OR Factory Seamaster 300-How about OR Factory’s replica of Omega Seamaster 8800 movement

Hello everyone, I am the watch editor of factory n. The first thing that comes to mind for the Omega Seamaster 300 replica watch is definitely the VS factory. However, after the VS factory ran out of stock last year, there was a gap in the market. Many factories saw this piece of cake and rushed in. Various versions appeared. The most important point is that they use the 8800 all-in-one machine, which is close to the original in appearance. The OR factory is the best among them. The OR factory is a subsidiary factory of the GF factory, specializing in replicating the Omega Seamaster 300 and competing with the VS factory. The workmanship has been revised many times, and now it can be said to be very perfect!

Disassembly of the Omega Seamaster 300 movement of the OR factory

First, let’s understand the composition of the movement. The watch has five major systems, as follows.

  1. Spring system, used for winding;
  2. Gear transmission system, used to transmit the energy in the barrel to the escapement system, and realize the division of hours, minutes and seconds;
  3. Escapement mechanism, this system is very delicate, disassembly and assembly is a difficult task, the escapement system is the heart of the mechanical watch, and it is the energy converter between the link wheel system and the regulating mechanism.
  4. Balance spring system, together constitute the speed regulator of the movement, which has a decisive influence on the travel time of the watch.
  5. Automatic rotor device, this is the energy generating device of the automatic winding watch, through the rotation of the automatic rotor, the kinetic energy is stored in the barrel.

Here is a point, what is the current integrated movement. At present, no replica watch can independently develop the movement, because the development of the movement is a large factory, which is very expensive. For example, the 4130 movement of the N factory is a real integrated movement, which costs more than 10 million yuan and is also commissioned to a certain company for processing. It is not disassembled and designed by referring to the genuine movement one by one. This is a real integrated movement. However, the OR factory’s Seamaster 300 is not made by disassembling the genuine 8500 movement one-to-one, but by making changes based on a finished movement. In the true sense, it is not a self-designed and developed all-in-one machine, but a movement with a changed structure. Let’s explain in detail what structures have been changed in this movement. The content is quite professional, so please read it patiently.

OR factory on the left vs factory on the right

The reason why these are listed is to help you better understand this movement. Let’s take a look at the movement of the OR factory Seamaster 300 and disassemble the movement one by one. After removing the automatic rotor, there is a layer of plywood structure. Open the plywood structure, what do you see! It is a clear unified movement, 2824 model. That is to say, the spring system, gear transmission system, escapement structure, and balance spring system are all the same. The only difference is the automatic rotor, and only the shape of the automatic rotor. The two transmission gears connected to the automatic rotor have not changed. The barrel and the balance wheel have been blackened, and the rest are intact. In fact, the stability of this movement is good, but the kinetic energy will be slightly weaker after the movement is changed.

In the true sense, this movement cannot be called a true integrated movement. Like the VS movement, only the automatic rotor has been modified. However, many watch sellers don’t understand this, and it seems that they can’t explain it to customers. It seems that it’s better to say that it’s an integrated machine. This article is dedicated to the watch fans who are digging the root of the problem. Our official external movement is an integrated movement.
