Strong Retro Style - Striking Design - 1 Year Warranty

Today's auction showcases a very retro Citizen so-called "Bullhead" chronograph. This retro chronograph was one of two models available at the time, c. 1972 and following, and is powered by an 8110A movement. It features a special 'fly back' function that allows the wearer to zero the chronograph while it is running. 

The distinctive silver "panda" dial with dark subdials showcases both day and date functions. If you collect mechanical retro watches, owning a Bullhead chronograph is a must.

The watch is keeping time and working well. Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
