Lot Essay

John's Pick
OMEGA launched the Ranchero watch in 1958 and it features many similar characteristics to the Speedmaster, Railmaster, and Seamaster, most notably the Broad Arrow hands and black matte dial. It is said that this model did not go over well in Spanish speaking countries because the translation of Ranchero is “ranch hand” and many potential customers were not intrigued by this. Very few examples survived and they are increasingly hunted by astute collectors.

According to the Archives of OMEGA the present watch was manufactured on December 10, 1958 and delivered to Italy.
