I would not be surprised if Ozpin was actually the old man himself, or at the very least his son or something.

My guess is he has some sort of longevity for a semblance, as he does seem to be older than he appears. This may or may not have to do with any kind of time power, but could just be plain old long lifespan too. Maybe hereditary, which is why he may be the old mans son since the old man lived a long time too?

In S01E10 at the 3:40 mark he says to Ruby "I've made more mistakes than any man woman and child on this planet" possibly because he has been around for a long time?

Also the fact his name doesn't match the color trend, could be due to him being named prior to that being a trend.

Then there is just the general wise old man vibe he gives, the knowledge of a lot of stuff you wouldn't expect someone of his age to know.

My guess is that Salem and Ozpin have been at it for quite a while...
