VSF Edition — 904L Stainless Steel
The VSF iteration of the Daytona 116515LN-0057 represents a notable horological assembly in the replica market, primarily due to its integration of the highly regarded Dandong 4130 movement. While other factories have produced this reference, VSF brings their signature crystal clarity and strict case tolerances to the rose gold Daytona platform. This specific model is noted by collectors for its precise sub-dial spacing and an overall thickness of 11.2mm, matching the genuine profile closely.
Powering this chronograph is the Dandong Cal.4130, a true 1:1 clone movement featuring a functional column wheel and vertical clutch mechanism. This architecture ensures the chronograph seconds hand starts without the jump associated with lateral clutch designs. It is equipped with a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and KIF shock absorbers, delivering stable chronometric performance.
The 40mm case is constructed from 904L Oystersteel, treated with a rose gold plating to emulate the warm hue of the authentic Everose alloy. The black dial is accented with synthetic diamond hour markers, offering high contrast against the dark background. Tipping the scales at 106.3g, it wears lighter than its solid gold counterpart but maintains excellent balance on the wrist.
