Pre-Owned Modern Bulova Lunar Pilot 96B251

Bulova made space history on August 2, 1971--during the Apollo 15 mission, a moon pilot chronograph, customized for lunar conditions by Bulova engineers, was worn on the moon. Now Bulova makes history again with the special edition Lunar Pilot Chronograph, updated with our exclusive high performance quartz movement with a frequency of 262 kHz for unparalleled accuracy, continuing a history of precision timing. Features include super-luminous hands and markers, anti-reflective sapphire glass, tachymeter and calendar all housed in a sandblasted solid 316L surgical-grade stainless steel case in silver-tone with black dial. Two interchangeable straps are included -- one a textured black leather; the other, a black nylon with a nubuck leather patch that commemorates the date of mission (DOM) as 08021971.

Bulova: One of America’s foremost watch manufacturers, Bulova was founded in the late 19th century by Joseph Bulova in Queens, New York. The brand quickly established itself as a producer of high-quality timepieces and became deeply ingrained in American culture, even creating the first-ever television commercial. Often considered an unsung hero of American watchmaking, Bulova offers a rich and varied catalog that makes it a treasure trove for vintage collectors.
