I like that kind of historical price lists

Based on US inflation, the today’s price of a Railmaster would be $1100 vs $130, $1520 vs $180 for a Seamaster 300 and $1650 vs $195 for a Speedmaster 😉 Best wishes Alkiro

Things have changed quite a bit.

At the current retail price on the Seamaster 300, we could buy 45 and a few spare straps. Thanks for sharing. Vte

Nice to have the historical info

Though it's also depressing to find out you've just paid X times the original price for your watch! Cheers JML

Ranchero?

Did Omega have a model called Ranchero? Or have I finally cracked under the stress and I’m reading gibberish.

I had not heard of this model before today. One learns something every day on this forum

That was expensive! In Sweden the same watches was much cheaper!

Back in 1959, 1 SEK =0.193361 USD. In Sweden the prices were: Seamaster 401 SEK=77.54 USD Railmaster 310 SEK=59.94 USD Speedmaster 462 SEK=89.33 USD Still, I would happily pay US prices today...! Very cool find. Best Blomman ...
