Omega

Great Ranchero post

 

I think i know the white one smile

The lack of love for these dials at the time made the Swedish Omega Agent (not confirmed but most likely) buy a lot of Ranchero (probaly cheap) and provide them with a Seamaster  dial instead.

Those are the transformed Ranchero's here is a 2990 and a 2996

Omega Ranchero: The Fourth Musketeer

 
By: DrStrong : December 19th, 2014-00:22
In 1958, Omega created a watch line called Ranchero . It was inspired by the Railmaster, the Seamaster 300 and the arrowhead hand of the 1957 Speedmaster, so there was no mistaking its lineage. Ranchero: sound of freedom, adventure and virility.. Omega’s ...

Superb Watch, and nice post, Jeff. Here is a white dialed one I could see some months ago. I didn't take it, I regret it.... Very cool Watch! Best, Nicolas ...  

Interesting and informative post about the lovely Ranchero model...

... often thought of as a "poor brother" of the Railmaster. I would love to find one, very rare here in my Country. It´s a pity many have had their dials replaced as this destroyed their collectors value as well as its charm I feel. Estanciero is the name... 

Ha ha ha ha! Ah Nicolas! You are my Guardian Angel! Lol! You...

Here in Sweden the Ranchero was not that successful... Many was transformed into Seamaster's before being sold at the AD's. Best Blomman

Transformed after landing at the AD, before being sold!

The Ranchero was not popular, so the AD's ordered Seamaster labeled dials to be able to sell them... Best Blomman

No matter how much I've learned about Omega . . .

. . . it seems hardly a week goes by without discovering something entirely new. I'd no idea there were capped Rancheros until just now. Thanks, Jeff - another model to keep my eyes peeled for. Great pick-up, btw . . . your Ranchero, that is! The Ford . ....  

Nice

Congratulations , that black Ranchero is a really fantastic and nice watch , no doubt that a complete collection with CK2915 , CK2913 , Railmaster and Ranchero is a dream line up Thanks for sharing
