Lunar Pilot
Archive Series
On August 2, 1971, a Bulova chronograph was worn on the moon, engineered by Bulova for the demands of the lunar environment. Now, the iconic design has been updated with our exclusive high precision quartz movement. Continuing Bulova’s legacy of precision timing with heritage-inspired design, the Lunar Pilot chronograph from the Archive Series features a unique dial that reinforces our spacefaring history, and the 43.5mm silver-tone 316L stainless steel polished case, creating a dynamic 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 presented in a unique red and silver “panda” style, with a vibrant red inspired by the tone of the moon during a total lunar eclipse, sometimes referred to as a “blood moon.” A silver-white tachymeter ring offers contrast around the dial, which features a retro Bulova logo. The slim hands and applied markers offer high legibility and are applied with super-luminous material for low-light display. The silver-white 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 chronograph counter at 9 o’clock. Powered by our proprietary high precision quartz technology, resonating at a frequency of 262khz for unparalleled accuracy with a sweeping chronograph hand, this exceptional men’s timepiece is paired with a matching 3-link silver-tone stainless steel bracelet with a push-button deployant clasp and an interchangeable black leather strap with red contrast stitching, both of which feature an easy release system for quick changes. The Lunar Pilot chronograph brings the past to the present with a design from space exploration history, perfect for the modern adventurer.

Reviews
Blood Moon with the combined finish on the bracelet really stands out. It feels great to wear, and that red dial is so dynamic and eye catching. I was on the fence about making the investment, but it just looks amazing and I'm so pleased to have it in my collection.
Bought this watch about three weeks ago. I was torn between the light blue Racer or the Red Lunar Pilot. I chose the latter and couldnt be happier with it. The pushers are very satisfying and the time is dead on. I havent had to adjust it yet. Love the watch and I get lots of compliments on it.
A beautiful watch. Superb detail and finish. The textured dial is gorgeous. A complimentary leather strap is included, and it is top quality, supple, NATO style, and goes so well with the watch. It was very difficult to decide between the two colors, but I finally went with red as I only had one watch in that color. Another great watch from Bulova.
[Staff Review] a beautiful red, very bright and great for sunny weather. The case is wearable. Quick release bracelet and band makes it a great package
An anniversary gift for my husband which he absolutely LOVED! The watch is stunning to say the least. It comes with a gorgeous red stitched leather watch strap for a sportier look. The detail on this watch is exceptional. Thank you!
Beautiful and vibrant red on silver band.
Accurate, beautiful, unique
I selected this watch for the mystique of the lunar missions and the endearing story of how Bulova got to the moon and came back in one piece. What amazes me is learning about the remarkable 262Khz quartz technology behind this watch. I reset the watch when the clocks leapt ahead back in the spring. Now that the "fall back" is nearly upon us, I am amazed that this watch is in almost perfect sync with my cell phone. After nearly six months, this watch is just two seconds off from actual time. This means I need only reset it twice yearly, for the time changes, and that's it. It's the only collector piece watch I own that is also "grab and go". I am very impressed with the technical excellence, and I applaud Bulova for yet another innovation in the running saga of horology.
