VSF Edition — Leather Strap
The VSF OMEGA De Ville Hour Vision 431.33.41.21.01.001 stands as the horological benchmark for this specific reference, surpassing older OMF iterations in both case geometry and mechanical fidelity. Its most notable technical achievement is the accurate replication of the Hour Vision’s signature sapphire crystal case body, allowing lateral views of the movement with precise tolerances. This structural complexity is rarely executed well in the replica market, making the VSF release a notable achievement.
Powered by the VSF custom 8500 automatic movement, this caliber eschews the decorated ETA architecture of the past. It features a functioning jumping local hour hand for date setting and closely mimics the modern Co-Axial escapement aesthetics, complete with the correct black balance wheel. Power reserve tests indicate approximately 36 hours of reliable operation.
The 41mm by 13.5mm case is machined from 316L stainless steel, housing a distinct black dial characterized by its unique Art Deco style rhodium-plated domed hour track. Weighing precisely 85g, it offers an authentic, balanced presence on the wrist. The high-polish finish on the smooth bezel contrasts effectively against the brushed elements of the lugs.
