texts.

Before the review starts, Bokey wants to say that the promotional copy of ZF factory’s kinetic De Ville has a wrong thickness parameter. The external publicity is 39.5 mm * 12.5 mm. After Bokey got the physical object and measured it, he found that the thickness is only 11 mm, which is a full 1.5 mm thinner than the publicity! This is even more in line with the genuine one! The wearing experience is better! In the replica market of kinetic De Ville, only ZF has this thickness. Other factories, such as TW factory, DV and some small factories, all have a kinetic De Ville thickness of more than 12 mm, which is thicker than the genuine one. You can also distinguish whether it is produced by ZF factory by the thickness. Below are the overall measured data, diameter 39.5 mm, thickness 10 mm, total weight 71.7 grams (removing the ZF factory tag should be 68 grams).

Well, after pointing out a wrong parameter of the thickness, let’s look at the front appearance. The overall watch size is 39.5mm * 10mm. The case material is 316L stainless steel and is finely ground and polished. The overall brightness is very high and the processing is also very clean.

The mirror material is sapphire glass and is coated with a colorless coating, very transparent.

The dial uses a silver-white orbital dial. The scales and hands are all finely ground and polished, and are electroplated with 18K rose gold. The entire dial is very clean and neat! Very simple!

The Roman numeral scale pins on the entire dial are all finely ground and polished, with very high brightness. The scale pins use the same butt welding and inlay process as the genuine one, and there will be no phenomenon of falling letter pins or missing pin holes. The spacing of the scale pins is also very neat and uniform, and there will be no phenomenon of crookedness or incorrect spacing. This is also a standard for large factory replicas. Some De Ville watches produced by small factories and workshops will have the phenomenon of uneven scales.

Here, let’s talk about this dot scale. This time, ZF factory also makes a water drop effect consistent with the genuine one! Bokey thinks this place is done very well!

The Omega resistance logo on the dial is also made by butt welding and inlay process, and it is very centered. In terms of the pointer axis, we can see that the pointer axis is solid and relatively large. This is in line with the genuine one. However, the processing of the axis is not very clean. This needs to be carefully selected. I hope ZF factory can do a good job in quality inspection in the future.

The 3 o’clock position is the calendar window. The steps of the calendar window are very in place, and there are no burr processing marks. The font uses the same 3D printed font as the genuine one, and the position is also very centered. The small triangular pit patterns on the edge of the crown are very finely polished. The pit patterns are polished neatly and have the same depth. And it is polished like the genuine one, with full texture. The winding feel is much more convenient and lighter than the Seagull 2824 movement of TW factory/MKS De Ville!

At the 6 o’clock position is the kinetic energy display dial. When the kinetic energy display needle points to the right, it is in the fully wound state. The energy storage time is about 40 hours. While the genuine energy storage is 48 hours. At the 9 o’clock position is the small second hand. The central axes of the two small hands are both made in the shape of a hat. ZF is in line with the genuine one at this point.

After the side of the case is polished and ground, it is very smooth and textured. The four lugs all have a slight arc. The details of the case are chamfered, bringing a wearing experience that is indistinguishable from the original. The crown adopts an exquisite and small straight-pull crown design. The size ratio is moderate. After magnifying 40 times, we can see the relief of the Omega resistance logo “Ω” on the top of the crown, which is three-dimensional and clear.

The back cover is processed by vertical wire drawing. The overall wire drawing direction is the same as the genuine one. The edge is polished and very meticulous! The movement inside is the highly malleable Japanese Miyota 9015 movement. ZF has added kinetic energy and small second modules to make it achieve the same function as the genuine one. The Japanese Miyota 9015 movement (also known as Citizen 9015) is also very durable in terms of timekeeping stability. The only drawback is that the noise of the automatic rotor is relatively large. However, Bokey can do noise reduction treatment for everyone for free on this point.

The “God of Time – Cronus” in the middle is made by relief process. It is very three-dimensional and still clear after magnifying 30 times!

The strap is made of Italian calfskin imitating crocodile skin texture. The workmanship of the entire strap is very good. For watch friends with sufficient budget, Bokey still recommends a better crocodile skin. After all, a dress watch with cowhide still lacks a bit of texture!

The buckle is Omega’s classic pin buckle. The overall polishing is mainly polishing. The polishing is very smooth and meticulous. The Omega resistance LOGO on the top is clear and three-dimensional, very in place! The back is also engraved with a code.

Wearing picture. Bokey wrist circumference is 15.5CM. It fits well when worn!

This time, ZF factory has launched a total of 8 color schemes of kinetic De Ville for watch friends to choose from. Bokey will not present the real pictures of other color schemes one by one.

Summary: In terms of the current workmanship details, the kinetic De Ville of TW factory has been completely surpassed by ZF factory. And there is also a qualitative leap in thickness.
