Omega / E. Bucherer

Bullhead

An extremely rare vintage asymmetrical wrist chronograph with date, inner rotating bezel and beautiful color combination on the dial

The Bullhead was originally created by Lemania. The Bullhead design with the distinctive croen and pusher layout at 12 o’clock was also used by Bucherer and mainly by Omega eingesetzt. Indeed, both models use the same Lemania calibre 3872, which was used by Omega used under the label calibre 930.
The nickname "Bullhead" comes from the special arrangement of the winding crown flanked by the chronograph pushers at 12 o’clock, which is reminiscent of a bull’s head. Due to its rarity and design the watch is highly coveted by today’s collectors.
Even with some slight signs of wear this timepiece is in excellent original condition and features an extremely attractive dial design.

The retailer for watches and jewellery Bucherer was established in 1888 in Lucerne and has more than 100 shops, including 15 of them in Switzerland, more than 30 in the United States and five in Germany. The family business has no successor an was taken over by Rolex in July 2023.
