Description from the seller

This Omega Ranchero Automatic Ref. 166.0218 is a remarkable and rare timepiece made exclusively for the Belgian market in 1975. Known for its limited production and unique design features, this Ranchero is a collector's dream and a prime example of Omega's innovation from the mid-century.

Dial and case: rare design with unmistakable details.

The black reassembled dial of this Ranchero is a striking feature, making it an exceptionally desirable variant of this already rare model. The dial is housed in a robust C-shaped stainless steel case that provides a sleek yet solid presence on the wrist.

The double 'antimagnetic' case back enhances the watch's durability and functionality, reinforcing its tool watch heritage. With a size of 35 mm without the crown, the case beautifully complements the original stainless steel bracelet, signed Omega. The watch features all original parts.

Movement: Precision and Performance

At the heart of this watch lies the Omega Calibre 1012, a reliable automatic movement celebrated for its accuracy and dependability. The movement runs.
