Omega's worst flop - the Ranchero

Today we're working on the biggest flop Omega ever released; the Ranchero. It was intended to profit from the 1957 release of the "three musketeers" - the broad arrow Speedmaster, Railmaster and Seamaster 300. It however failed badly and was shelved after only two years. Which makes Rancheros rare and very collectible nowadays.
