Citizen releases the original Tsuno Chrono, a bullhead-cased chronograph designed so drivers could trigger the stopwatch pushers without taking their hands off the wheel — an era defined by motorsport's growing obsession with precision timing.
Citizen Promaster Tsuno Chrono Racer AV0104-06W: A Bullhead Icon Reborn
Citizen Promaster Tsuno Chrono Racer AV0104-06W
A 1970s bullhead chronograph icon, reborn as a light-powered racing watch — "Tsuno" means horn in Japanese, named for the twin pushers that crown its case like a bull ready to charge.




Lexor Miami is proud to offer the Citizen Promaster Tsuno Chrono Racer AV0104-06W — a limited-edition revival of one of the most distinctive chronograph silhouettes ever made, reborn with modern Eco-Drive technology and a motorsport soul.
Few watch designs are as instantly recognizable as the "bullhead" chronograph: a case turned on its side so the chronograph pushers point upward at 12 o'clock, like a pair of horns. Citizen's original Tsuno Chrono — "tsuno" literally means horn in Japanese — launched in the early 1970s at the height of motorsport's golden age, built for drivers who needed to read a stopwatch at a glance from behind the wheel.
The Citizen Promaster Tsuno Chrono Racer AV0104-06W is a 44.5mm stainless steel bullhead chronograph with a green dial, gold-tone bezel and accents, brown leather strap, and the hand-assembled Caliber E210 Eco-Drive movement — solar-powered, with no battery to replace. It's water resistant to 200m and limited to 5,000 unnumbered pieces worldwide. Price: $1,350 USD. Available at Lexor Miami, authorized Citizen dealer.
Tsuno: A Racing Icon Since the 1970s
Alongside other legendary bullhead chronographs of the decade, the Tsuno becomes a cult favorite among collectors for its sculptural, function-driven case shape — unlike anything else on the wrist.
Citizen revives the Tsuno Chrono Racer as a limited edition, keeping the vintage silhouette intact while upgrading the engine inside: Eco-Drive technology that never needs a battery.
Design: Built Like a Dashboard, Worn Like a Watch
The AV0104-06W pairs its signature bullhead case in white-silver stainless steel with a two-tone gold bezel, echoing the gauges and trim of classic racing dashboards. The green dial — a nod to British racing green — contrasts sharply with the gold-tone hands, indexes and chronograph subdials, keeping legibility high at a glance, exactly as the original Tsuno demanded from drivers decades ago.
A brown leather strap with a gold-toned buckle finishes the look with vintage motoring warmth, while a sapphire crystal keeps the dial scratch-resistant for daily wear on or off the track.
Movement: Eco-Drive, Hand-Assembled
Inside the case is Citizen's Caliber E210 Eco-Drive — a hand-assembled chronograph movement that converts light from any source, sunlight or artificial, into the energy that powers the watch. There's no battery to replace and no winding required; as long as it sees light occasionally, it keeps running. The movement delivers a 1/5-second chronograph with flyback function, 12-hour timing capability, an alarm, a power reserve indicator, and a date display — a genuinely functional tool watch wrapped in a design classic.
