The Seiko 6138-0040, famously known as the "Bullhead," is a prominent 1970s automatic chronograph. It is easily identified by its "bullhead" configuration, where the crown and chronograph pushers are located at the top of the case (12 o'clock) rather than the side, a design intended to prevent accidental activation and improve ergonomics for racing drivers.
