Young timer is a term in vintage automotive for 10 to 30 years old car that is already desirable by enthusiast community. In Omega, I think this term could be applied for watch from 1980 to mid 2000 era and no longer in production. They are not yet vintage but put modern label probably mislead with more recent iteration models (such as PO, Aqua Terra, Deville Hour vision, Constellation Double Eagle etc). Within this period there are several watches that have potential as future collector items. For example these trio Seamasters: 2254.50 Black, 2538.20 Great white and 2231.80 Titanium electric blue Taking the cue from original big triangle Seamaster 300M, these Seamasters does not disappoint in translating original design into modern era. Look at dial design, Omega logo, markers, hands, lugs....... faithfully follow the original Of course there are new design touches such as date, wavy dial surface, crown guard, He valve and bezel design Each watch has distinctive features advantage.......... 2254.50 is the most faithful in following original design 2538.20 has the cleanest design. The nick name Great White speaks for itself. 2231.80 dial was a sensation in its era. Probably like unique blue dial of new Sky fall Aqua Terra. Titanium case and bracelet add uniqueness and sophistication. OK now show your young timer Seamasters !!!!
Here is my 2254 with a Non A/C dial and PO second hand. It came with them when I purchased it and obviously the original dial and second hand. I like the look of the Non A/C dial with the indicies around the hour markers.
Love this watch and the Electric Blue. For the longest time I thought one of them would be my modern Omega day off watch.
I've got almost the exact set-up for my day off/ beater watch, except with the WJean mesh. Works great, looks great, and can't beat the price.
