This is a NEW OLD STOCK Omega Ranchero built from all original orphaned Ranchero parts, similar to the WatchCo Seamster 300's.
It was assembled and serviced in 2024 by a master watchmaker (we all know him here) specializing in vintage Omega and is running exceptionally well.
The super clean dial is 100% original and unrestored and can be confirmed by registering 6µSv/hr on the Geiger Counter (see video)
The 36mm steel case is very clean with no dings, scratches or signs of polishing and still has the caseback sticker. The original brushed factory finish can be seen on the case sides.
The Omega caliber 267 hand wound movement is running very well (see video) and winds very smoothly with the . The serial number of the movement corresponds to a 1957 manufacture date. The winding crown is the variation #45003 (instead of the #45002 Bowler hat type) and looks more sporty and is easier to grip for daily winding.
The original hands are lumed without either Radium or Tritium based paint.
Only the seconds hand is a not period original as it's a modern Omega brand replacement.
The correct crystal has the inside-etched Omega symbol in the center.
It is offered on an original 1968 #1035 Omega Flatlink bracelet with #7 endpieces for $5500 OBO, shipped
Alternatively, it can also be purchased on a brand new Colareb vegan leather strap with a vintage Omega buckle for $4250

The Ranchero is my favorite model, but as I rarely wear it, it's time to pass it on.

Thank you for looking!
I have plenty of good sales feedback here and on WUS also as "DIV" and on Rolex Forums as "Juggernaut" and certainly on ebay as "Favorite Things Collectibles" and I intend to keep it that way.
