VSF Edition — Oyster Bracelet
The release of the VSF Explorer 36mm reference 124270 addresses a long-standing gap in the market for a mechanically precise 36mm field watch. While previous iterations from other facilities struggled with case proportions, this version accurately captures the 19mm lug width and distinct case profile of the modern 36mm Explorer.
At the core of this piece is the Dandong 3230 clone caliber, distinguished by its lack of a ghost date position—a critical detail for authentic no-date operation. This architecture provides a robust 60+ Hours (Dandong clone caliber) power reserve, outperforming standard ETA clones. The movement operates with a smooth bidirectional winding feel and maintains stable amplitude across varying states of wind.
Machined from 904L Oystersteel, the case measures exactly 36mm in diameter with an 11.2mm thickness and weighs 118.3g, closely mirroring genuine specifications. The Gloss Black dial features deep, crisp text printing and correctly proportioned 3-6-9 applied numerals filled with blue-emitting Chromalight. The smooth steel bezel is finished with a high polish that contrasts appropriately against the brushed lugs.
