A proton-proton collision data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ collected by LHCb at $\sqrt{s}=7$ and 8 TeV, is used to reconstruct $63\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}9$ ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}_{b}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}_{c}^{0}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}_{c}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}p{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ decays. Using the ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{b}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{c}^{0}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{c}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}p{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ decay mode for calibration, the lifetime ratio and the absolute lifetime of the ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}_{b}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ baryon are …
