Description
This vintage Omega dates from the late 50's. In this era, Omega also presented the iconic Seamaster 300 and the Speedmaster. The Seamaster Ranchero was produced in a short period of about 2 years. The common variant of the Seamaster Ranchero has the lettering "Ranchero" at 12 o'clock. The present watch shows the word "Seamaster" at 12 o'clock. This configuration is a rare version of the Seamaster Ranchero.

The dial shows triangular indices with original radium lume, which was detected with a Geiger counter. At 12, 3 and 9 o'clock you can see white Arabic numerals. At 6 o'clock, the sub-dial shows the small second. The hour hand has a beautiful arrow shape with radium lume.

The 35mm stainless steel case has few signs of usage. Considering the high age of this vintage watch, the condition of the case is absolutely amazing. The acrylic crystal has a small scratch at 12 o'clock. On the crystal is the omega logo (see images), which speaks for the originality, since the service glasses do not have the logo. The matte black dial is absolutely clean and has been preserved without any flaws. The crown is signed with the Omega logo. Also, the clasp is original and carries the Omega logo.

This vintage Omega is powered by the manual wind movement caliber 267. The in-house Omega movement has been at the heart of many models and is known for its accuracy and longevity.

Due to the low production number this Omega is a real insider tip. Well preserved and original specimens are extremely rare and sought-after by collectors.
