The OMEGA
Seamaster Bullhead
With a case and dial configuration unlike any other OMEGA; the original 1969 Seamaster Bullhead that inspired this wristwatch is among the rarest, most collectable and most recognizable chronographs ever produced.
The Bullhead’s shield-shaped brushed and polished case, the inner revolving bezel and the unusual placement of its chronograph pushers and crowns made it a favourite among watch aficionados. Its winding crown at 12 o’clock was flanked by two chronograph pushers and it was this unique configuration that gave the watch its nickname. There was also another crown at the 6 o’clock position that controlled the internal rotating bezel. To meet a long-standing request from Bullhead enthusiasts, OMEGA reissued three versions of the iconic chronograph; only 669 pieces of each have been produced.
A style all their own
While the new models, with their characteristic symmetrical case and bezel, have all of the charm of the original, there are some modifications that give the new Bullheads their own personalities.The pushers are still mounted at the top, of course, but the round pushers on the original watch have been replaced with flat ones. Perhaps the most significant change has been in the movement.
The new Bullheads are powered by an automatic Co-Axial calibre 3113, which replaces the manually-wound calibre 930 found in the vintage model. The movement is equipped with a column-wheel chronograph mechanism. The new Bullhead’s dial designs capture the strength of the original, with its distinctive inner bezel and the sub-dials at 12 and 6 o’clock.
Classic design with a 24-hour scale
A 24-hour scale marks the white bi-directional rotating inner bezel which matches the white dial. This model is presented on a brown leather strap.
