The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M “> 15’000 Gauss” (Reference 231.10.42.21.01.002) is a horological icon, originally released as the world’s first completely anti-magnetic timepiece. Flawlessly executed by the legendary VS Factory (VSF)—the undisputed masters of Omega super clones—this 1:1 replica captures the highly energetic aesthetic and classic architectural design of the beloved previous generation. Housed in a robust 41.5mm stainless steel case, it features a deep black dial defined by classic vertical “teak” deck lines. The absolute standout feature of this reference is its bold, high-voltage styling: a striking black and yellow striped “Bumblebee” sweeping seconds hand matched to vibrant yellow dial text. Mounted on a fully articulated, highly polished 3-link stainless steel bracelet, this piece is an uncompromising and deeply respected daily wearer. Powered by the industry-leading Dandong DD8500 1:1 Co-Axial clone movement, it delivers flawless reliability, the authentic “jumping” hour hand feature, and stunning decorative accuracy.

Detailed Features & Upgrades
-
The Iconic “Bumblebee” Hand: The defining characteristic of this legendary reference is its spectacular use of color to denote its magnetic resistance. VSF has flawlessly replicated the vibrant yellow and black striped finish on the sweeping central seconds hand, earning it the famous “Bumblebee” nickname among collectors.
-
Classic Vertical “Teak” Dial: While modern Aqua Terras feature horizontal lines, this highly sought-after reference utilizes the classic vertical “Teak Concept” pattern. The dial features a slightly lacquered, deep black finish that provides massive contrast for the yellow accents. To perfectly tie the sporty colorway together, the “> 15’000 GAUSS” script and the quarter numbers on the outer minute track are printed in a matching vibrant yellow.
-
Classic 8500-Era Proportions: Unlike the modern 41mm models, this specific reference maintains the highly sought-after 41.5mm case size and features the frameless date window positioned at 3 o’clock, perfectly true to the original 8500-generation blueprint. The case seamlessly blends fine satin-brushed surfaces with highly polished sweeping bevels along the twisted lugs.
-
Refined Stainless Steel Bracelet: The 3-link stainless steel bracelet balances the sporty 41.5mm case perfectly. It features highly polished center links framed by satin-brushed outer links, providing a luxurious, jewelry-like drape on the wrist. It is secured by a seamless, hidden double-deployant butterfly clasp for a perfectly uninterrupted appearance.
-
The Masterpiece DD8500 Co-Axial Movement: Beating inside is the spectacular Dandong DD8500 super clone (replicating the Calibre 8508). Unlike standard replica movements, this 1:1 clone features the exact same independent “jumping” hour hand functionality as the genuine Omega—allowing you to quickly change time zones or adjust the date without stopping the seconds hand. Visible through the sapphire crystal exhibition caseback, it is decorated flawlessly with blackened screws, the specialized barrel, and the distinct Geneva waves in arabesque.
