Gents Omega Seamaster 2990 (Ranchero) watch
Gents Omega Seamaster 2990 (Ranchero) watch.
(Due to insurance restrictions, this item is for purchase within the UK only.)
The watch has a calibre 268 17-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 17,496,547 which dates it back to 1960.
It is very likely that this watch left the Omega factory as a Ranchero but somebody, and often it was a Swedish agent called J P Brandt, had the hands and dial swapped to transform it into a Seamaster. Our understanding for this is that the name Ranchero (which roughly translates as farm boy) was not very appealing to the Swedish public, but the Seamaster name was. Hence, they are known as a 'transformed Ranchero'.
The watch measures 36mm diameter excluding the Omega winding crown and the lugs so a good wearable size. The case is stainless steel case is in lovely condition, just general light marking to the back but not too serious at all. The inside of the case back is signed with the Omega triangular mark together with the case reference 2990-1 which is correct for the calibre 268. The back of the watch states that the watch is waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture.
The lens is the original Omega lens, with the tiny clear Omega logo to the centre. It is in very nice condition.
The dial is in its original finish with original hands and a subsidiary seconds dial. There is self coloured freckling across the dial.
A later leather strap has been fitted.
The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
Due to insurance restrictions, this item is for purchase within the UK only.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
