Omega “White 2990-1” Ranchero

Description

Offered here is the more desirable variant of the popular Omega Ranchero, bearing the reference 2990-1, fitted with a white, radium dial, circa 1950s.  It is believed that the white dial Rancheros comprise roughly 20% of the production of all of the Rancheros (as opposed to their black counterparts).  This example is further accompanied by an Omega Extract from the Archives, confirming its production on October 7th, 1958 to Norway.

This Omega Ranchero is in great vintage condition.  The case does not show signs of overpolishing or too much wear.  The dial is in excellent condition, with no wear or damage; please note, the crystal shows light hairline cracks and can be replaced on request.  The original radium lume is still completely present on the dial and hands, aged to a dark yellow color.

The watch is fitted on a later Omega jubilee-style bracelet, dated to 1970.
