The Bulova Lunar Pilot Chronograph Watch from the Archive Series is a remarkable timepiece that made space history. On August 2, 1971, during the Apollo 15 mission, a moon pilot chronograph was worn on the moon, cementing its place in history.
Crafted with precision and attention to detail, this special edition watch features a six-hand chronograph movement that utilizes Bulova's proprietary high-performance quartz technology. With a vibrational frequency of 262 kHz, it delivers exceptional accuracy, ensuring reliable timekeeping for the wearer.
The case of the Lunar Pilot is constructed from stainless steel, finished with a matte black IP (ion plated) coating, creating a sleek and modern aesthetic. The black dial is accentuated with white accents, offering a visually striking contrast. To protect the dial, an anti-reflective curved sapphire crystal is used, providing clarity and scratch resistance.
Comfort and durability are key features of this timepiece. The watch is fitted with a black leather NATO-style strap, featuring a three-piece buckle closure for a secure and adjustable fit. Water resistance to 50 meters ensures the watch can withstand the occasional splash or light rain without concern.
Presented in a boxed package, the Lunar Pilot Chronograph comes with a certificate of authenticity, solidifying its status as a special edition piece from the Bulova Archive Series. The dimensions of the watch are 45mm in diameter and 13.5mm in thickness, making it a sizable and substantial presence on the wrist.
The Lunar Pilot Chronograph is a testament to Bulova's rich history and technological prowess. Its connection to the Apollo 15 mission and the legacy of space exploration imbues it with a sense of adventure and exclusivity. This timepiece is a must-have for collectors, enthusiasts, and those who appreciate the intersection of watchmaking and space exploration.
At a retail price of $595, the Bulova Lunar Pilot Chronograph Watch offers a compelling value proposition, blending exceptional craftsmanship, historical significance, and cutting-edge quartz technology. It is a timepiece that not only tells the time but also serves as a tangible link to the remarkable achievements of humanity in space.
