The Omega Seamaster 300m diver reference 2254.50 is bound to become a future classic. It was a victim of the success of the James Bond franchise and teh fact Omega selected the skeletonized variant for him to wear. Although i like that watch as well, I never could get pass the poor legibility those hands have. This on the other hand is one of the most legible watches ever made, regardless of the brand. The long sword hands filled with some of the best lume out there, that can rival Seiko, combined with a matte dial and oversized hour markers make it easily readable in any condition. The Omega 2500 caliber may be just a tuned ETA 2892, but it gives the already perfectly sized watch a reasonable thickness of just 11,5mm, making it feel like an Ultra thin watch compared to some Omegas of today!
Combine those proportions with one of most comfortable bracelets ever, and you can understand why this watch has a lot of potential of becoming a future classic!!
I think you should get one while the prices are still pretty low!!
Enjoy the video!!

Had one of these nearly 20 years. I wear it every day for everything from when I wake until getting back into bed. It still looks great and gives me a great feeling every morning when I put it on. Serviced twice so far it never misses a beat.
Sold mine last year. Still regret it. Bought one today. Feel much better.
Everyone I know that had sold their seamaster 2254 regretted it. To me this is still the seamaster to have, yes it doesn't have ceramic bezel, screw-link bracelet, and coaxial movement but still the 2254 is as classic as it gets
Sword hands and speedy bracelet, this is my favorite iteration of the seamaster! It was my first "big boy" watch!
I sold a 2254.50 I owned many years ago. I missed it so much I bought another. I then added the Omega Expansion Clasp which made a very good watch a great watch on the wrist. Five months ago I had it serviced by a non-AD authorized seller, but an Omega trained watch-maker. It's accuracy is extraordinary, tending to run -1 to +1-2 seconds per day. The 2254 SMP was NEVER designed to operate at that level of accuracy, but it can be regulated to that level of accuracy. This is one of those rare few watches I'll NEVER sell.
the best looking seamaster ever!
There will come a time this 2254.50 will become a highly sought after watch. Mark my words. I know i will keep mine. Love it just as much as my 2531.80
This was the only 300M that spoke to me. Never could warm up to skeleton hands of the other variants so I spent over a year trying finding 9.5+/10 condition with the full set. I finally found one and never regretted the time it took because I knew it would be a keeper. Its very easy to wear, flys under ther radar, and is simple. My only slight gripe is the scalloped style bezel can be a little difficult to grip if your hands are slippery.
This is obviously personal preference, but the reasons I like this model instead of the later ones is, sword hands, non round indices, slimmer case, a less intricate look braclet which tappers, and last of all a nicer designed wave dial. May well be collectable one day for sure.
This design has aged very well. I think it is THE SMP to own. I prefer it over the later models.
Just got this exact watch but in the mid size 36mm and it's perfect on my 7" wrist, I've never liked watches that are 40mm and upwards, they are just too big for my taste..great video👍
Love this watch, the look is fantastic as is the comfort. I wear mine daily and it has never let me down!
The 1120 movement can also be serviced by any competent technician, saving the owner hundreds of dollars when compared to a trip to the nearest Omega service center.
I’ve refused to wear it after servicing it! It looks so pristine!!😎
Excellent video and yes, totally agree, modern classic.
I own the blue version. Wore it for a decade. Looks like I'll have to dust it off...
With the PO bezel swap it’s my favorite omega
Hands down the best Seamaster 300 design.
This is what a watch should look like. Very handsome. But, at 6:33, is the lume insert of the minute hand off center (left bias)? It's seems to only be apparent on the macro shots, but still, should it be like that?
Never selling mine. Watch perfection.
I didnt think too much about this watch until seeing people wear em around my local. (Australian beach suburb, lotta people at the age when they very likely bought new). Man now I highly regret not grabbing em when they were easier to get!!! Best looking SMP300
Whoa Whoa Whoa, a Seiko Spring Drive is a hybrid!!!...a Co Axial is like a Twin overhead Cam 32 Valve vs the Old School push Rod Escapement Movements
Nice watch ! I got the same...Where did you found this instrumental? ❤
Any thoughts on the midsize 36mm version?
Beautiful classic look that seems to be lost in today’s market.🇺🇸
It was my first proper watch. I've owned a bunch of Omega and German dive watches since then. I sold the 2254.50 and regretted it, only to reacquire one a few years after that. The 2254.50 is damn near perfect. The right size for most wrists (41mm) and wonderfully thin (11mm), it exudes such a graceful presence on the wrist. The 2254.50 is the natural heir to the Omega 300 watches from the 1960s, and shares much of their design aesthetic -- the hour markers and large triangle at 12:00, the wonderful sword hands. The modified 1120 is a great movement, and the robust and handsome Speedie bracelet ties it all together beautifully. Omega is releasing too many hockey puck-sized divers now with designs that are all over the place. The Planet Ocean with the railroad hands and the odd proportions, the Diver 300M with the dot hours (looks like Rolex) and the skeleton hands, too many homage watches with fake aged lume. The 2254.50 looks like an Omega. One small quibble is the bezel with scalloped edges. I'm debating replacing it with the original Planet Ocean bezel, which apparently fits. We'll see.
best looking seamaster ever.
Not sure why it’s so hard for Seiko and others to make a dive watch that is less than 13mm tall. The new sbdc101 has great proportions other than the thickness and weight which are probably correlated. The 2254.50 has the ideal dimensions and only 150g with all the links on. Probably 140 with a few links removed. Go find me a Seiko diver with decent bracelet with sel, that weighs less than 180g
Hello, You got a new subscriber!!
Thanks man, I appreciate it 😁👍
Can you fit the newer on the fly adjustment to this bracelet? As this bracelet has some minor tapering I not sure it would fit. Does anybody know?
I bought the same watch but the chronograph version. I bought the wrong watch i should have save myself £800 & bought this. However just bought one today a real minter too, I'm so glad I did 😁
nice i got this watc 10 years ago in singapore airport any idea on how i can trace my warranty details?, im in australia
The most important part of this watch is the design language derived from the original ref. 165.024 which was the Omega supplied diver to the Ministry of Defense. Which had applied triangle markers and sword hands. Remove the helium and replace the bezel, you would have a modern 165.024
Get one now. Why it still affordable
5k for a good one eventually. 10/15 years. In my opinion.
Such a sexy watch. The greatest SMP 300 imo.
I like this model more than the Bond.❤
This was my ideal watch for a long time. I made the mistake of buying a Rolex Explorer II first - mistake because the next purchase after was the 2254.50 that I wanted for so long. At that point I was spoiled and didn't appreciate the Omega like I had wanted to. Truth be told, it's a nice watch with a great aesthetic, but has been caught up in the price hikes that have come with watch collecting becoming a more mainstream thing. The finishing and the movement do not justify the current asking prices of these by any means, Omega from that time period just isn't terribly impressive.
This was the first Swiss watch I ever bought...back in 2010. Then it was stolen from me last year :'(
Sorry to hear that
Dive watches from Omega always have a better looks with the mixture of sport and dressy, the Rolex submarine or some Seiko high grade dive watches are sporty , but can't match a formal suit as Omega did.
@ Watch Geek How are you? Please can you introduce me to someone that can source me the SMP?
I think the 2255.80 electric blue dial is the way to go on this one. The black is nice but the blue takes it up a gear
Dressy diver? Xaxa, the watch is tactical
flat AF, this.
