Produced for only a very short period, the 7996 represents one of the earliest automatic date-equipped Rangers and is considerably rarer than the later shield-logo examples.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat makes this particular watch stand out is the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003esmall Tudor rose Ranger dial\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. The matte black dial features the characteristic Explorer-style layout with large Arabic numerals at 3, 6, 9 and 12, elongated luminous markers and the distinctive Ranger handset.
