The Seiko Bullhead easily ranks as one of the firm’s most popular vintage watches and it’s also one of the rare models that can often by found in a Swiss chronograph collector’s portfolio. Maybe this is because it’s too fun to deny or because it’s an affordable gateway drug to trial before going headlong into the far more expensive realm of models such as the Omega. Either way, it’s a strangely satisfying and relevant watch to own and wear. The Bullhead chronograph gets its name from the orientation of its crown and pushers. Notably, the controls sit atop the watch instead of the more customary right side of the watch. Apparently, the rationale for this placement is to avoid accidental engagement of the pushers.
