Citizen Chronograph Bullhead - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

I present to you my Citizen Bullhead chrono that I ordered on a Japanese site I really like this watch with the crown and the two push buttons located at the top of the dial, it is quartz vast subject the blue color of the dial varies according to the intensity of the luminosity which is of the most beautiful effect, the Japanese manufacturer has again released a pretty watch very endearing my son has just returned it to me he loves it, it has a diameter of 38mm and an ATM 5, the bracelet stamped Citizen is at the level of the fixation and the adjustment like a Milanese mesh system.

Citizen Bullhead "Challenge Timer" from November 1972. This is a model that I absolutely wanted to have in my collection for its endearing look, its technical characteristics as well as for its reputation that continues to grow. So I went in search of my wild beast... After much research and in the middle of a jungle of tinkered parts or with horribly repainted dials I was finally able to find this model in excellent condition and totally original with a beautiful patina. It was mounted on its original steel bracelet but I then found a Nato that fits it perfectly! Concerning the operation, the push buttons are very smooth with this caliber 8110A equipped with a column wheel. In addition to the automatic winding, day and date functions, it has a chronograph with the "Fly back" function. It should be noted that apart from the chronograph, the Bullhead does not have a second hand. Its only small flaw is its crown nestled between the 2 pushers which is very small and which is wound with the fingernails... I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of manufacture and finish as well as its formidable precision even after more than 50 years of service. In conclusion, if you like chronos and are looking for a watch that has style, you will fall like me under the spell of this little bull full of vigor and character!

It all starts with a crush. A watch with an atypical shape and a completely assumed style of the 70s. I was under its spell. I coveted it for a long time but never saw it in real life, so I didn't take the plunge. In the photo it looks massive, imposing, it doesn't matter, I take the plunge, I bid, it arrives, it has lived, but .... incredible, it is sublime, perfect proportion, perfect size, it is discreet I love it. It is about 50 years old and this year it is my favorite, it is my release of the year :)
