Description
VSF OMEGA De Ville Prestige 39.5mm 424.10.40.20.03.002
An exceptionally thin and well-proportioned dress replica, elevated by an integrated caliber that eliminates the bulky case dimensions typical of earlier iterations.
Powered by Integrated Clone Caliber 2500
The VSF Caliber 2500 is a dedicated clone movement designed specifically to match the dimensions of the genuine Omega mechanism, rather than relying on a decorated Miyota or ETA base. This integrated approach allows the stem height to align perfectly with the case tube, ensuring the 10.0mm overall thickness remains true to OEM specifications. While it visually replicates the bridges and rotor of the genuine Co-Axial escapement, it utilizes a traditional Swiss lever escapement for long-term reliability and ease of service by independent watchmakers.
VSF integrated 2500 calibers are generally regulated at the factory to operate within 卤5��8 seconds per day, with stable amplitude across varying positions.
- �� Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- �� Complications: Central hours, minutes, seconds, and quickset date at 3 o��clock
- �� Winding Direction: Bidirectional automatic winding
Technical Specifications
The 39.5mm case features a full high-polish finish, capturing the dress-oriented aesthetic of the Prestige line. The 10.0mm thickness is a major technical achievement for this factory.
Features alternating Roman numerals and cabochon indices. The indices and hands are rhodium-plated, offering excellent light play against the deep blue dial base.
A classic stepped, smooth polished stainless steel bezel frames the domed sapphire crystal, transitioning seamlessly into the mid-case.
The multi-link bracelet drapes comfortably on the wrist. VSF has upgraded the clasp to a CNC-machined component, resolving previous market issues with rivet failures.
Why VSF for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: ��Why not MKS Factory?��
While MKS produced highly regarded versions of the De Ville in the past, they historically relied on Miyota 9015 movements. This resulted in a slightly thicker case profile and a recessed date wheel. VSF��s custom 2500 clone allows for a true 1:1 case thickness of 10.0mm and proper date wheel depth, alongside superior CNC-milled clasp hardware.
Full Disclosure: Under a loupe, the date font thickness on the VSF can appear marginally bolder than the genuine article, and the rotor noise is slightly more pronounced in a quiet room.

Collector Q&A
Q: Does the VSF Caliber 2500 clone have a true Co-Axial escapement?
A: No. While the movement bridges and rotor are decorated to replicate the visual appearance of the genuine Omega caliber, the mechanical escapement utilizes a traditional Swiss lever design. This is standard for the replica industry and allows for easier servicing by independent watchmakers.
Q: Is the case thickness identical to the genuine Omega De Ville Prestige?
A: Yes, the VSF version measures exactly 10.0mm thick. This is achieved by using their integrated clone movement rather than a decorated base caliber, which historically added unwanted height to older replica batches.
Q: Will the ��beads of rice�� steel bracelet fit a larger wrist out of the box?
A: The standard bracelet accommodates up to approximately a 7.5-inch wrist. Collectors with larger wrists may need to source additional links via the secondary market or consider pairing the watch with an aftermarket leather strap.
Q: What is the main known flaw of this VSF De Ville Prestige 424.10.40.20.03.002?
A: Under high magnification, the date wheel font is marginally thicker than the genuine article. Additionally, the unidirectional rotor can be slightly audible in a quiet room, though this can typically be mitigated with a standard movement service and lubrication.
