Here's an exceptional opportunity to own a rare vintage Omega Ranchero, featuring the appealing small-second complication. This specific model, case reference 2990-1, showcases an unpolished original stainless steel case that remains in very good condition despite its age.
With a robust size of 36mm in diameter and measuring 44.6mm from lug tip to lug tip, this watch commands attention on any wrist. It’s important to note that this model utilizes a unique case gasket that is ingeniously designed to sit inside the case rather than on the case back, further highlighting its distinctive engineering.
The original acrylic crystal is in excellent condition, contributing to the overall integrity of the timepiece. This watch features its original signed crown and boasts a scarce and highly sought-after factory original black dial, which has developed a charming aged-patina over the years. Notably, the "30mm" indicator on the dial signifies the movement diameter.
Inside, you'll find a professionally serviced manual wind movement that operates with strong accuracy and reliability. The movement, Omega calibre 267, is accompanied by a serial number, 16828383, which dates this remarkable piece back to 1958.
For added comfort and style, the watch will come with an original Omega BOR (Beads of Rice) metal bracelet that will fit up to a wrist size of 7.5 inches perfectly. The wrist size in the accompanying photo is 6 inches. Additional links can be added on for a larger size wrist upon request.
Don't let this extraordinary piece pass you by—it's a remarkable addition for any watch collector or enthusiast!
