One of the nicest original Omega Ranchero's we have ever had!

In "The Wild One" when someone asks Johnny what he is rebelling against he says "Whadda ya got!"

Either ya get cool or ya don't! This dial has a patina that leaves no doubt that this Omega "Ranchero" is completely original and "cool" as hell.

These are near impossible to find now in the correct case, with the correct movement! Because the original configuration is so desirable we are seeing a lot of pretenders coming into the market. This one is all original and has all the proper markings to make it a true Omega "Ranchero". And what a desirable timepiece it is!

As you may know, we here at Father Time are high on Omega wristwatches and are especially pumped by this current addition to our inventory....the Omega "Ranchero". This is a watch to conjure with! Take a look at the "Zoom-In" photos to really appreciate this killer wristwatch. The stainless steel case, measuring 44mm lug to lug by 36mm in diameter not including the crown, is in very nice condition and it has the proper "Waterproof" markings and reference number. The original dial has such a great patina that we all had to hook-up our drool cups over our ears before we took a look. The original "Broad Arrow" hand set makes it look even cooler. Just beneath the 12 is the Greek letter symbol that is the Omega logo and, of course, the Omega name.
Underneath the name is the "Ranchero" designation in a neat script and beneath that you can see the "30mm", 17 jewel, movement designation. The hour markers are a great looking coffee-with-cream color and are interspersed with thin minute hash marks. At the 12, 3, and 9 while Arabic numerals call out the quarter hours. Just above the 6 o'clock position is the sunken seconds bit that mimics the case shape. The movement is clean and functioning perfectly and bears the proper Cal. 267 designation. All these details are spectacular but it is the overall mystique of this "Ranchero" that calls to the prospective owner. Whomever ultimately wears this handsome watch WILL be noticed for their great taste and their understanding of fine timepieces.

This is the only "Ranchero" (Circa 1958) of this caliber (Omega 267) that we have had the pleasure to own in a long time and we hope that we may make you it's caretaker for the next lifetime. Remember all of our timepieces come with our famous one year warranty for parts and labor so that you may buy with confidence.
