I'm quite surprised (in a good way) that there's so much love for this one here - I thought it'd be a real polariser of opinion.
I knew it all along, but we've got some classy guys here!

This will surely polarise opinion here! Personally I love it, but then I love modern takes on retro models. The original was from 1969, and this is a superb update. The only possible downside is the notably fragile 3313 movement. I think its great in black but other colours are available. Stick it on an Isofrane and it's an instant classic. http://wristreview.com/?p=1775 |

Here's another link with more pics of the Bullhead at the bottom. Not sure how legible the silver is, but a pretty striking look. http://www.fratellowatches.com/omega-ba ... hes.com%29 |

Ha, I like how they noted in that article when talking about the dark side of the moon that using DLC isn't up to Omega's quality standards...... |

Hubba hubba. Superb. One just has to salute Omega at the minute, on the design front they're getting so much right. |

great, absolutely great. the major difference is that Omega is proud and knowledgeable about it's heritage, listens to the collectors and the highly involved blogosphere - Robert-Jan is a good example; they maybe overdo it with the number the homage Speedmaster launches a little from time to time, but remain mostly true to the iconic design language while advancing technology in movements and case materials. nice. |

Ablogtowatch has a YouTube video of the bullheads: they're so awesome!!!! Im shocked that I like something to radically different And they appear to wear smaller than I expected which is great news. I've recently been cured of my watch-infection; sniffle sniffle I think I'm getting sick again. |

adding this video here, one more beautiful than the other, rotating bezel in GMT, hour and minute versions - for me the by far nicest realistically affordable new Basel release; respecting heritage while adding a modern "twist" to the design. very impressed. http://youtu.be/dEoHiy6ktuY this one has not been mentioned yet, the New AT GMT chrono; quite nice, looking miniscule with those nice 43.5 mm if you happen to watch the video after the Emergency. http://youtu.be/NWU0lSTVgd0 |

Nice videos Fred. Omega are doing some very good things at the moment. Classy and yet innovative ; modern and yet retro - very cool. |

I'm a fan of bullheads so of course i love it. It'd be great to see Breitling follow suit.
