VSF Omega Constellation 41mm Sedna Gold Black Dial Leather Strap Super Clone

VS Factory Omega Constellation 131.63.41.21.01.001 – Full Hands-On Review

Hey guys, vsfwatcheshub here. Today I'm going over the VS Factory Omega Constellation 131.63.41.21.01.001 — the black dial with ceramic bezel config. Been wanting to do this one for a while. Let's get into it.

The Look

You know it's a Constellation the second you see it. The signature claws at 3 and 9 o'clock, that little star at 6, Roman numeral markers on the bezel, the thin dauphine-style hands — all the family DNA is there. VS nailed the proportions on this one, honestly. It just looks right on wrist.

Dial Work Up Close

OK so the hands. Brushed and polished finishing alternating on each surface, with a gold plating that catches light really well. Hour and minute hands are clean — no sloppy edges, the center pip is present, and the seconds hand has a nice polish to it. Gap between the hands and dial is consistent too, which matters more than people think.

The Omega logo up top has decent depth to it. Not flat, not overdone. Sits nicely.

Now here's a detail worth mentioning — the dial has this subtle sunburst pattern. You won't see it head-on in every lighting condition but tilt it a bit and it's there. Gives the whole dial some dimension instead of looking like a flat slab of black.

The applied hour markers? Polished on the sides, brushed on the face, with a beveled transition between the two. Small thing. But it adds up.

Ceramic Bezel

This is where the VS Factory Constellation 131.63.41.21.01.001 really shines — literally. The black ceramic has that deep glossy look that's hard to fake with painted bezels. Roman numerals on the bezel are filled with a matte gold metallic compound, slightly gritty texture to the touch. The contrast between the shiny ceramic and the matte gold fill is spot on.

Case & Lugs

Brushed case sides, polished lugs. Standard Constellation finishing but VS did a good job blending the two. No harsh lines where brushing meets polish. The gold tone is consistent across the entire watch — bezel, case, crown, buckle — nothing looks mismatched.

Movement — Dandong 8900/8901

Here's where things get interesting for the nerds (myself included).

VS went with the Dandong 8900/8901 clone movement for this Constellation build. Through the caseback you can see real gear trains doing their thing. Twin barrels visible. Purple jewels matching gen placement. The 3D shock absorber is there, black balance spring, and there's a regulator for fine-tuning the rate.

Wind it up and you can actually watch multiple gear positions engage and rotate. That's the beauty of a proper clone movement — it's not just decoration back there, everything works.

How to Set It

Function-wise this VS Omega Constellation mirrors the gen. Quick rundown:

One thing I want to point out — the slow date change. Around 10pm the date wheel starts creeping, and by midnight it snaps over. That's the gradual date transition you get on gen 8900 movements, and the Dandong clone replicates it. Not every factory bothers with this. The date window itself has a beveled edge and the font sits centered and straight. No complaints.

Strap

Comes on a leather-over-rubber hybrid. Top layer is genuine cowhide, underside is a rubber compound. You get the dressy look from the leather side and the sweat resistance from the rubber backing. Comfortable enough for daily wear, doesn't feel stiff out of the box.

Final Thoughts

So yeah — the VS Factory Omega Constellation 131.63.41.21.01.001 in black ceramic is a solid piece. Dial finishing, bezel quality, movement accuracy to gen specs, it all checks out. The Dandong 8900/8901 clone is doing the heavy lifting here and it delivers. If this reference has been on your radar, hopefully this review helps you pull the trigger.

That's it for this one. Drop your questions below, and I'll catch you in the next review.
