The Citizen Bullhead is one of the most distinctive chronographs of the 1970s, instantly recognizable for its “bullhead” configuration with crown and pushers positioned at the top of the case. This bold layout wasn’t just a design flourish—it made timing events more intuitive while giving the watch a racing-inspired edge. The white dial version highlights its retro character with clean contrast and sharp legibility, powered by Citizen’s reliable automatic movement during the golden age of chronographs.
Long appreciated by collectors as a cult favorite, the Bullhead’s legend grew even further when Brad Pitt wore the white-dial model in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) as stuntman Cliff Booth. The film’s late-60s/early-70s setting perfectly suited the watch, and Pitt’s effortless cool brought the Bullhead into pop culture spotlight. Today, it stands as both a symbol of 1970s Japanese watchmaking innovation and a cinematic icon recognized worldwide.
