For your consideration, a Citizen Challenge Timer Fly-Back reverse panda chronograph model number 67-9356, a very affordable chronograph with the Fly-Back function. “Citizen’s 8110A chronograph automatic high beat movement is a fine piece of engineering – compact in design with hand winding and ‘fly back’ capabilities it is a great addition to a collection. The model that it most often seen for sale – by a long way – is the Challenge Timer, now more usually called a ‘bullhead’. This model had a much longer production run than the other models in the 8110A line-up, and the ‘bullhead’ style is a popular design for today’s buyers.” (https://sweep-hand.org/want-an-original-citizen-bullhead-a-quick-buying-guide/, a good read to get an overview of the Challenge Timer and links to the operation of the watch, i.e. setting day and date) Description/ condition: The watch is in excellent condition with signs of gentle use.

Somehow the Citizen Bullheads are not getting the love they deserve. Tell me about a fly back chrono that trades that low? I need to talk to Hodinkee and commission a piece for their blog
