They call him the bullhead. His girlfriend too.


At a massive 44mm and made of solid stainless steel I wouldn't be surprised if it has a name like that. This watch has its crown and pushers at the 12 o'clock; the pushers almost seem to look like horns on a bull's head. Thus the nick. One of my favourite retro watches.
Seiko 'bullhead', circa 1970s
Official reference: 6138-0040
Automatic movement with chronograph, day, date function
The bullhead is actually a drivers' watch. Now what in the world is a drivers' watch...
Wear it on the palm side of the wrist, the thick top case enables the driver to see the time as the driver glances at the watch without lifting his hand off the steering wheel. Neat.
I like this piece for its jet black dial, yellow chronograph hand and its unique design. An affordable, reliable and retro watch. Not for the faint hearted.
