Bulova Lunar Pilot - Black

On 2 August 1971, a Bulova chronograph was worn on the moon — engineered for the demands of the lunar environment. The Bulova Lunar Pilot Chronograph (96K111) from the Archive Series returns to that iconic design, updated with an exclusive high-precision quartz movement that continues Bulova's legacy of uncompromising accuracy. Faithful to the Original The Lunar Pilot features the same 43.5mm silver-tone stainless steel case as the original. Slim chronograph pushers and a crown bearing the Bulova tuning fork logo sit at 3 o’clock. Beneath the flat anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the six-hand chronograph dial is rendered in deep black — evocative of space — with stark white accents, a tachymeter ring, and the retro Bulova logo. High-Precision Movement Powered by Bulova’s proprietary High Performance Quartz movement (NP20), the Lunar Pilot resonates at 262 kHz — eight times the frequency of standard quartz — delivering accuracy to within seconds per year. Slim hands and applied markers are treated with Super-LumiNova for clear low-light legibility. Sub-dials include a 1/20 chronograph seconds counter at 3 o’clock, running seconds at 6 o’clock, and a 60-minute counter at 9 o’clock. The watch ships with both a 3-link stainless steel bracelet with push-button deployant clasp and a NATO leather strap, each featuring a quick-release system for easy swapping. A piece of space exploration history, built for the modern adventurer.
