On my blog, I have introduced several stories about OR Factory, from its closure to re-opening, now they must be planning a big thing, with the release of new free sprung 8800/8806 movement, they want to occupy the entire market of the replica Omega Seamaster.
OR Factory announced that they will develop the 8800/8806 movement in the middle July, now the actual watches just came out, the regular Seamaster 300m models use free-sprung 8800 movement, while the Seamaster No Time to Die and Bronze Gold use free-sprung 8806 movement. Both movements have the same structure, only the engraved movement number is different.
Today, I want to show you the green Bronze Gold Seamaster, to compare it with a genuine watch, actually I have introduced this watch from OR Factory before, at that time, OR still uses a regular clone 8806 movement with extra regulator on top of the balance, you can read that review at https://www.susanreviews.com/2026/02/16/or-factory-seamaster-bronze-gold-green/. Before the start of our comparison review today, please see the new free-sprung 8800 movement pictures below.
The two watches, guess which one is genuine, which one is the replica. You guys must have watched the comparison videos reviews between the two watches on the internet, yes, this time we can see the ambition of OR Factory, they really want to beat VS factory and become the boss in the replica Seamaster field. They lent this genuine green Seamaster to many dealers to make the “genuine vs replica comparison review”, but many dealers said this replica is perfect and has no difference with the genuine, that’s not true.
There is a difference in the center pin. On the genuine one, the tip of the center pin is very well concealed and barely noticeable, whereas on this OR Seamaster, the tip of the center pin protrudes and is clearly visible.
On the replica, the tip of the second hand has a brighter color.
The precious metal stamp at 12 o’clock on the case. It looks more refined,clean and neat on the genuine watch.
The comparison on the case back letterings, it is much thinner on the genuine watch.
The case back has the same weight on the genuine and replica, which is 10.6 grams.
There must be other differences that are not included before,but next we see the movement difference.
On genuine 8806 movement, there are “OMEGA” and its logo as well as Si letterings that are engraved on the balance wheel, please see the movement picture above, I marked them with red arrow.
While on the replica, you can see there are no engravings on the balance wheel like the genuine. By the way, although OR Factory added two weights on the balance, but the surface of the weight is smooth, on the genuine, the weight surface is fluted.
Besides the weight, another place I marked with red arrow on the replica movement is also different, it is protruded, while on the genuine, it is flat or looks a bit sunken.
At last, use a Timegrapher to show the specification of both movements.
First, it is the genuine Omega 8806 movement, with a frequency of 25200.
Next, it is the replica 8806 movement from OR.
And the frequency of the replica 8806 movement is 28800.
My conclusion
If you have a genuine and compare it with this replica side by side, you can find many differences. Here I could not include all differences in this post. Since this Omega Seamaster has a see-through case back, I think the replica from OR Factory will look closer to genuine than the one from VS Factory.
