2018 Omega Seamaster 300M Review: Celebrating Three Decades of Innovation
To mark the 30th anniversary of the Seamaster 300M, Omega introduced the fourth-generation model in 2018 with comprehensive upgrades. The case size increased from 41mm to 42mm, and thickness grew slightly to 13.6mm. A key design change is the repositioned date window—now at 6 o’clock—for improved symmetry. The ceramic dial features finely laser-engraved wave patterns, adding visual depth and sophistication. VS Factory sourced an authentic piece to produce a true 1:1 replica, faithfully recreating every detail and material of the original.Omega Seamaster 300M Review.


Aesthetic Comparison
The VS Factory replica closely mirrors the original in visual quality and craftsmanship. The ceramic bezel offers impressive durability and corrosion resistance while maintaining a premium finish. VS has introduced a unique “enamel-style” technique that closely replicates the genuine white ceramic look. Additionally, the use of imported sapphire crystal with a blue anti-reflective coating enhances both scratch resistance and visual clarity.

Dial Craftsmanship
Just like the genuine model, the VS version uses a ceramic dial enhanced with sharp, laser-engraved wave patterns for a refined look. The printed logo and text have a rich, dimensional quality, while the hour markers are uniformly filled with luminous material to ensure clear legibility in low light. The date display is exceptionally crisp, highlighting the VS Factory’s meticulous attention to detail.


Movement and Construction
The case back features a wave-pattern design, providing a clear view of the self-manufactured 8800 movement through the sapphire crystal. The structure of the movement, the gem coloration, and the black balance wheel have all been carefully crafted to closely replicate the original. From the bezel to the case, every detail has been meticulously designed to match the authentic model.

The attention to detail is evident in the brushed satin finish of the case and its carefully designed curvature, which improves comfort during wear. Additionally, the crown and case back are fitted with waterproof seals, guaranteeing complete water resistance.


Bracelet Design
The bracelet is constructed from premium stainless steel, closely resembling the original’s detailed five-link design. Each link is carefully crafted to ensure fluid movement and a refined finish. The production of the bracelet involves intricate and time-consuming processes. It also features a double-button safety fold-over clasp, along with an innovative “expanding link” feature that allows for effortless adjustments, ideal for accommodating wrist size changes in warmer conditions.


Conclusion
The VS Factory Seamaster 300M replica not only mirrors the original’s size and thickness but also impresses with its attention to detail, including the refined brushed satin finish and accurate crown tooth alignment. The dual-tone luminescence is expertly replicated, with blue luminescent hour markers and hands, paired with green accents on the minute hand and dot. The VS Factory has successfully captured the essence and precision of the Omega Seamaster 300M.
