1. Introduction: A Celebration of the Sea
The Omega Seamaster turns 75. To celebrate, Omega released a collection of watches in a unique “Summer Blue” colorway, ranging from light azure to deep abyss. The Omega Worldtimer Summer Blue Replica sits right in the middle—a perfect balance of vibrant blue and technical complexity.
For replica collectors, this watch presents a unique challenge. The gradient dial color and the commemorative caseback are new features that cheap factories (like N1) struggle to replicate.
VS Factory, the undisputed king of Omega replicas, has stepped up. They have reverse-engineered the genuine watch to create a Super Clone that captures the spirit of the ocean. Whether you are a traveler or a collector, this timepiece represents the pinnacle of High-Fidelity Omega Replicas.

The Story Behind the Summer Blue Collection
2023 marked the 75th anniversary of the Seamaster. Omega released 7 iconic models in a unifying color: Summer Blue. The concept is simple but beautiful: The deeper the water resistance, the darker the blue. The Aqua Terra (150m) is light blue. The Ultra Deep (6000m) is almost black. Sitting at 150m, the Omega Worldtimer Summer Blue Replica features a sun-drenched, light blue dial that represents the surface of the ocean. VSF has captured this specific shade perfectly. It is not just a new color; it is a tribute to diving history.
2. The Dial: A Gradient Masterpiece
The dial is the soul of this watch. It is not just blue; it is “Summer Blue”.
The Gradient Effect
- The Gen: The dial gets darker as you move from the center to the edge, simulating the depth of the ocean.
- The VSF: VSF has mastered this gradient. The center is a bright, sun-kissed blue, fading into a rich navy at the hour markers. The transition is smooth, without any pixelation or harsh lines. This color accuracy is what separates the Omega Worldtimer Summer Blue Replica from cheaper versions.
How the Dial is Made: The Science of Lasers
The dial of the Omega Worldtimer Summer Blue Replica is not printed. It is sculpted.
- Grade 5 Titanium: The center plate is made of real titanium.
- Femtosecond Lasers: VSF uses ultra-short laser pulses to vaporize the metal, creating the relief map of the continents.
- Laser Coloring: The blue ocean is not painted. The laser heats the titanium surface to create an oxide layer that looks blue. This means the color will never fade or peel because it is part of the metal structure. This is the exact same technology Omega uses.
The “London” Detail
On the city ring, look at 6 o’clock. The word “LONDON” is printed in silver (not red like the standard model). VSF has corrected this detail perfectly.
3. The Caseback: The Poseidon Secret
This is the biggest difference between the Summer Blue edition and the regular Worldtimer.
No More See-Through
Standard Worldtimers have a sapphire caseback. The Omega Worldtimer Summer Blue Replica features a Solid Caseback.
- The Design: It features a stamped and engraved logo of Poseidon (God of the Sea) driving a chariot pulled by two seahorses.
- The VSF Quality: This is not a shallow laser etching. VSF uses a high-pressure stamping process followed by laser finishing. The relief is Deep and 3D. You can feel the muscles of Poseidon and the scales of the seahorses with your finger. It is a stunning tribute to the 1956 original design.
4. The Movement: 8938 Super Clone
Even though you can’t see it through the solid back, the engine inside matters.
True Worldtimer Function
- The Mechanism: The Omega Worldtimer Summer Blue Replica uses the VSF 8938 clone movement. It is based on the architecture of the 8500.
- The 24-Hour Ring: The inner glass ring (showing 24 hours) rotates automatically.
- Day/Night: The ring is split into Light Blue (Day) and Dark Blue (Night).
- Function: You can read the time in any of the 24 cities instantly by aligning the city name with the number on the ring. This works 100% on the VSF.
Jumping Hour Hand
- Traveler Friendly: Pull the crown to Position 2. You can jump the Hour Hand forward or backward in 1-hour increments. This is how you change the date. This functionality is identical to the genuine Omega Calibre 8938.
Inside the 8938 Clone: Durability Test
We asked a watchsmith to inspect the VSF 8938 movement.
- The Base: It is a heavily modified movement architecture designed to mimic the Co-Axial 8900 series.
- The “Traveler” Module: The hour-jumping mechanism is robust. The clicks are crisp. However, we advise never changing the date backwards repeatedly, as this puts stress on the date spring.
- Serviceability: The movement is clean and well-oiled from the factory. A standard service every 5 years will keep this Omega Worldtimer Summer Blue Replica running for a decade.
5. The Strap: Dusty Blue Rubber
The strap makes the watch.
Color Matching
Creating a light blue rubber strap is risky—it can easily look like cheap plastic.
- The Tone: VSF nailed the “Dusty Blue” tone. It is not neon; it is a sophisticated, muted blue that matches the dial perfectly.
- The Texture: The rubber features a woven pattern moulded into it, giving it the look of fabric but the durability of rubber. It also features the solid metal “End Link” (inter-lug link) that integrates the strap seamlessly into the case.

6. Night Vision: The Hidden Lume
Here is a secret detail that many reviews miss.
Blue Super-Luminova
- The Color: The hands and hour markers glow a vibrant Light Blue, consistent with the Summer Blue theme.
- The Secret: Unlike the standard model, the 24-Hour Ring on the Omega Worldtimer Summer Blue Replica also has luminous numerals! Under UV light, the numbers on the glass ring glow. VSF has replicated this intricate detail, proving their dedication to perfection.
Lume Wars: Summer Blue vs Standard Worldtimer
How does the new blue lume compare to the old green lume?
- Brightness: The light blue Super-Luminova used on the Omega Worldtimer Summer Blue Replica is slightly dimmer initially than the standard green, but it lasts longer.
- Aesthetics: The cool blue glow matches the icy theme of the watch perfectly. In a dark room, the watch looks like a glowing piece of ice. It is much more elegant than the sporty green lume of the previous model.
7. Comparison: VSF vs. N1 Factory
Other factories like N1 have tried to copy this watch. How do they compare?
- N1 Factory: Uses a deck-plated movement. The balance wheel is in the wrong position. The “Laser Earth” looks like a low-resolution print. The blue color is often too dark.
- VSF: Uses a custom movement with the correct black balance wheel. The “Laser Earth” has real texture and relief. The gradient dial is smooth.
The Verdict is clear: There is no competition. The Omega Worldtimer Summer Blue Replica by VSF is the only one that can pass as a Super Clone Watch.
8. On The Wrist: Size & Feel
At 41mm, it is a large watch, but the short lugs make it wearable.
- Weight: On the rubber strap, it is surprisingly light and comfortable.
- Presence: It is a statement piece. The bright blue color attracts eyes from across the room. It is the perfect summer vacation watch.
9. Pros & Cons Summary
The Pros
- ✅ Dial Color: The gradient Summer Blue is 98% accurate.
- ✅ Caseback: The 3D Poseidon engraving is a work of art.
- ✅ Movement: Fully functional Worldtimer with jumping hour.
- ✅ Lume: Unique blue lume on the 24h ring.
The Cons
- ❌ Size: 41mm might be too big for small wrists (<16.5cm).
- ❌ Date Setting: Because it is a Jumping Hour movement, setting the date takes longer (no quick-set date wheel).
10. Final Verdict
The Omega Worldtimer Summer Blue Replica is more than just a fake watch; it is a celebration of Omega’s history.
To replicate the gradient dial, the laser-ablated map, and the commemorative caseback for a fraction of the price is an engineering achievement.
Visually, it is stunning. Functionally, it is perfect. If you want a watch that captures the spirit of the ocean, this is the one to get.
