Anyone else have a bullhead?

I picked this one up recently


Loving the quirkiness and it’s nice to have something a bit different.

Very cool piece! I don't have one but certainly appreciate it. I really would like a Ploprof, the original reissue from a few years back. That and this Bullhead are iconic Omega pieces.

I do not have an Omega Bullhead, but I have owned Bullheads and think they are very cool!

Just as an FYI.

I bought mine on the Rubber and had the Omega Boutique source the bracelet.

IIRC: about $800 and took about 3-4 weeks to arrive.

Don't bother hunting online, go to the REAL Omega boutique closest and have them order one.

Putting this here for future reference for the Part Number:

020STZ015599 (24mm Mesh - Steel + Clasp)

Excellent, thanks for the tip! In the Toronto area we don't have an Omega boutique but I've ordered parts in the past directly from Swatch Group Canada. This is a must have for any Ploprof owner in my opinion, even if it's mostly worn on the strap.

Love the ploprof and bullhead but have owned neither. Bold is an understatement for both.
I have read about the ploprof but need to read up on the bullhead.

No shortage of wrist presence on either

i have been mostly a rolex fan.....only got into omega when somewhere i read that any serious collector had a winder moonwatch. And while researching omegas i fell in love with them. So i bought a traditional moonwatch on a ss bracelet. Kept watching and i got a PO with the orange bezel at a shop with a deepsea/seadweller next to it on my wrist....got the PO.

a year or so later, i had the opportunity to put a daytona on and....was thoroughly un impressed. i thought 'how do you read this f....898er while your hand is ont he wheel.

then i saw the bullhead.....its perfect! I wear it so its a bit loose and its front and center while i drive and its iconic and classic. I cant understand why its depreciated in value since i bought it new, but i think the reissue will be big...big.... in the future. What, they made 900 of these or something?

the only downside for these is i cant find a different strap that has the gap for the rotating bezel....id love a stainless or a racing strap with bigger holes in it.
drtom

btw: have a proplof.....love it.....
