Poor Mans Omega Ranchero
No question that the Omega Ranchero CK 2990 is a GREAT looking watch, a true 50’s classic. Problem is everybody else thinks so too and they fetch a pretty penny.
So what’s a man to do….you love the look but hate the price.
How about this, a classic Seamaster 30, Caliber 268, 30 mm, 17 jewels and at a fraction of the price. A few NOS dials available if you find a tatty example. Its not as nice as a Ranchero but its close!
Ain’t it pretty?

Nice Seamaster, but it crushes on the Ranchero, anyway. I’d step right up to the Railmaster, leaving all Ranchmasters behind. A slope-style caliber 520 and a buzzing wind guaranteed!
