Bulova Lunar Pilot 96A299 96B251

On August 2, 1971, a Bulova chronograph was worn on the moon, engineered by Bulova for the demands of the lunar environment. Now, Bulova returns to the design and updates it with an exclusive high precision quartz movement, continuing its legacy of precision timing with the men’s Bulova Lunar Pilot chronograph from the Archive Series. The Lunar Pilot chronograph features the same 43.5mm stainless steel case as the original Bulova Lunar Pilot chronograph. Slim chronograph pushers and a crown featuring the Bulova tuning fork logo are positioned at 3 o’clock. Under the flat sapphire crystal, the six-hand chronograph dial is rendered in a deep black evocative of space, with stark white accents including the tachymeter ring and retro Bulova logo. The slim hands and applied markers offer exceptional legibility and are applied with super luminova for low-light display. The recessed, circular grooved sub-dials include a 1/20 chronograph seconds counter at 3 o’clock, running seconds at 6 o’clock, and a 60-minute chronograph counter at 9 o’clock. The Lunar Pilot is powered by Bulova’s proprietary high precision quartz movement, resonating at a frequency of 262khz for unparalleled accuracy. The watch is paired with a matching 3-link stainless steel bracelet with a push-button deployment clasp featuring an easy release system for quick changes.The Bulova Lunar Pilot brings the past to the present with a design from space exploration history, perfect for the modern adventurer.

One of the 2 watches that have served Apollo missions on the Moon. Other being legendary and megaexpensive Omega Speedmaster. Less known and very underrated- Lunar Pilot ( also known as Bulova Moonwatch) gets very close in terms of presence for less than 10% of the price of Speedmaster.
