I think of the Rail and Ranchero as . . .
. . . the Batman and Robin . . . . . . of the watch world. Interestingly enough, Burt Ward, who played Robin, performed most of his own stunts in the series, unlike Adam West whose face was entirely hidden, making the use of a stunt double more feasible. ...
Ha ha ha! You make an interesting comparison dear Art. Never thought that! But you are right they could be seen as the Batman and Robin.
I was a fan of that TV show when I was young and still feel that it was the most faithful rendering of the original magazine characters. I wish that Omega would reissue the Ranchero with a faithful watch like they made with the Railmaster (but with a manu...
The '30mm' text on the dial . . .
. . . refers to the diameter of the movement, Massi. In the world of Omega, at least, the Ranchero is unique in that regard. Best, Art
