De Ville Prestige Co-Axial Master Chronometer Two-Tone
The Omega De Ville Prestige Two-Tone is the embodiment of understated luxury — gold without excess, elegance without pretense. The VS Factory edition captures that harmony perfectly. It’s not merely a visual copy of the genuine Omega; it’s a mechanical homage built with precision tools and meticulous finishing that bridges artistry and engineering.
💬 First Impression — Subtle Power in Gold
At first glance, this watch radiates confidence through restraint. The polished gold bezel catches light like liquid metal, while the Roman numeral hour markers shimmer delicately against the crisp white dial. Every element feels deliberate: the sharp edges of the hour hand, the gentle curvature of the lugs, the balanced date window at 6 o’clock — all aligned with Swiss proportional standards.
Holding it in hand, you instantly feel the weight of craftsmanship. The polished 904L stainless steel case has the same tactile smoothness as the original, while the two-tone bracelet, alternating between brushed steel and polished gold links, feels premium and substantial. It’s a piece that quietly asserts its presence — refined, confident, and timeless.

🧠 Craftsmanship & Engineering Precision
The VS Factory team recreated the genuine Omega’s subtle design hierarchy — from the minute track alignment to the engraved Roman numerals with micron-level precision. Each index is applied by robotic arm and hand-polished, achieving the same light refraction pattern as the authentic dial.
The bracelet’s articulation is smooth and free of rattle — each link connected by CNC-machined pins rather than molded joints, ensuring solid movement and comfort. Even the transition from polished to brushed finishing mirrors Omega’s production line calibration within ±0.02 mm tolerance.
The cloned Cal. 8800 movement inside isn’t just a placeholder. It features a functional Co-Axial escapement layout and a full-size oscillating rotor with Geneva striping, mirroring the genuine movement’s appearance under open caseback inspection. The rotor engraving and brushing direction are matched stroke-for-stroke.
