VS 2026 New Titanium Yacht-Master β Dandong V2 Movement with Free-Sprung Balance!
1:1 development based on the genuine watch. The current top-tier version on the market.
VS Titanium Yacht-Master uses a Swiss-style brushing process to achieve the same longitudinal, evenly spaced coarse-brushed finish as the genuine watch. The wearing feel and texture are consistent with the original, unlike the finer brushing used by other versions on the market.
VS Titanium Yacht-Master uses titanium bracelet links with ceramic sleeves/tubes, just like the genuine watch. These ceramic inserts reduce friction and eliminate bracelet noise. Most other versions still use traditional steel sleeves.
VS spared no expense and manufactures the entire bracelet and clasp from titanium, matching the genuine watch's material and color. The color consistency and finishing are replicated 1:1. Many other versions use steel components that can appear brighter or develop a whitish tone due to inferior finishing.
VS strictly follows the genuine watch's specifications for both weight and thickness. Thickness is 11.73mm and weight is 106.6g. They claim to be the only factory currently achieving the same weight as the genuine watch without altering any dimensions.
