An all original and beautiful example of an Omega Ranchero reference 2990-1 with amazing deep flame patina that is not often seen, featuring a matte black dial in excellent condition with thick,  unpolished case and nicely aged dauphine and broad arrow hands.

Produced from 1958 Ranchero (Meaning 'Rancher' which was a Ranch owner) was only produced for 2 years by Omega and initially was not well received, partly because of bad marketing, and the market it was sold to, and partly because of the name at that time.  

It is now extremely difficult to find original examples, especially as beautiful and untouched as this.

A rare watch and seldom found in this condition!
