Bulova Men's Archive Series Lunar Pilot Chronograph Watch

Bulova, an American watch brand founded in 1875 by 23-year-old immigrant Joseph Bulova, has a rich history of innovation and precision timekeeping. The company has stood at the forefront of the industry, registering over 50 patents and introducing groundbreaking products such as the first full lines of men's (1919) and ladies' (1924) wristwatches, the first clock/radio (1928), and the first electric clock (1931).

In 1920, Bulova established its own observatory atop a New York skyscraper to ensure the utmost precision in its timepieces. Following World War II, the company's pioneering spirit led to the creation of The Bulova School of Watchmaking, where new and unique methods were used to train disabled veterans for positions in the watch and jewelry industry.

Bulova's most significant innovation was the revolutionary Accutron, the world's first fully electronic watch, introduced in 1960. This groundbreaking technology was an integral component of U.S. space technology, used on 46 NASA missions, including Apollo XI, the first lunar landing (1969).

Today, Bulova has expanded across the globe, with four separate watch brands – Bulova, Bulova AccuSwiss, Bulova Accutron II, and Caravelle New York – as well as the award-winning Bulova Clocks. The Bulova brand offers an extensive selection of watches crafted with the finest materials, including 315L surgical grade stainless steel, diamonds, mother-of-pearl, carbon fiber, and Bulova's proprietary Duramic nylon/ceramic composite.

Powering these timepieces are Precisionist-class quartz, automatic, and quartz movements, featuring Bulova's proprietary torsional resonator movement, proven in laboratory testing to be one of the world's most accurate, with accuracy to within seconds per year.

The Bulova Precisionist Chronograph is the only chronograph to combine stopwatch timing to 1/1,000-second with Bulova's Precisionist-class torsional resonator movement, providing an extraordinary level of timing accuracy. This advanced chronograph features four subdials to display the cumulative time at a single glance, with individual measurements on the combined 1/10- and 1/100-second counter, as well as the hour and minute dials, dual-duty floating second hand, and a distinctive 1/1,000-second track with retrograde indicator.

Bulova's commitment to innovation and precision has led to the creation of the SPECIAL EDITION MOON CHRONOGRAPH COLLECTION. After the Apollo 15 mission commander made lunar history while wearing his personal Bulova chronograph, the brand is making history again with the Bulova Moon Watch, which replicates the original timepiece, updated with the exclusive high-performance quartz movement with a frequency of 262 kHz for unparalleled accuracy. This special edition features super-luminous hands and markers, anti-reflective sapphire glass, tachymeter, and calendar, all housed in a solid 316L surgical-grade stainless steel case in silver-tone with a black dial.
