Vintage Omega Bullhead Chronograph

Yesterday I had the big pleasure to meet up with a fellow watch collector.
A great gentleman with very nice taste in watches.

On his wrist he had this one: a vintage Omega Bullhead Chronograph in absolute top condition!

I love these big Funky 70s Omega Chronographs! So different from the classic lines of Omega!




Not only do the Bullhead have the crown and pushers at the top, the whole case is "tilted" to give the wearer of the watch a more stopwatch feeling and easier access to the pushers.





Big thank you to the owner for letting me see this marvel in real, hope to see you again soon!


Best
Blomman

. . . for a right-handed person to actuate. That's one of the main reasons I'm so drawn to them. The design is, in my opinion, driven by the movement lay-out, and not the other way around. The DeVille chronos with date at 9 utilizing the same cal 930 move... 

This one almost looks brand new! [nt]

The owner have a similar wrist size as you, and wears it perfectly! That said, not only wrist size plays a role here but shape as well... Best Blomman

Definitely funky, a conversation piece. Can be a tool to pick up girls.

Just be careful of the quality of the girls you pick up. Have fun my friend. Enjoy. Geross 😉

Omega have a lot of great Sports watches from that era!

You have the greatest taste in watches, so the owner of this one is definitely flattered by your kind words ! Thanks for the nice pictures and, most of all, for the meeting: I learnt and discovered so much. All the best Karmin

Pleasure was all mine!
