- The Omega Seamaster 2254.50 is an icon. Beloved by watch fanatics for good reason. It looks great, very distinctive dial and bracelet, and extremely well made. At 41mm wide, with a very thin case and 20mm, it is the perfect size and supremely confortable.
The most beautiful Seamaster, iconic and atemporal!!
They should bring back that model, with the co-axial upgrade. Outstanding watch as it is. Coolest-looking Seamaster.
Yes, it would be a great idea and probably a huge seller. Perhaps one day.
@@omegawatchfan It would be nice but the tradeoff would be a thicker case which lay as flat as the 2254 does.
This is, the last normal Seamaster with normals size. Not too big, not too fat, just prope watch. Thanks for video 😉.
Agree, they need to slim down the new models.
I love the 2254. It's a classic in my opinion.
Agree 100%
Had mine for 20 years and it still runs at + 1second per day. Wish that the clasp was adjustable but that's about it.
Imagine fitting in the Co-Axial 8800 movement, this watch looks as good as it works!
They absolutely need to bring this watch back. Maybe with a ceramic dial and bezel. I suspect it will happen one day.
@@omegawatchfan Wow! That would be amazing!
The definitive SMP 300.
I have this and the electric blue version (2255.80) that I rotate with my AT. Can't really decide which one I like the best. Of the SMP300 line, I definitely like this one (and the 2255) better than the newer ones. I've tried to talk myself into the newer models several times, but when it came down to it I couldn't pull the trigger. I knew I wouldn't stop wearing this one.
You really should have shown the lume.
I'll try to do a lume video at some point soon. These older models offer some things that are just simply not found in the new ones, namely a perfectly proportioned and slim case, and a truly timeless bracelet design. The newer ones do exude a more 'luxurious" appearance thanks to the dial material improvements, ceramic bezel insert, and improved bracelet construction. It would be amazing to see the 2254/2255 design incorporated in a new Seamaster. Maybe one day.
@@omegawatchfan yes, for sure. Although, I do like the wave dial on the older ones better. The new wave dial looks kind of hokie. The ceramic bezel though, that thing is the tits.
For luxury, I prefer my Aqua Terra
for me the best looking omega, besides the blue electric one, called "schwerty" in Germany :D I dont know, why they dont make watches like this anymore. If they would bring back a 25 years aniversity edition of this, it would be a nobrainer
Absolutely agree. They could even reissue it with upgrades like ceramic bezel insert and dial. I would also hope they use a 2500 movement to keep the case thin like the original. Thanks for the info on the German name for the electric blue version!
@@omegawatchfan "schwerty" is the lovely community name for all omega watches of this Collection, cause "schwert" is sword in english cause of the markers, so any watch from omega with a sword from this years is a "schwerty" ^^
this is how smp should look like❤ best smp ever!
Ive had one before and am looking to get one again. If I were you I'd have that bracelet re-brushed vs the polish. In my opinion this piece is the Submariner killer.
Yes, will eventually get it rebrushed!
I have the same 20 year old quartz version that destroys the current version.
I love that one as well, they are fantastic watches. Have done a couple of videos on it and on quartz seamasters in general.
I’ve had mine for 15 years and absolutely love this design. Last year it stopped working suddenly. It must be due a service. £300+ Ouch!!
It has an eta 1120 so you can bring it to your local watch maker. Should be able to save some money, if you haven’t had serviced yet. 🍻
good to see your bond review! did you ever do the PO mod or get a 2230.50 dial?
Thanks! It is something I considered before. I even got a PO bezel but have not pursued it further.
How did Omega manage to F##k up the new Seamasters when they got it so right here
I also prefer many things about the older seamasters...my only guess is that more buyers are looking for flashier pieces and so they have moved to larger dimensions and bolder designs. It would be great if they use some of the new materials on a watch with the styling and dimensions of the older seamasters.
had one but just didn't work for me personally. I really wanted on of these but after three months owning it wasn't meant to be. Font on bezel just a tad to. big for my liking and the speedy type bracelet was not for me. A 20 to 16 taper would have been perfect. Still a classic watch and prices going nuts. I went back to simple old 14060.
Thanks for your comment. At the end of the day, it all comes down to personal taste/preference. For a long time, I avoided these due to the large numbers on the bezel as well. But it grew on me. Although most people prefer tapered bracelets, for some reason I found the non-tapered 'Bond' bracelet to be the most comfortable for me. And tastes definitely change as well....I used to find the predecessor to these watches (the 200m) to be unattractive, but I have started to appreciate its quirks.
You want to „mod“ this watch? Only a barbarian would do something like that...😉
Haha I think you're right...the 2254.50 really is a perfect watch as it is
It is a shame that the bracelet has been polished😢
I agree, the watch came to me that way. One day I will have it corrected.
Hi, would you consider selling the watch? I’m interested.
Thanks
thanks for your interest, for the time being I am not looking to sell it
completely over polished bracelet spoils it.
Agree, the bracelet on this example is too polished. A common problem when looking at pre-owned pieces unfortunately.
@@omegawatchfan yes it originally came brushed
@@zillsburyy1 Brushed, with mirror sides and 2 mirror links that run in the center of the band. It would be very difficult to re-polish that bracelet to factory new.....I'd like to learn the trick...lol!
@@setag54321 i made mine all brushed with a green 3M scotchbrite pad. i left the side polished. its also great at taking scratches out of the clasp
@@zillsburyy1 Good to know, thanks Tommy....I'll give this a try.
