Reviewing the Bulova Lunar Pilot: A Timepiece for Space Enthusiasts! 🚀
The Bulova Lunar Pilot is a special watch that pays homage to a historic moment - when it accompanied astronauts on their journey to the moon. Let's take a closer look at this timepiece that captures the spirit of space exploration.
Design: The Lunar Pilot has a classic and functional design. It features a sturdy stainless steel case with a black dial. The bright white hands and markers contrast nicely, making it easy to read the time at a glance. The date window at three o'clock adds a practical touch.
Movement: Inside the Lunar Pilot beats a quartz movement. This means it's powered by a small battery, which keeps it running accurately without the need for winding.
Durability: One notable feature of the Lunar Pilot is its robust build. It's made to withstand tough conditions, which is essential for space missions. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal adds an extra layer of protection, keeping the watch looking sharp.
Comfort and Strap: The watch comes with a comfortable black leather strap. It's well-made and fits nicely on the wrist. The traditional buckle clasp ensures a secure fit.
Special Features: One standout feature of the Lunar Pilot is its tachymeter bezel. This allows for quick calculations related to speed and distance, which can be handy in various situations.
Historical Significance: The Lunar Pilot holds a special place in space history. A Bulova watch was worn by astronaut Dave Scott during the Apollo 15 mission, making it the first privately-owned watch on the moon. This legacy adds a unique aura to the watch.
Value for Money: Considering the quality, heritage, and special features, the Bulova Lunar Pilot offers excellent value. It's a piece of history that you can wear on your wrist.
Conclusion: The Bulova Lunar Pilot is a watch with a captivating history. Its simple yet functional design, along with its durability and special features, make it a timepiece worth considering, especially for those with a passion for space exploration. It's a tribute to a momentous event in human history, and a fitting accessory for any space enthusiast.

Sharing my journey and started talking watches on my YouTube.
Wait, are you saying that there were other watches that went to the moon besides a Speedy? That's blasthemy haha😜
Amazing watch!
Love the accuracy and convenience of the Lunar Pilot's movement, although I prefer mine on a tropic strap.
Got to have it on the NASA velcro strap with the Apollo 15 Serial Numbers. Feels right to me

I have the version on the bracelet which apparently has larger spring bars which are impossible to remove. Granted I love it on the bracelet which was my intention to purchase, but pics like these make me wish it was easier to have strap options.

I can dig it.
How ever
For me it’s this space grave curved edge metal buckle that tickles me silly. Had to fight tooth and nail to get it on but boy when I did…

I was with you but I lost you at tropic strap. But I guess it’s a good thing we all like different styles of straps. Way more fun that way 💯✌️😉

The bracelet on the 43mm version is quick release. So a big difference, there.

We went there way before 1969. Bang… Zoom!
It’s got an interesting story that’s for sure. That the company forgot they supplied a one off watch that was worn on the moon and only realised what they had done when the original went up for sale
I think they also recreated it right by going quartz and making it more affordable than a one for one remake. Interesting story nice watch and a great entry into moon landing history 👍
It's a really cool watch, this thing rocks any bracelet/strap you put on. It's still cool even with the boring original strap that I still wear because I just can't decide with strap to put on it!
To me, it's a fascinating timepiece and I love it. I can manage to pull it off on my Itty Bitty 6.5 inch wrist with a NATO or NASA Velcro.
Nice review and I love mine. I think you missed a trick in not mentioning that it is a Precisionist movement and super accurate. 👍
Thank you. Yea it’s a really good watch for sure.
