Wedge-formed shield-like casing---Omega Seamaster Bullhead Limited Edition

The Omega Seamaster Bullhead includes a wedge-formed shield-like casing. Using the case calculating 43mm from left to right and 43 mm all the way through, the chronograph controls, flat and wide pushers, are mounted at the very top of the case primary time (and date)-setting crown. At the end of the case, in the 6 o’clock position, is really a crown that controls the interior reflector bezel. The case is stainless steel featuring brushed and polished areas in addition to sharp angles.

This watch is operated by the Omega automatic Calibre 3113. This movement, besides being self-winding, includes a column wheel chronograph mechanism, co-axial escapement along with a power reserve of 52 hours when fully wound. This watch is water resistant to fifteen bar (150 meters / 500 ft).

One major great thing about a bullhead design may be the view. Searching in the right side or even the left side, still it looks exactly the same. However, you will find a couple of interesting features of the watch that the lot of individuals will not have observed unless of course they examined it personally.

Actually, the already thick casing of 14.85 mm is even thicker in the North side of the watch and slightly curved. It has the result of positioning the watch around the wrist in an position, permitting the individual to check out time without requiring to show the wrist.

From the manufacturing perspective, the entire process of rubber stamping this special shape from a good bit of steel block requires additional steps that inevitable boost the overall production costs. A significantly cheaper alternative would be to align the watch face a couple of levels from the standard North-South configuration. Omega made the decision to accept more costly route because the bullhead design should really allow it to be ambidextrous.

The second unique feature of the watch is using hidden lugs. It has a number of advantages. First being to reduce lug overhang on wrist specifically for bigger watches. The second advantage is keeping the strap surface onto the skin. This minimizes the inclination of slippage with no need to place on the strap really tight. This advantage is particularly apparent with this particular watch because of the load of the casing. The third advantage may be the overall view of the watch. The hidden lugs eliminate any unsightly view of the strap and lugs interface.

The third unique feature of the watch may be the strap design. Within the picture above you will notice the special slot reduce the underside strap to permit the big internal bezel crown from being caught within the strap. What this means is the Omega Seamaster Bullhead utilizes a unique strap design that might be very difficult or perhaps impossible to locate from independent strap makers.

The fourth unique feature of the watch may be the crowns. The primary crown at 12 o’clock utilizes a bayonet twist lock system, guaranteed with a single turn. Which means the Omega logo design around the crown is definitely facing the proper way up. However, the interior bezel crown at 6 o’clock, an even bigger crown, it's not kept in anyway.

Overall, the watch sits well around the wrist. The deployant clasp used merges effortlessly using the strap. Using thick red threads around the straps completes the ‘sportiness’ towards the design.
