Due to the special arrangement of the winding crown at 12 o'clock and the chronograph pushers on either side, Omega's reference 146.011 is reminiscent of a bull's head, which is why it was nicknamed the "Bullhead". It was introduced in 1969 as part of the Seamaster Chronostop range and was only produced for one year. Because of its rarity and design, it is now considered a highly sought-after watch by collectors. With a new coaxial chronometer movement, Omega launched a new edition of the Bullhead in 2013.
This timepiece is in original near mint condition with sharp edges and deep Seamaster logo engraving on the back.
