On August 2nd 1971, a Bulova pilot 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 Meteorite Limited Edition Lunar Pilot chronograph from the Archive Series, this time, with a unique dial that reinforces its spacefaring history. The Lunar Pilot chronograph features a 43.5mm sandblasted silver-tone grade 5 titanium case with polished accents, creating a dynamic and incredibly lightweight presence on the wrist. Slim chronograph pushers and a crown featuring the Bulova tuning fork logo are perfectly proportioned and ideally positioned at 3 o'clock. Under the flat sapphire crystal, the six-hand chronograph dial is meticulously crafted from genuine Muonionalusta meteorite. This 4.5 billion-year-old meteorite was discovered in Northern Scandinavia in 1906, and its varied crystalline pattern makes every dial unique. A black tachymeter ring offers contrast around the dial, which features a retro Bulova logo. The slim hands and applied markers offer exceptional legibility and are applied with luminescent material for low-light display. The black recessed, circular grooved sub-dials include a 1/20 chronograph seconds counter at 3 o'clock, running seconds with a sweep hand at 6 o'clock, and 60 minute 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 and affording a sweeping chronograph hand. The watch is paired with a fitted black leather strap which features an easy release system for quick changes. This timepiece is limited to 5,000 pieces worldwide. The Bulova Lunar Pilot brings the past to the present with a design from space exploration history, perfect for the modern adventurer. Presented in a Bulova watch box. 50m water resistant.

This is a truly fantastic watch. Yes it’s quartz (albeit a High Precision Quartz) and yes it’s twice as expensive as the standard Lunar Pilot models, but the bead blasted grade 5 titanium mid-case, the raised rehaut markings that catch the light perfectly, and of course that stunning 4.5bn year old meteorite dial raise this piece to another level. The Lunar Pilot (also known as the “other Moon Watch”) has a fascinating history, and is by far my favourite Bulova watch…and this limited edition meteorite version is simply the best yet. Great history, great materials, perfect finishing and QC, and a movement that’s accurate to circa 10 seconds per year. The only downside is the standard strap isn’t really to the same quality as the watch head, but that’s an easy fix as the Lunar Pilot has 20mm lugs which means there are a multitude of strap options out there.
