Citizen Bullhead Chronograph (1973-1978) (67-9119, 67-9313, 67-9314, 67-9420, 67-9421, 67-9112, 67-9111, ツノクロノ). Current Prices, JDM Listings, Market Analysis
The Citizen Bullhead Chronograph is one of the more visually distinctive Japanese vintage chronographs of the 1970s, produced across a five-year window from 1973 to 1978 under several reference numbers including the 67-9119, 67-9313, and 67-9420. The "ツノクロノ" nickname, meaning roughly "horn chronograph" in Japanese, reflects the pushers positioned at the top of the case rather than the crown flank, a layout that gives the watch its characteristic silhouette. Tonbo tracks this model because it surfaces regularly in the Japanese domestic market at pricing that can differ meaningfully from US retail levels. The current US median sits at approximately $300, though the data behind that figure comes with important caveats covered below.
Current US Market Value
The US median price for the Citizen Bullhead Chronograph is estimated at $300. This figure is drawn from a category estimate rather than a dense pool of verified recent sales, and the sample size is limited. The comp quality rating for this model is 🟠 Estimate only, meaning the $300 anchor should be treated as a directional reference point rather than a reliable floor or ceiling. Anyone researching the 67-9119 price or evaluating a specific piece should account for significant condition variance across the reference family. Dial condition, pushers, and crown integrity all move the needle on realized prices considerably for vintage chronographs of this era.
Active JDM Listings
Japanese marketplace activity over the past two weeks shows a wide spread in both condition and asking price. The listings currently visible on Mercari Japan illustrate just how much variance exists within this reference family, with some sellers pricing aggressively on damaged examples and others asking multiples of the US median for cleaner pieces.
- ¥25,000 on Mercari, listed as excellent condition (approximately $165 USD at current exchange)
- ¥35,000 on Mercari, listed as excellent condition (approximately $230 USD)
- ¥29,500 on Mercari, condition unknown (approximately $195 USD)
- ¥92,000 on Mercari, listed as good condition (approximately $605 USD)
- ¥236,000 on Mercari, listed as damaged (approximately $1,555 USD)
The ¥236,000 damaged listing is an outlier and likely reflects either a rare variant, an incorrect category listing, or a speculative ask. The two excellent-condition examples at ¥25,000 and ¥35,000 are the most actionable data points for buyers looking to buy 67-9119 Japan and assess realistic entry levels.

Recent Alert History
No strict buy or opportunity alerts have fired for the Citizen Bullhead Chronograph in the past 90 days. This can mean a few things. Either recent JDM listings have not cleared the pricing thresholds that Tonbo's alert logic uses to flag value, or the comp data is too thin to generate a high-confidence signal. Given that the comp quality for this model is currently rated as an estimate, the system is appropriately conservative. Buyers monitoring this reference should consider setting up manual watchlists through Tonbo's signals dashboard to catch listings as they appear rather than waiting on automated alerts.
Japan vs. US Price Gap
The gap between Japanese asking prices and the US median is real for certain conditions of the Bullhead, particularly the excellent-grade examples appearing at ¥25,000 to ¥35,000, which land below the US estimate even after shipping and import costs are factored in. Demand for vintage Japanese chronographs in the US has grown steadily, and the 67-9119 for sale domestically tends to carry a premium from sellers who know the model's following. The flip side is that condition variance in this reference is severe, with dial refreshes and replaced pushers documented frequently, and without handling a piece directly, photo-based buying from Japan carries real risk. Thin comp data also means pricing on both ends of the market is harder to anchor, which is the primary risk factor for anyone making a buying decision on this model today.
