COMING AT YOU IS ONE OF THE QUINTESSENTIAL CHRONOGRAPHS OF THE 1970S: THE SEIKO 6138-0040 BULLHEAD.
-
CASE: HEFTY SOLID STEEL CASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS BEAUTY MEASURES A LARGE 44mm ACROSS CASE. ONE OF THE COOLER AND MORE WILD WATCH CASE DESIGNS OF THE 70s WITH THE MOVEMENT ROTATED TO ALLOW THE CROWN AND PUSHERS TO BE ON THE TOP GIVING IT THE FAMOUS "BULLHEAD" LOOK. I LOVE THE MIX OF BRUSHING AND POLISH. CASE IS IN GOOD SHARP SHAPE. DESPITE THE BEEFY PROPORTIONS ON THIS ONE, IT STILL WEARS QUITE WELL ON THE WRIST WITH REALLY GOOD ERGONOMICS DESPITE ITS HEFT AND SIZE.
-
DIAL: REALLY NICE EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE FUNKIEST FACES IN WATCH HISTORY. I LOVE THE BLUE/BLACK COLOR SCHEME AND THE CLASSIC BULLHEAD LAYOUT.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS GUY IS POWERED BY A 21 JEWEL SEIKO 6138 AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH. ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE MOVEMENTS. SO BULLETPROOF. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK CRISPLY. DAY/DATE QUICKSETS WORK WELL, CHRONO RESETS SHARPLY TO ZERO, AND THE WATCH KEEPS TIME.
- THIS SEIKO IS MOUNTED ON A COMFY GREY LEATHER STRAP WHICH PAIRS NICELY WITH THIS BRUTE. THE BULLHEAD IS BECOMING ONE OF THE MOST COLLECTIBLE SEIKO CHRONOGRAPHS. BECAUSE OF ITS OUTLANDISH STYLING, HEFTY SIZE, AND BULLETPROOF AUTOMATIC CHRONO CALIBER, I STILL THINK THAT THESE PIECES WILL CONTINUE TO BECOME MORE AND MORE SOUGHT AFTER. THIS IS A CLEAN EXAMPLE AND WOULD MAKE A SOLID ADDITION TO ANY WATCH COLLECTION
